That's not a loving way to treat your daughter. Snooping on her facebook posts and loading her up with chores and not allowing ANY biteback? Fucking retarded. Any people here who were parented like that, I seriously pity you. My childhood was awesome because my parents didn't allow me to take the piss, but they didn't go crazy and snap when I had a little temper here and there. Loading her up with chores = at most 30 minutes of chores a day? That is hardly loading someone up with chores, especially when they aren't paying their way for anything... | ||

As far as I'm concerned, during your teenage years, your parents are either dicks or non-existent. EDIT: Also, this is quite the opposite of, "Childish," "Immature," or, "Similar," behavior. He didnt just shoot it and yell, "Respect my authority," he put out his problem, explained it, elaborated on why it's wrong, the past problems which have not changed, and how the behavior lead to this. Hell, in a way, I wish my parents were this clear and explained all of their shit... | ||

Teenagers have whined about their parents ever since the word 'teenager' was invented, and whining on facebook is not different from whining to friends -- What an awful fucking post. She didn't just whine, she disrespected both her father and her mother, swearing at them. | ||

The guy is a major, class act douchebag. However, the girl got what she deserved. Not to mention, as the guy explained, all she has to do is make her own bed and do some basic chores. Boo fucking hoo her life is so horrible because she has to put away the dishes and wash a table counter. She disrespects someone who cleans her house for free, she disrespects her parents, and she disrespected herself. Again, the guy is a douchebag and a total class act -- however, she deserved it. I mean honestly. She does maybe 30 minutes of work around the house, INCLUDING making her own fucking bed and cleaning up after herself, and she demands to be paid by her father to do it. She bitches and whines for him to buy all this shit for him and to work so hard for him and her computer, and he does, and then she spits in his face. She's a spoiled little brat who needed to be put in her place. Oh boo fucking hoo, he shot the laptop he purchased with his own money and told her if she wants any of the crap she whines for constantly she should buy it herself and get a damn job and stop relying on him for everything. Good on him. | ||

Obviously the father wasn't thinking clearly by shooting the laptop, but I can't even image how angry and just how disappointed I would be if my own offspring were to act that way. Hopefully this girl has learned something today. This. Way to go for this dad. He's not letting his little girl be a attention-whore like 98% of other girls her age.

But putting a bullet through her laptop and the software you bought (what the hell did you buy IT man?) is so extreme and looks petty. Why destroy such a perfectly good laptop and why the fuck would a girl use Facebook to rant about shit. There's so many questions unanswered ): I thought the video was hilarious and gasping, but... | ||

But then I was raised by parents that respected me and respected that I had to work at things in my life, even though I didn't have to do everything they did when they were young. Respect is a two-way street and the father made it clear in that video that he does not respect his daughter. Also, it's ridiculous for him to want her to pay him back for the bullets he just fired into her laptop or the software he just made useless by firing those bullets. I don't know what the general situation is at that house, but I have far more sympathy for the kid than the father. You don't think there is respect? I'm sure its a wonderfully respectful family, unless if you disrespect your parents to the Facebook public. You can't just say your whole "respect is a two way street" thing without realizing that it's hypocratic in this situation to argue from the girl's perspective. The money thing is reasonable from a lesson perspective, teaching her that where she views her parents as watching her do work all the time, in actuality they work and spend the earning from their work as well as time on her(and the earning is no petty thing). Also, is even though I didn't have to do everything they did when they were young. even referring to anything in the video?

I would argue that the father sounds like a fairly intelligent person, considering he expects his daughter to be a mature individual. It's the uneducated ones that care less. | ||

She outlined (albeit childishly) some ok points. She doesn't want to make all the beds, just hers, she doesn't want to clean up after adults if they mess up what is clean because they should be old enough, as she is to clean it themselves. Instead of that, you basically said, WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE I WALKED IN THE SNOW UPHILL BOTH WAYS TO SCHOOL! The most childish thing was destroying her freedom of speech, she has that right, and you can't destroy HER property because you as an adult feel disrespected. When someone curses another person out, do they shoot up their laptops? Nope they take it, feel disrespected and thats it. I understand punishment, but if you don't address why she feels such a way, all you do is create more socially rebellious behavior in the child. Instead of acknowledging her complaint, addressing it and teaching her to question authority, to ask for change, you are just being as big an ass as i bet you thought your parents were. I like how you outlined how all the adults are disrespected when all she did was rant on facebook. I bet you that this guys story about going to college, being a fireman and HS all at the same time coincided the hardest singular year of his life and that he is using such a drastic point of view as a justification for saying she has it easy is stupid. I could just as easily tell him to screw off, he has had it easy and that their is a child somewhere with no food. My point in short is that this was drastic and totalitarian and violates the very idea he is trying to inculcate TL;DR he basically is screwing over his life lesson by being too authoritative and not addressing her complaints in an adult manner. He outlined and corrected most of what she wrote: - She did made all the beds each day, he corrected her and say she makes her own, and maybe the spare one in a while. - She has to clean the floors, he admitted and countered by saying it takes no time at all (which if you ever swept floors would know is true) - She had to do dishes and clean the counters. When all she really had to do what put away dishes from the dishwasher or load some dishes if they're there. Counters take all of a minute or two to clean so it's really not a big deal - She doesn't want to make coffee, he never addressed this, but honestly coffee isn't a big deal She then claimed all of these responsibilities should have been done by their "maid", which the father corrects her on by saying she's not at all a maid. He bought the laptop, so in the end it's still his property. Granted shooting it was a bad choice. Had she actually had any real complaints than yeah, I could feel some sympathy for her. But her "complaints" are all just her bitching about having to actually do things. She does have it easy. I had to actually hand-wash the dishes when I lived with my family, buy my own laptop, and do various other chores that my parents felt I should do (clean the basement, garage, mow the lawn, shovel snow, etc). While I won't say he acted the best way (I would have just kept her laptop or given it away), I'll commend him for actually trying to be a parent. Also lol, teaching her to question his authority? Only a dumbass would go up to there child and say they should question everything they say. Insulting her parents on facebook is disrespect, I don't see how you can see it any other way. | ||

Fail to see how any of this is relevant to the issue at hand, nonetheless. My experience with that culture has been only negative in my life, so that's my generalized opinion. We all categorize, we all generalize, we all have overarching opinions even if we don't want to admit it. Nonetheless, as that is all entirely irrelevant to the discussion, this guy did a great job teaching his spoiled brat a lesson. | ||
