What a horrible mentality . That must have been a hard one to work through . For me , it was the opposite Ndad expects us to give him little gifts or do things for him on a regular basis with no prompting , otherwise he throws temper tantrums . Like god forbid you go buy yourself , say , a small carton of ice cream without bringing back a bigger one of his favorite just because . Or basically do anything for yourself without doing something extra for him . As another startling revelation , you don ' t have to give people gifts if you don ' t want to . <| sep |> I think he should do what he wants . <| sep |> Saw this a bit ago . Definitely worth a watch if you like the era it takes place in . I ' ll be rewatching it as well .
