I made a $10 bet with my dad today, and once I won the bet he told me that it cancelled out the $10 I owe him from a previous $50 bet. I asked him when the bet was made and he couldn’t remember, I asked him what the bet was about and he couldn’t remember, all he knew was that I now owed him $40.
I told him that I would never hold someone accountable for a bet that neither of us could remember the time or subject. So I said I wasn’t going to pay and he took offense to it. He said that he couldn’t believe I couldn’t trust him and that it showed a lack of integrity on my part and that he was so disappointed. I told him I don’t think he’s a liar, I offered the $40 once I saw how offended he was, I agreed to write down the details of bets made here on out, and I even apologized for my wording. The one thing I didn’t take back was my rule on betting about not remembering the time or subject, only the money. I told him I’m never betting with him again.
After rejecting all of my solutions to fix the situation, he said it isn’t about the money and that he feels he’s failed me as a parent because of my outlook. He told me that I’m too thick in the head to put myself in his shoes, and I told him there’s no emotion in betting, it’s strictly monetary. Too me it seems like he has no interest in solving the problem just calling me out, there is a reoccurring theme in our relationship of what I feel is him not being able to take me disagreeing with him ever. I wouldn’t have taken this so seriously if he didn’t call me overly sensitive all the time, in my opinion this is clearly overly sensitive. Neither of us think we’re the asshole so I’m asking for another opinion. AITA for sticking with my opinion and not agreeing based on him being my dad and saying I should trust him?
