Can a Father Be Jealous of a Son or Grandchild Who Is More Talented Than He Is?

Can parents feel jealous when their child becomes more successful or talented than they are?

This discussion examines parental jealousy, gifted children, family pride, and comparison. It keeps the original Torah question at the center and connects it to the mapped real-life setting without adding a ruling, factual claim, or modern conclusion that is not present in the canonical source.
