Would you ever straight up say to your son, ‘You are a disappointment’?

    someone’s entire life can legitimately be a disappointment to themselves, and to others.

    and they should be forced to acknowledge that. especially if they want to improve it.

    plenty of people are piece of shit their entire lives. look at Rob Reiner’s son who ended up murdering his parents who did nothing but right by him his entire life.

      Yep, that can be an extreme case where it could be used. I think it gets used by abusive or just clueless parents more often though.
