Should I feel guilty beating my son in ping pong?

That's awful. You need to put him up for adoption so he can have a chance to have a real father.

The problem started when you let him win everyday.

1.37/10

And please call the sport table tennis. Ping pong is racist.

Your serve is illegal. You are disqualified, and your son is awarded the victory.

You should feel bad...but should feel worse for letting me beat your once virgin daughter at Beer Pong.

My son is 9 years old, and I play ping pong with him basically every day. I have let him win every time, but after his mother asked him if he was going to win today, he replied with "im going to beat his ass." I got on to him for his language; and proceeded to beat him. 21-0. Every time a point is scored, it is his task to announce the score. After I beat him, he dropped the paddle to the floor and went to his room to cry. I have not talked to him since; he did not want lunch, and just told us to go away. Should I feel guilty for this? What should I do?

0/10 no one should believe that obvious troll. Also the opioid doesn't have kids.

No you shouldn't since he's weak and you're not.

When playing with stronger opponent, well it isn't much, but honestly, if you're facing someone that is much better than you, you don't have anything to lose, still they do! So go for it with everything you've got, that's my thinking at least. If he's not going to learn it, you should show him who's da boss around here.

But truthfully, it seems like you're just an awful troll-parent.

So maybe you'll find these useful:

Tell him that Santa Claus is fake, and that he's adopted. Get it all out while he's sad. 4/10.

You suck as a father. That’s all I have to say.

If you were a real table tennis referee you would know most people play by house rules so whatever his serve is as long as the other person has no problem with it is completely legal.

And, according to some, cultural expropriation. But isn't ping pong just like tennis but played off the table? That is, isn't tennis just like ping pong but played on the table?

This is the correct answer.

Growing up I had a ping pong table and would play my dad all the time. He would consistently beat me, but I would continue to get better and better. The games turned into epic battles. I'll never forget the first time I finally beat him. It was glorious.

I can't imagine being robbed of that experience, and being robbed of the opportunity to continue to get better at ping pong, if my dad had always let me win.

Dr. Jordan Peterson says you should let him win 30% of the time (and conversely no more than 70%). So you obviously shouldn't smoke him like that but you shouldn't have let him win every time either.

Peterson also only eats beef and salt and only drinks water.

I wouldn't take many life lessons from him.

I always thought the rule was that the other player had to be able to see the ball. You don't necessarily have to toss it, but it has to be visible at all times during the serve. Is that right Official Scorer?

Forgot to mention even though I know the post is a toll post: no dad should ever allow their son to win. The first time a son beats a dad in a sport is a great moment for both and it shouldn't be taken away. I was competitive with my dad in all the sports we played and as I got older and started beating him, it was a great thing for both of us. I'm glad he never let me win; it was part of the process of setting goals and learning to compete lose and win.

The term ping pong comes from the sound the ball makes when it hits the paddle and then the table. But you already knew that.
