My father .... is giving me a roof, food, a car to drive, and pays for my University schooling (I will probably also go to graduate school) despite the fact that I am twenty-four. He also is generous in his gifts, buying me things that are very important to my schooling (new computer when the old one was on its last legs). I know that he does this because, as far as a Boomer who grew up during the Cold War in the US can understand it, this is how he shows that he loves me and wants "the best" for me. I am grateful for his simplistic if ultimately misguided expressions of love, and I am also grateful for his help as I pursue what I am good at such that I can start my own life. Times are hard, and since I grew up with Baby Boomer parents, I never developed any profitable skills while growing up such that I could make a living today without a degree. Maybe I could make a living, that is, but I would be stuck living a life on the border of poverty and chained to a major city.
It sounds to me like you too 'want "the best" for me'.
What do you contribute to the running of the household?
Now I am not saying that you should do things that your father asks you to do which go against your conscience; but I do say that by 24 years of age you should stand on your own feet and not be beholden to your father in the way you are.
As for your father being a "boomer", what has that to do with your inability to stand up like a man and start to take responsibility for your own life?
Besides "Living a life on the border of poverty" could do you much more good in maturing you and your faith than the cushy life you seem to be leading. At 24 it's time you grew up and started to take a few responsibilities of your own.
