Is it only me who thinks this woman is a no talent hack?

Children are not rised to make their parents proud. It's a selfish point of view. Are his children proud of him would be a better question.

Maybe they don't feel like disappointments. But I imagine, if there lives are really so disappointing to their parents, then they know, and they have enough problems without their dad basically spitting on them. I know I'm a disappointment to my parents, but if my dad did this, I'd probably kill myself. Maybe I'm just a weak weak person that can't see this as a driving force for good, but rather just pathetic.

To the dad:
If you're going to do something like this, raise your kids right the first time. You only get to do it once. You are a horrible father. Even if there's nothing good to say to your friends about your kids, you don't just lament that you have such sucky kids. They're your kids. You raised them the way they are, so consider yourself a disappointment.

the kids towards the end are so sweet. The little boy that told his mom it was okay he just wanted her to be happy melted my heart. I give him permission to date my daughters.

No they're not....
