No, it's not acceptable, which is why I refuse to tolerate it anymore. I won't take the crap from my father and I'm certainly not going to take it from a neighbor.
My father has always felt that he is above any woman - he thinks that because he's a man, he knows more than poor little old me and I'd better do what I'm told. (even though I'm 39 and have proven to make better decisions than him) He badgered me into a corner until I blew up and told him that if he wanted to discuss my financial judgement, then we could discuss his. (my grandmother pays his mortgage and he's failed at every business he tries to operate) He actually said that I'm only successful because my husband makes good money. Needless to say he wasn't a happy camper when I was finished with him.
It even ticked my DH off because we didn't have a dime when we got married and we worked our butts off to get where we are today. And my father acts like the magic fairy came and gifted us.
