[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is his Instagram post about this. Now this is a DAD:

I came home to find out that my boys received two trophies for nothing, participation trophies! While I am very proud of my boys for everything they do and will encourage them till the day I die, these trophies will be given back until they EARN a real trophy. I'm sorry I'm not sorry for believing that everything in life should be earned and I'm not about to raise two boys to be men by making them believe that they are entitled to something just because they tried their best...cause sometimes your best is not enough, and that should drive you to want to do better...not cry and whine until somebody gives you something to shut u up and keep you happy.

What this is, is a DAD who makes his kids do stuff to fit his own personal agenda.[/quote]

By definition of "parents," we all make our kids do stuff "to fit our own personal agenda." It's just that some of us have more admirable agenda than others.

Duh.[/quote]

+1 strange that pp didn't see that. Every angle parenting choice is actually a aren't imposing their thoughts and beliefs on their child. [/quote]
