<human>: My father and I never saw eye to eye as I was growing up but it just got worse the past few years.

Ever since he lost his job two years ago, he does nothing but stay home and watch TV all day.  He has since left the responsibility of taking care of the family to me (I'm only 24).  

This has caused a strain between us because I'm working and trying to get my life started while it seems like he has given up being a responsible adult (He's in his mid 50s).  

My Mom told me to be the bigger man and accept my Dad's flaws as he's never going to change his ways.  However, I just can't accept that.  I'm always on his case to do more; I tell him if you aren't going to work, help out around the house.  Even on the occasion that he does help out, I'm always pushing him to do more.  This is what sets him off.

I'm a pretty easy-going guy but there's something about my Dad that just pushes my button.  I'm really stubborn in the ways I deal with him but I also feel bad for being an ass to him.  What should I do?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Dad stops taking responsibilities as an adult and I ridicule him every chance I get.  I feel bad about it and want to repair our relationship but don't know how.
