I'm 43, have wonderful wife and kids and I'm pulling around half million of złotys annually. My 85yo father is really nice guy, I love him and he loves me, but I've never heard from him that he's proud of anything I did. If I ever cared about that stuff I'd be depressed, but I don't because I know fathers will never be proud of their sons. They see their sons as their direct continuation and because of that sons will always be a failure just for the fact they're something different.

Trying to please your father will only make you miserable. For sake of you long term relations with you father, don't do it.
