Do you keep unflattering portraits drawn by kids?

>> did you see this, daddy dearest, a letter from a 67-year-old retired british naval officer in england who has three adult children in their 3s, one of them 40, expressing his bitter disappointment in them and it's gone viral. here's part of it, i can now tell you that i for one, and i sense mum feels the same, have had enough of being forced to live through the never-ending bad dream of our children's underachievement and domestic ineptitudes. one of the kids, they are not pleased about this, exactly, leaked it to a newspaper and that's why we have it publicly.

>> the letter goes on. the dad says i want to hear no more from any of until if you feel inclined you have a success or an achievement or a realistic plan for the support and happiness of your children to tell me about so he's like cutting them off.

>> the good thing is he waited until christmas so that's nice.

>> well.

>> how do you feel about it? i do think there's something to tough love. i do think you have to not always coddle your children. these are adults, know that they haven't perhaps had all the success in life. they already know that they failed in things.

>> they,didn't come out of nowhere. one of the doubters is still talking to the father and she's like this is awful, can't believe he did this, it's all true. it's totally true, totally true, but i can't believe he did it, but it's true.

>> and it's not like he didn't post this on facebook, wrote it privately to the kids and they went public to it.

>> for everybody to see.

>> i think there's some other issues going on here.

>> seems like it.

>> i feel like we got the entire story.

>> and by the way, one of the children who is not speaking to the parents went out publicly and said it's the parents' fault still that we turned out the way we did, so blame the parents again.

>> there's something called therapy.

>> the british have the same problems.

>> take two, scary mommy portrait, can all relate to this. your killed draw adds picture of you, there's pride and there's joy and there's some horror. a woman named jill smokeler has a website called scarymommy.com and collects and posts these mom portraits, pieces of art, if you want to call them that.

>> her idea came about when her son ben drew a picture of her. everybody thought she looked like honey boo boo 's mom.

>> she adds the captions on the website. some of the other ones.

>> i read the note last night. i was like, i don't have kids yet and how bad could this be, and then i saw the pictures, yikes.

>> in fairness to kids, their proportions are a little off.

>> caricatures. i had josh, do this as your assignment, draw a picture of me. i didn't tell him what it was for.

>> okay.

>> he draws me sitting on a throne with a crown on my head that says bow down now, what does that say?

>> i think we know what it says.

>> i don't think there's much to figure out.

>> i didn't tell him what it was about.

>> josh figured it out. do kids see the truth?

>> speaking of the great santini, what's going on at your house, natalie.
