Why do some parents do stuff on purpose to get kids to learn thinks? That's annoying stop.

My dad would do some stuff on purpose so we can learn things. One time I wasn't interested I meeting the daughers of my aunt's friend. I didn't tell her that. Weeks ago my aunt introduce us to each other and she asked me if I can show her around. We gave each other strange looks. I tried to leave to go to my room, but my dad was like, "Hey short stop. You're a little shorty aren't you. He introduced himself as my dad. We ended talking to each other and I realized we had a lot in common. My dad told me, "By the way in the kitchen when I teased her, I did that on purpose. I did that on purpose because I want you to talk to her. Communicate. Be around people. You're not here to just be in your room all day while every is having fun partying.
Another time my dad purposely left the kitchen messy so one of us would have you clean it up. He also locked my door on purpose because he didn't want me to stay in the house all day and wants me to quit being cooped up in my room all the time.

You met a new friend whom you have a lot in common with, you enjoyed a day outdoors instead of being cooped up in the house and you're being raised to be a responsible contributing member of the household (which will eventually make you into a responsible contributing member of society). Your dad didn't nag you at all in making those things happen. I'd call that a win. You have a good dad. Give him a hug!
