That the father was complimenting the kid, or that the kid was going on ad nauseum? You think the kid will get messed up from too many compliments? I think the opposite problem usually causes the issues, not too many compliments at a young age, especially if the compliments were warranted. But I disagree with Abbi. The descriptions create setting and mood, they draw the reader in and make them feel like they're there. Any good writer does that. I’m not quite getting what’s bothering you so much.

At least he seems to know how to behave properly at a shabbat table. I think you're jealous. I have a feeling your Totty never fawned over you at the Shabbat table and it makes you feel crap to see another child getting that kind of attention. Also, your writing is really bombastic and pretentious. Tone down the descriptions, no one really cares how you were sitting or drinking wine.

Then he will grow up. Someday the kid will meet people that won’t always compliment him and will even criticize him sometimes. Then he will grow up.
