has anyone ever heard of a father competing with his daughter(s) as though they are his sons? My father does this. Has always done it.

On our recent trip to Maine he got pissed that my sister and I could read a map. And road signs. You know, the way you do.

He flipped out in the car, ordered me to pull over (on the Me turnpike) and when I didn't immediately pull over (where was I to pull over on the turnpike???) he hit me. While I was driving 80 mph DOWN THE TURNPIKE.

I can't figure this guy out and I've known him for 48 years.
Does anyone else have a father like this?
