Publically and condescendingly berating a (presumably) grown man in front of his entire family, infantilizing him and the crypto thing, the little power demonstration with the drinks, getting everyone to laugh at the poor jobless bastard?
Not sure how wholesome that seems to me. Chewing someone out in public, especially at dinner, is asshole behavior. Being overbearingly "positive" about it on the surface doesn't really help.

If I’m going to work every day to support your fat lazy adult ass while you blow money on jpgs of monkeys I’m within my rights to bust your balls about it and you’re lucky I haven’t thrown you out and turned your basement into a home gym

Depends entirely on the age.
If some 30 year old who never had a job and is trying get rich quick schemes like crypto while still living at home, then they deserve to be talked down to.

Your child being a jobless loser isn’t justification to publicly shame them in front of family. Especially because you are enabling them. How about instead of shaming them you kick them out of the house?

I’d argue they weren’t berating him. Nothing in that statement implied they were angry. They just want better for him and will hold him (at least partially) accountable (by not letting him drink).

It’s fiction. I still don’t understand how so many of you take all these posts as descriptions of something that actually occurred.

Nothing like knowing your whole family thinks you are a loser during christmas, and being sickly sweet about it.

Just looking at this picture my brain made enough cortisol for the rest of the day.

First paragraph? Absolutely. I would love that level of engagement and personal interest from family.
Second response and the punchline? Well, that’s what we’re here for. Of course it’s awful.

I have a hard time imagining both those lines coming from the same person. Maybe, I guess? But I agree, 1 is loving and supportive; 2 is mean & hurtful.
What a terrible family op must have.
