Why does your father scold you?

Generally, fathers scold children to teach them a lesson. Not in the mean, abusive way, but the life lessons, kinda way. But sometimes, very rearely though, the father will scold because he is disappointed in the attitude of the child. For example, if the older son were aggressive and playing sports and supremely dude-like, he might be disappointed when the younger son turns out gay or something like that.

Hope that answered your question. :)
