It was my mom who was that blunt to me. When I was around five or six I was angry kids were mean for no reason (I was offended that kids in school just right off the bat decided to be dicks, vs. the kids at my former baby sitters where we had several years to create grudges), and screeched that it wasn't fair! She asked me when anybody had ever told me life was fair?ETA: It really makes the case for them either not having fathers or having a bad relationship with their fathers, because this is like the quintessential dadism. Life ain't fair. It's what my father always told me. I can stomp my feet, throw a tantrum, cry out "it's not fair!" and my dad would just look at me and say "life isn't fair." That's the lesson that young people these days need to learn. Life ain't fucking fair. It never was, it never is, it never will be. Get over it.
She said I was kind of quiet over that thought.
