Sophia Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I think it was more sad than funny. It's hard to know how to take that because you can't see in real life what they are all like when together and who is upsetting who most of the time. It was amusing to see a dad saying his piece as I believe Dads are frequently under appreciated by their families, but kids don't usually go bad all by themselves so there is some blame to put on the parents somewhere. I think he was reacting to the embarrassment of the public disrespect more than the actual crime. He can't create anything but fear type respect rather than loving or fond respect after responding in such an emotional manner. If they all continue to behave like that I can't see them having anything but a terrible relationship for a long long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nymox Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I think it was a well deserved reaction. Most of today's teens don't have a clue about how life is in the real world, we worked for the flash new shoes, or the new skateboard, we worked for our first car. And usually when parents would see you applying yourself they would help out in the end. I think this girl is lucky to have a father that cares enough about her future to try and set her strait now, he takes an interest in her life which is a lot more then many kids. He certainly isn't as ass of a parent, though I would expect this kind of comment from the facebook generation, which is the problem he is trying to address. They expect the world for free, and get upset when its not given to them, spoilt undeserving consumers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuri08 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 How can u say he's doing the right thing though some parents are over controlling nutters who rule there kids with an iron fist I'm not of the Facebook generation I'm 22 and left home at 14 and worked full time some of my friends had such controlling parents like this guy seems to be.just because he pays for everything doesn't mean she's a slave.I bet she actually does alot and he responded like that to make him look good as he knew she couldn't defend herself. I worked my ass off as a teen to help my solo mother pay the bills while trying to have my own life and take care of family but watched my friends suffering because of there parents controlling and manipulating them.I'm a father now and will prepare my children for the real world not control there world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 How was she a slave? She had minor jobs to do in the household and was expected to clean up after herself. Nothing wrong with that. She needs to be thankful I am not her parent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymox Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Couldn't agree more Caryl! Ruling with an iron fist is one thing, but I don't see it in this case. You can see the father struggling with this, its breaking the poor mans heart. The world isn't an easy place, and my generation has added to the problem by spawning more then raising disney channel kids. Parents like this guy deserve a thumbs up for being involved in his daughters life, not running through the muck because he cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuri08 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 What about the girls side we only saw his teens are always going to act out and shooting a laptop for a Facebook comment is nuts he should be actually helping her in life she will end up having slot of hatred for him and will no doubt lose contact etc when she moves out he's a control freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepsnana Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Go back and listen to everything the dad says. Pay close attention to what has happened. She has pulled this sort of thing before, and was grounded for it. Therefore, the father has tried to deal with this peacefully, to no effect. She used the Facebook privacy settings to hide the comment from her parents - She knew it was going to cause trouble. He had spent a fair bit of time the previous day updating her software, using his own money. I have seen worse behaviour from my niece recently, so I think you are underestimating how temperamental some teenagers can be. (she's since pulled her head in, and I'm sure the girl in this case has pulled her head in too) How can u say he's doing the right thing though some parents are over controlling nutters who rule there kids with an iron fist I'm not of the Facebook generation I'm 22 and left home at 14 and worked full time some of my friends had such controlling parents like this guy seems to be.just because he pays for everything doesn't mean she's a slave.I bet she actually does alot and he responded like that to make him look good as he knew she couldn't defend herself. I worked my ass off as a teen to help my solo mother pay the bills while trying to have my own life and take care of family but watched my friends suffering because of there parents controlling and manipulating them.I'm a father now and will prepare my children for the real world not control there world Wow Zuri, with that I would have expected you to have a very different answer. I helped my mum out with the bills with my earnings also, but I didnt leave home as early as you did. I'm nearly 24 and I have a 6 year old. If she pulled the same crap that this guy's daughter did, She would be grounded, and her lappy would be up on Trademe (not shot at). Keep in mind, this guy isn't controlling his daughter, he is punishing her for shaming him. And instead of physically punishing her, he's simply taking away one of her luxuries.

Sophia Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 The girl must obviously have raised herself to be that way, the dad had nothing to do with it because he bought her a laptop. He was just an innocent victim whose sperm just happened to spawn an ungrateful kid who arrived one day in a cabbage patch :sml2: Always 2 sides to the story.... this is not even a smidgen of the lifelong drama that seems like this family has been so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Always 2 sides to the story.... this is not even a smidgen of the lifelong drama that seems like this family has been so far The girl gave her side on facebook, Kudos to that dad. Social networking was her domain and he jumped on it to show her the repercussions of her actions. Why do you analyze the family history? Because she has been told off before? Why do you make it seem like this is a major drama that other families don't go through? I really don't get the haters. Sure he has approached it differently from what we consider the norm, I will give you that this was even extreme, but not extreme in the punishment in any sense. He has set boundaries, she crossed them for a second time. Who the hell are we to judge what that man does with his family? Stories about how you had it tough and you were a good kid by no means gives you the right to judge another man on how he raises his daughter.

zuri08 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 i dont agree with it but that is my opinion i have seen it first hand what a controlling parent can do to a teenager and its not fair on them.i was not a good kid i just did what was right by my family and still do but just because i did the right thing doesnt mean i was good trust me i got into all sorts of mischeif some serious.i think it was very extreme but eahc to there own i geuss i just feel sorry for ids who have to go thrugh life being told what to do and dont leave home till in there 20s and when they do they arent socialised as everyone else and become outkasts and dont want to be out its a sad state when that happens i have had a few friends like that and it sucks they have to be at home by 7 no phone no intenet or nothing until a ridiculous amount of stuff is done for there parents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Your response although a fair opinion seems to have nothing to do with the video and more about some deep personal issues you have with parents. :sage: Anyway, most parents do the best they can and based on how they were raised. I think the guy is using all the tools he can to teach his kid right from wrong. And that is a good thing regardless of our opinions of how he went about it.
