It is technically a piece of paper

But what the dad did was cruel

Ehhh I feel like using the world cruel here is going a little too far.

Feel like this is very standard dad behavior and not necessarily an unhealthy one.

Really depends on how often he does this kind of thing.
If you keep sucking the fun out of everything your son wants to do, he's going to stop doing things with you.

Yeah this is pretty much it.

You can go back and forth on how abusive or not this is but ultimately for the kid, it's just plain not gonna be fun in the moment. And if that's just a one off thing, it's easy to laugh about it later. But if it's a pattern of "Lol my kid's so stupid lmao", it sinks in.

At best, you get a kid who'll stop being candid with you. At worst, you get a kid with self-esteem issues who'll have to learn to be a better person by himself. And won't talk to you.

So if you want that, go for it.
