It is boring. It's an ego boost to hear my kids tell me they love me, but the only surprising thing would be if a kid
doesn't love their parent.
Come to think of it....
Tiffany Trump’s Sad, Vague Tribute to Her Distant Father
Quote:In a speech about five minutes long, Tiffany was unable to come up with a single meaningful anecdote about her father or his influence in her life. He wrote notes on her childhood report cards, she said, and called her on the phone after someone close to her died. Her attempted praise was edged with sadness: He’s good with advice, she said, but “he keeps it short.” She loves introducing him to her friends who have “preconceived notions” about him, because “in person my father is so friendly, so considerate, so funny, and so real.” The unavoidable implication was that the Donald Trump the public knows is none of these things.

Well, since you chose not to watch, here is a summary what she actually said:
1. It is one of his defining qualities that he can do whatever he puts his mind to.
2. His desire for excellence is contagious and he posseses a unique gift for bringing that trait out in others.
3. He's always helped me be the best version of myself by encouragement and by example.
4. My Dad has taken great pride in my accomplishments.
5. He wrote "sweet" notes on all of my report cards.
6. My father always asks about my other family (with mother Marla Maples) to make sure that they are healthy and safe.
7. When someone close to me died, the first call I got to comfort me was my father. He got me through it with "unwavering support."
8. My father is a "natural born encourager," the last person who will ever tell you to lower your sights or give up your dreams.
9. People who know him well see that he is very friendly, considerate, funny, and real, strong, protective, kind, and endearing.
Sounds pretty good to me. Only someone desperate to find something wrong would describe it as "edged with sadness" as you quoted. Basically, she said that she has a great father who has always helped, supported and encouraged her and whom she loves.
