YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"A retired British naval officer's scathing email to his three adult children about his bitter and frustrating disappointment in all of them has gone viral with its eloquence and biting honesty.
Nick Crews, 67, of Plymouth, England, sent the letter to his two daughters and son to express his deep disappointment in them and their life choices.
"We are constantly regaled with chapter and verse of the happy, successful lives of the families of our friends and relatives and being asked of news of our own children and grandchildren," Crews wrote. "I wonder if you realise [sic] how we feel — we have nothing to say which reflects any credit on you or us."
He criticized them for failed marriages, lack of maturity and their inability to provide for their families."*
Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss the "shit o gram" Nick Crews, 67, of Plymouth, England sent to his 3 adult children. We don't know what happened in the family, but is Crews justified in sending the letter, or is he going to far? Would you send a similar letter to your kids if you were disappointed in their lives?
