The dad literally said “no objections”. Sounds like he’s trying to control his child. Even if the kid can say no, the dad is still being an asshole.

You can’t tell that from one text exchange. Yes, it’s possible, but it’s also possible that they’re just trying to motivate their son to try something new.

It’s only being controlling if there’s a pattern and you acquiesce. We don’t know that’s the case.

  There’s another snide line. Even if we only have a couple texts to go off of, that kind of dialogue is rarely effective and usually comes from shit people
