[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you have a parent say stuff like: stick with your sport or interest, you don’t want to be a loser!  Get good grades and study habits, you don’t want to be a loser!  Pick up after yourself so you’ll be a good roommate, you don’t want to be a loser!

My parents did not use the word loser. But they ignored me a lot and only paid attention to me if I did something they considered impressive. Actually earlier this week I was visited by a very vivid memory of being in high school and the school had a "top 10% dinner" for the students who were in the top 10% of the class by GPA. I was invited but my mom didn't want to go and told my dad to go. I wasn't close to my dad at all (not really close to my mom either but she was around more, my dad was always working) and it felt awkward to go with him.

But then we went and I was not actually in the top 10%. I received an award for a paper I'd written in a class, but not for GPA. As we walked to the car afterwards, my dad told me how humiliating that had been for him.
