Why does my dad say this about my grades?

Question

Okay so all throughout school (ever since kindergarten) I maintained to get either straight As or all As and two Bs and everytime I bring home a report card or a progress report my dad gets mad and says wow look your grade went down in chorus or wow a ninety In health. Or just pick at my grades then he gives me a lecture on how I'm not trying my best and I missed too many days etc... And my mom she sees my report card and she says you can do better. Then she says jk and walks away. My parents don't even say wow you did a good job. They don't even say that's good.  All my friends get rewarded (50$) for getting straight Bs and I never got rewarded (no money no going out to eat nothing). It just makes me depressed and it makes me feel Iike I'm workin hard for them and not myself

My dad is the same way. At first I used to cry especially when I was young, but you have to realize you get good grades for YOU not for money like other kids. But I would tell your dad that he makes you feel bad about yourself when your grades are actually good. Tell him you try very hard. He probably just knows you can mae 100s and that's why he isn't satisfied with 80s or 90s

Just tell them that you are trying your best and that you will do better.
 And my parents never did any of that stuff for me so don't worry about it.

Try to tell them how you feel about it and they just want you to be the best you can
