the naked truth

...I argue because of it? I used to agree with everything he believed, mainly cause I was an impressionable kid and always looked up to my father, etc. I'm 23 now, though, and I'm forming my own views, many of which are different from his. (I'm talking about politics and religion, but also minor things like cars, how the yard should be kept, etc.)
Whenever I talk to him, he always manages to anger me because of this...I basically want to change him and the way he thinks, dresses, acts just to satisfy what I'd want in an ideal father. I realize how terrible, selfish, and immature this is and I want to know how I can get over it.
I think this all started when I began dating my current boyfriend. He comes from a wealthy, perfect little family and I guess I'm jealous of them and wish my family could be like that...but they're exactly the opposite. His family does so many things together (play golf, play cards, even watch TV together!), they have 2 very successful sons, they have MAD money, etc. My family is just plain F*CKED UP
