That was probably the best thing your father could have done for you. If he did nothing else as a parent, that act alone made his parenting tenure a success.I'm a bit ashamed to admit it, but when I was in high school, I was somewhat indoctrinated and told my dad that if someone is successful, it just takes things from those who are not. My dad was a tough, tough man, and he gave me a look that gives me chills to this day. I thought he was going to put his boot clear through me. He promptly explained how that was utter bullshit, and I saw the light. Kids need tough parents who work for a living to set them straight.
