Capulet goes really overboard in demanding that Juliet marry Paris. He has foolishly given a promise to Paris that she will do so and now does not want to look like the fool he is. Of course when people know they are wrong, they really cannot take criticism, and this is true of Capulet. And you know the Nurse; she cannot keep her mouth shut. So she criticises him.
