There was a guy with his son, maybe 12 years old, and they were backing the boat into the water. No one was at the ramp and I was pulling my jet ski out. I couldn’t help but notice how this guy treated his son. He seemed to be nervous about launching the boat and he projected that at his son. He was barking orders at him and saying things like “COME ON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!”. The father was frustrated with his own launching inexperience and was acting unfairly to his son. The poor kid.
I was a lot younger at the time and didn’t say anything. The more mature version of myself would try to reason with the dad or try to help. All I know is that when I have kids, I would never do that. Because you will discourage the kid from doing many things and instill low self esteem.
