恨 seems more likely to be regret than hate in this case
certainly, that's K's interpretation


大部份的家長,在不知道自己的孩子是過動兒時,都曾經過一段「恨鐵不成鋼」的打罵教育期。
Most parents of such children, unaware that their child is hyperactive, pass through a stage of hitting and disciplining the children severely.

民間極力衝撞原本封閉的市場,偏偏國營事業面對變局少有作為,在恨鐵不成鋼的心情下,「先實施自由化,開放其他業者進入市場;有了競爭,才能刺激民營化,」薛琦不諱言政府的苦心。
With private enterprises trying to break into previously prohibited markets, SREs have done little in the face of the changing situation. Schive Chi reveals the frustration the government feels when he says: "First implement liberalization, and allow other firms into the market. Only with competition will there be a stimulus to privatization."

「不婚、不生、不成家」,可能是經濟條件緊縮下的無奈選擇,但也不乏是個人重視自我權益的自然反應,看在上一世代眼中,有時難免又氣又好笑,頗有恨鐵不成鋼之感。
Decisions to refrain from marrying, having children, or buying a home may be economic, but they are also frequently related to an individual's sense of personal entitlement. Taiwan's older generations sometimes can't help but find the situation both funny and infuriating, and wish that the younger generation would hurry up and grow up.

毛泽东如同恨铁不成钢的老师,邓小平则像要求严苛的伙伴。
Mao acted like a frustrated teacher, Deng as a demanding partner.
