is it a good thing or a bad thing or is there a middle ground?

@SW-User no idea but as a kid that has it happen I think parents believe it motivates the kid but in my case (which may be isolated) it does the opposite

@Cow1919 yeah it never motivated me either! It motivates no one for that matter! It's only frustrating and makes the child a rebel. But just stop letting it bother you. The more you embrace yourself the less it will bother you.
