why is it that when parents say that they are disappointed in you it means so much more than when they say that they are mad at you?

Because parents are ass holes, and they know it means more and is far more effective then just getting mad at you. They save the "I’m disappointed in you" for special occasions. Now you can look forward to saying it to your children in years to come. Don’t you feel better now?

I’m sorry it's early and I need sleep.

haha I saw you Mike!!! Twice!! haha I rule...

and in answer to the question...

it's because you put so much effort into making them proud of you / happy with you, and then you either do something wrong or something bad happens it just seems better for them to just be mad because it wears off quicker than for them to be disappointed in you, because when they're disappointed you have to work twice as hard to make it up... and then you're always thinking to back to the time where it was like your parents hated you.

okay so that didn't come out right but hey, its an answer

yeah, yelling sucks.

how about solving the problem by running up to your room, hiding and crying.

that's what parents mean when they say mean things.
" go away, im not ready for you right now "

"I'm mad at you" means I don't like how you are behaving. I have a problem with what you are doing.

"I'm dissappointed in you" is more personal.

Making people angry isn't as bad as making people sad and hurting their feelings. Especially when those people are your parents.
