| If so, how do you deal? I have my own ideas about how to succeed and that success matters and kid has no ambition, no goals, is passive and takes no initiative to create anything or solve any problem. No amount of encouragement or modeling or pressure or support has changed this one iota. Still thinks life will magically work out. |

How old is the kid?
What have you done to intervene? Is the other parent involved in the kids' life or is it just you? A lot of variables to consider here before we dub your kid a loser as you have. |

| How old is your child? What’s the current situation in terms of grades, extracurricular activities and friendships/social? |

raise the kid you have, not the one you want.
I feel for your kid. Hopefully they will post on here saying Anyone being raised by a loser? |

| Wow, that is an awful thing to say about your child. What have you done to foster interests or explored things they might have a passion in? |

| I guess you could ask your parents. |

| WTF is wrong with you, OP? I think you must be a troll. |

| OP just stop trying to make your kid into something they're not and if you think they're a loser, do them a favor and limit contact. It might feel a little harsh but long term, they'll be so much better off without you around putting them down. |

| I’m raising a child with significant executive functioning issues, which aren’t his fault. |

| The loser kids will always have universal basic income (UBI), marijuana, and TikTok. |

I'm raising a severely ADHD kiddo, who actually DOES have academic and career goals. But he can't drive to save his life, is late everywhere, and needs extended time to hand in work.
Perhaps you've entirely missed learning disabilities, anxiety or depression in your own child, and given the way you communicate here, they're not going to share any inner turmoil with you. Way to be a failed parent, OP. |

I'm sure referring to your kid as a loser is helping to motivate him/her.
