Unironically, what the FUCK was Pa Kent's problem?!

He is trying to teach him mortality. Like you normally would with a family pet that dies while the kid is still young.

I don't think Synder has a very high opinion of humanity, which leads to more cynical takes on things.
So he decided to make Supermans morality come more from his Kryptionian side and not his human parents, which leads to scenes like this.,
He's just not a very good fit to write for a character like Superman.

He literally TELLs you his thought process by pointing out Pete’s mom. Clark revealing himself would flip the world upside down.
