Depends is what way they said it if they were joking then it doesnt mean anything my dad calls me (profanity here) because i take the mick of his lack of hair
I'd take it as a sign that I had bad parents, not as a sign that I was a loser. You'd have to be a pretty horrible parent to tell your child such a thing.
Really I don't think that it is that bad and is probably a joke. There is much worse they can do/say before I'd say they are bad parents.
I just don't think its ever acceptable to put down a child like that; especially when they look up to you for guidance and support.
Why take anyone calling you a loser at their word? Now I know what makes a bad parent. I could post some lovely experiences about the one who gave birth to me. Wouldn't say she was a parent though honestly. That would be to much credit.
some people are gullible though. Also very young children don't have a choice to believe their parents or not, why would they lie to them?
Because people are messed up. I don't see why people think that just because they conceived you means they have or will care about you. Its not the way the world works.
This is an hyperbolic analogy, but by that logic, we shouldn't call arson a crime because murder is much worse.
Calling your child a loser is a form of verbal abuse. Perhaps light in your eyes, but I wouldn't even contemplate using such words about my children, not at them or about them.
