Apologizing for 'being so cute' = Potential Deibu warning sign.
Apologizing for 'being born' = .....I'm not sure what to call it, arrogance?(because of the tone, or maybe that face it has on...or something?) or the exact opposite of arrogance? (Seriously, its saying 'sorry for being born'?? Talk about low self-esteem!)
Humility? If the ko actually meant it in that in a humble way, that's a huge amount of understanding/respecting the mother for going through childbirth.

I was already voting for the arrogance angle, just because of the facial expression on the Ko.

We don't 'condemn' it to a life as a scum yukkuri, its own behavior does that. If it acts like scum, we'll treat it as such.
Regardless, in my opinion scum =/= shithead, its only one step above shithead, but still.... Also, The way I do it(in my stories) is that scum do have the potential to change for the better, its just very VERY hard to make them do so, and they can't do it without outside influence. (To keep that shorter, I'm leaving out a variable I use.) But if they drop down to shithead, they become unchangeable, simply due to how they view the world at that point.
Besides, its been shown repeatedly in material both on OYP and the fanfic group that yukkuri personality is (usually) 90%+ nature, and 10% or less nurture. The general fannon consensus seems to say the same.
(Keep in mind though, how you want to do it in your stories/art/whatever is entirely up to you. Just because the general fannon consensus is against it, doesn't mean you have to restrict what you put in your stories.)
