Will i become this lame when/if i become a father?

In the ending for Black Ops 2 when you keep Mason alive by shooting his legs, Mason tells his son that "He made him proud" when he continued to climb harrowing trees when he fell down. This is an example of a popular movie cliche.

This "You made me proud son" phrase/cliche is good for movies because it's melodramatic and expository. Do dads actually say this in real life?

Unfortunately, my answer is "Yes in one very isolated case."

My dad constantly tells me he is proud of me for the most inane crap. He tells me he's proud of me for learning manual, for hanging out for him and his friends, and he even said once following a day of back-breaking housework "It actually gives me a great deal of pleasure to work with you two, it's a dream I've had ever since you were babies."

What kind of a corny, gay, incest rape thing to say is that? My mum has never told me she is proud of me. I have zero problem with that. Why? BECAUSE IT'S A SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE THING TO SAY PERIOD. There isn't even a response to it. An awkward silence has followed every time my dad has said it (It's worth adding my dad is an intellectually and mentally irregular alcoholic) Just keep it to your fucking self!

Am I right? Have your parents ever been this uncool?

    Are you serious?! Could you be any more ungrateful? Do you know how many kids out there have never heard that from their parents? You should be happy instead of talking shit about your dad. Ungrateful asshole...

    i wish my dad said he was proud of me more often. it's positive reinforcement and a confidence booster.

    Every kid goes through a period of not respecting their father, usually 17-24 years of age. Get over it & give your dad a break. Your pissed cos he says he's proud of you, would you rather him beating you up? You sound like a complete arsehole of a kid. And if your father is mentally and emotionally inept, you've definitely inherited it. Ungrateful little turd. Most Idiotic IIN post.

    GROW. THE FUCK. UP.

    The only lame on here is you. Your dad is being a good dad. He shows that he cares about you and he wants to give you boots in your confidence. Who wouldn't want a father or mother like that? I am not a very emotional person especially when it comes to family members, but compared to the kind of shit that I've had to deal with from my family, I would take a father like that any day.

    It makes me sad you don't know how good you've got it. I think though, whether you like it or not... when you have your own child you will become as amazing a Dad as yours is. And suddenly you will realise what a little turd brain you were :)
