      George was totally different from the way Sheldon talked about him.That could be because Mary paid more attention to him as a little boy and he was more influenced by her early in his developement which was a mistake because George was a helluva dad and Georgie is alot like George was as a young man and his solid development as a man shows that.

      In the show Young Sheldon, Sheldon lacks emotional quotient maybe this is the reason he misunderstands his father, It was shown in an episode where he watches Beverly Hills to tell Missy what happened (cause she's grounded) but he never figures out what's going on with the scene until Missy gives her a cue about the background music.

The key one is when he’s trying to convince Georgie to come to his wedding and Georgie reveals how he was the one who took care of everything when Sheldon was in Germany because Mary was a mess after George Sr died and Sheldon is surprised because he thought Mary always took care of everything.

    George wasn't perfect, and didn't have all the answers but he did try to do right by all three of his kids. Since Sheldon is narrating the prequel from the future, and has been confirmed to have children himself, it's likely that he finally understands more of George's well meaning nature. Our parents' behaviour usually makes sense to us once we start raising our own children.

It is confirmed that Sheldon was a husband and father and wife during the narration of Young Sheldon.

    To be fair, the Big Bang Theory's later seasons, especially his interactions with Georgie, do heavily imply that Sheldon either willfully or subconsciously distorted his own memories of his family.
    That's not even considering the stuff they intentionally kept from him so as to not burden him emotionally.
    Yeah, the obvious answer is that TBBT's writers didn't think that far ahead and only started fleshing stuff out after the fact, even if it contradicted previous episodes, with Young Sheldon taking it even further ,but the idea of Sheldon's view on his family being skewed IS there at least. So its not that far fetched.

      I kind of think that Sheldon had a bad perception about anything other that science in TBBT timeline. Sheldon might have depended on Mary and Meemaw for social cues and they often degraded George Sr. So his general perception about his father was bad. But by end of TBBT he becomes more open-minded and starts developing social perception of his own. When he's narrating Young Sheldon he's already a father and a husband and develops a view-point about his father which is much kinder and understanding.

    I could see the show being a way for Sheldon to realize that his dad wasn't as bad as he described on TBBT. After my dad had an online affair with a woman 10 years younger than him, all I was was angry at him. All I could see was his flaws. But I came to realize that my dad make a stupid, stupid mistake, but he wasn't a bad father at all. He would make sure that I got to all of my doctors appointments, to school on time, to buy me pads when I needed them (he never complained about it), and he would be sure to give me money for food or would buy me something to eat so that I wouldn't go hungry. He also would tuck me in at night, especially if I had a nightmare. He even quit his job so that me and my sibling were taken care of while mom was at work

    The fact that the way Sheldon described his father on the Big Bang Theory has little in common with the way George Sr was on Young Sheldon is not a problem at all. The way Sheldon frequently described the other characters on the Big Band Theory had almost no reality to his descriptions. So the fact that Sheldon gave a negative description of his father is consistent with the negative opinions he had of every other character on the BBT.

    I found Mary in TBBT to be utterly terrible as a mother and a person - judgemental, hypocritical, preachy.

    I like to think Sheldon intentionally misremembers what his dad was like earlier in the series because of he lacked the emotional intelligence he would later developed. Perhaps it was easier to remember his dad as a angry, drunk idiot so that the grief wouldn’t be so hard.
    Obviously the real reason is because when they made young Sheldon they wanted to make George SR likeable by audiences. And thus there are discrepancies between how he is described in TBBT and portrayed in Young Sheldon. It’s not necessarily exclusive to him but I notice it more with George.

      I don't think Sheldon truly saw him as a piece of shit, quite the opposite really. I think he knew the type of father he had - a loving caring one. And I think that losing his dad at such a young age made him realize that he lost a huge support system, which he needed to cope with. I think his coping mechanism was to distort his memories of his dad and paint him as a villain in order to convince himself that he truly didn't lose all that much; when in reality he lost a whole lot and he knew it. Throughout TBBT, even though Sheldon (and his family in their appearances) take jabs at George, when it matters most they all acknowledge the man he truly was. I really think that the vilifying of George was his own way of coping that he lost a super great dad! And if TBBT didn't make that clear, Jim Parsons' narration over YS does make it clear that Sheldon knew deep down that his dad was a great one!

    Sheldon had very altered feelings about his family, especially his father. When he became a father, he recently understood it and appreciated the father he had 😢

    George Sr. Was actually a really good father which became apparent the more I watched young Sheldon I had a different view of him going because of how he was painted in big bang theory but he had very heat warming moments especially with Sheldon and Missy

    George SR is by far the better parent he loves all three of his kid's and doesn't try to force them to believe in something that they don't

    Helps us realize that a story narrated from just one person's point of view can be very different from the true nature of the incident

    I'm theorizing that Sheldon may have glossed over and misread all of George's best qualities. In the Big Bang Theory, he does meet friends that help him learn and grow, able to inform him of 'non-optional social conventions' and so on. I'm hoping by the end of Young Sheldon, there will be a voice over where Sheldon comes to the realization that George wasn't a bad father. I believe there are many hints going into this theory. Ultimately, I hope the affair was big misunderstanding and George went along with the misunderstanding because (maybe) he was protecting someone else in a more shameful truth. But I think that's asking for too much.
