Maybe because it doesn't reflect reality? That it makes their father out to be someone he's not? That at best it's a sliver of the truth?
Do you understand how television shows are made? What the motives of everyone are? Do you think the truth is anywhere near the top of the list of priorities?
This is ridiculous. This is part of the reason that kids have become so soft. Jakob obviously benefited from this upbringing and now he is biting the hand that fed him. Jakob is a total loser.
“This is ridiculous” No it’s not
”This is part of the reason that kids have become soft” Every generation has been saying the next generation is soft, while also complaining about every single aspect of their life and the world around them. This is you and i’ll bet $100 on it.
“Jakob obviously benefited from this upbringing and now he is biting the hand that fed him” No, he’s hitting the hand that hit him now that his father is no longer in a position of power over him. He more likely than not has NPD which is often caused by being made to feel like you won’t ever be enough/live up to expectations reinforced by leadership figures during childhood. When you think narcissist, you think some A-hole who acts better than everyone, but people often don’t think/know about how that person constantly suffers because they feel a burden of needing to be the best at everything which is entirely impossible, and feeling like people won’t value them if they aren’t the best at everything. Sure, he’s one of the best runners on the planet but I’ll bet money his mental state has been a living hell for a large portion of his life.
“Jakob is a total loser” And i’m a total winner because I live an entirely mediocre life and took the parental abuse I suffered like a champ. I totally have the credentials to call someone who has achieved more in life than I ever ever EVER will by the age of 24.
Your post seens logically sound right smart guy? Oh no it doesn’t? That’s why I picked the handle champ! Beat those kids and teach them to be losers that criticize winners just like you!
You come across as one of those people who will always be the victim. Please do not have children. You will simply continue the cycle of victimhood. You will never have the intellectual horsepower to recognize that there is no Jakob without his father berating him. He would have ended up a mediocrity like you.
At face value, this is a horrible story of child abuse that is basically plausible, with multiple siblings saying the same thing.
I'd like to take a more nuanced view, however.
As a lad who was thoroughly beaten and yelled at by adult parents, I can assure you that child abuse literally never happens in any household.
Parenting is a full time job and no Person is perfect. It is ok for a parent to yell and lose control at their 6-8 year old kid if they are not learning or doing their math homework fast enough. These things happen and calling it child abuse is overblown and harmful to reputations. At the end of the day, I was a bad kid and did many things to deserve it. Kristoffer and literally all of his siblings except the youngest are probably exaggerating.
So I think it goes back to the start, and we can safely dismiss the effective testimony of these adult athletes as the work of motivated liars. I don't want to face my guilt or complex negative emotions, making it is easier for me to lash out at others who don't sweep all this under the rug.
I completely agree. As we know, there are genetic, epigenetic, and environmental influences. Child abuse - to the extent that it exists - could be described as learned social behaviors.
Many failed people do perpetuate the cycle of abuse because after all, its not like any adult is responsible for their actions or has the moral free will to do anything other than what was done to them when they were a kid and didn't have control.
Ingebrigtsens obviously have a strong athletic pedigree for track and speed. They'll be doing the same to their kids, as you say, because tigers don't change their stripes. Its in their genes at this point, I suppose. I would argue further that because of the complete and totalizing nature of genetics and absence of moral agency, the Ingebrigtsens will most likely form a dynasty of child abusers that lasts for a thousand years. I would be surprised if even one of the Ingebrigtsens somehow manages to break the cycle and, as Kratos would say, "be better."
All those things happened and were televised on the Ingebrigtsen series.
Ah, the reality TV show, the most credible of evidence.
Yep The kids would have turned out better if they were brought up the American way with a single mother on welfare with 4 different baby daddies who never show up.
