Coming from the guy that's unafraid to say exactly what he thinks? You weren't in the room for the conversation, so how can you say it was mean? Do you assume that everyone is as blunt as you? I bet it was brought it up tactfully, and there was some explanation.
I will have a similar conversation with my daughter when she's around that age. I'm going to tell her that had I been 10 years younger when I became her father, I know I would have been very regretful and probably resentful. I will stress to her that she needs to think about her own life before she takes on the responsibility of someone else's. It's not a mean conversation, it's a wise one.
