I understand and I'm really sorry for your loss. I hope he was a man who loved to listen his children and do a constructive discussion when a chance would occur. Don't get me wrong, but the thing is, my dad is a bit stubborn, gets easily irritated and never admits he was wrong. And oh boy, when in mood, he just loves to talk about himself, but he also ignores my attempts to talk, so it's a kinda fruitless conversation. I do know a lot about him, but apparently he is fine being distant with us children.

Meh, he usually just watches us playing console games for a while and then leaves the room. Usually when we chat, the conversations are awkwardly formal, so he just spends time on his computer and I playing video games with my siblings in our own room

My stories would be comparable to the famous kusikivi (the piss stone) https://fi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kusikivi

in english: after the crowning ceremony in 1751, the new king of Sweden, Adolf Frederick, visited eastern side of his kingdom (nowadays Finland). At Kurikka, near Turku, the expedition stopped to rest. The king used this stone for a cover to take a leak.
