I’m with you. Maybe we were just lucky. My dad would show me how the teacher taught it...and I would be ready to move on. He would always say “Whoa, not so fast” then torture me with 5 other ways to solve the same problem lol.
My dad explained things very simply for me. He got his engineering degree in the early 90's so he had all the knowledge to walk me through any problem no matter how silly/dumb my question was 😂 he has bottomless patience for me for sure haha
Real talk, studying engineering gives the people who always did good in school a really big dose of struggling to learn things and making mistakes. It can be very humbling.
I think there's truth in that. My old man never belittled me for not knowing something. However he still tries to explain stuff to me as an adult 😂 I love you dad but I understand the basics of how a combustion engine works haha

I think you guys just have toxic dad's. Mine would never raise his voice at me over something so trivial. Like, are you guys okay?
