While we were children, all our conversations with our parents were about us, our needs, problems and desires. We asked them about how the world works, but rarely – about themselves. These 18 questions will help you better know your father and see him in a completely new light. Put them to your father right now!
Now we have grown up, and we have the opportunity to talk to our father on an equal footing, from the position of an adult. At what point he realized that he wants to finally marry? What was his typical Friday evening when he was 17? What did he do on the day you were born? At what age his life was most interesting?
If your father is still in

your life, do not miss the opportunity to learn more about him.
Choose the weekend that you will spend together and arrange a real “Interview with an interesting person”. You will recognize your father outside his usual role.
We came up with several such issues that may become the beginning of a long and interesting dialogue.
- Who did you want to be in childhood? What a game was your beloved?
- Was there a moment in life when you wanted to change the profession? You decided or refused this venture?
- What did your parents tell you most often when you were little? As they called you? What words comforted? What did you do the best?
- What did you do the best?
- What advice of parents helped you a lot in life?
- What was the hardest thing for you when you studied at school?
- You are now where you dreamed of being in childhood?
- You ever had to stand up for yourself? How did you do it?
- Who did you say for the first time: “I love you”? When it was? You were reciprocated?
- (If your parents are together): At what point did you understand that you want to marry mom?
- What did you do that day when I was born (o)?
- If you could talk with three famous people from the past, who would it be? And what would you tell them? What would I ask?
- What was a typical Friday evening when you were 17 years old?
- Is there anything that you always wanted to do, but the chance did not introduce yourself?
- When you felt the happiest?
- What is an important skill, in your opinion, a person should have?
- What was the best gift you have ever received?
- At what age it was the most interesting to live and why?
During such a conversation with your father, you can find the general that you have and find out about the period in his life in which you have not yet been!
And the older your father, the more interesting he himself will be to re -survive his youth.
