Good Parenting?

[Mrs Pantherfan]

I'm tellin' ya...she's a little ***** waitin' to happen

I don't know if its "good parenting" but it sure as hell aint bad parenting.

Just realized he's from Albemarle. Nice!

Whatever works for your child is good parenting.

The girl deserved it but he could've handled it a lot better. Except for the gun part this is something a fifteen year old would do as a retaliation - in other words, not the way a responsible adult should respond.

Block social media from her computer. Or give the computer away to someone who needs one. Tell her it's important that she be respectful even when she disagrees about something, and you will be developing a thoughtful, rational human being. Chances are she will harbor bitterness about this for years; she may deserve it, but that doesn't necessarily mean its the best thing for her.

I see nothing wrong with teaching his daughter that it's okay to destroy other people's property as long as they've said mean things about you beforehand.

I think 95% of young women are these days.

Her next rant will probably be seen on xvideos

I agree with what he is saying. The gun thing was a bit too much, but he was upset, you could tell how he was talking that not only was he pissed but he was really hurt and felt she was really ungrateful. But teenagers are stupid, especially teenage girls.

I think donating the laptop would have been a better idea, instead of looking like a child shooting it up and promoting waste. If he's in IT he could just block sites from the router level, pretty easy. I also have a hard time believing he was doing all that at 15 years old, considering he said he was a volunteer fire fighter and couldn't even drive by himself at 15, and apparently had no parents, so who drove him to the fires? He got a buzz to the pager and he called someone for a ride to the fire?

I think hijacking her facebook and posting the video would have been enough, combined with donating the laptop to charity. Now she is never going to forgive him. This is on the news, it's everywhere, you know it's super embarrassing. I know how females keep grudges and she's not going to get over this.

She'll eventually understand what he's saying when she grows up, but she won't understand the embarrassment he's caused her (and his family).

Hell she got off easy!! If I had written that about my parents at 15, they would have WHOOPED MY ASS!!! please.

He's addressing an issue in a way he and his wife find acceptable. I approve. I have taught students like that. Sometimes you have to do something drastic to get a child's attention. I'd rather see some do something instead of making an excuse for her behavior.

Except it was actually his computer that he bought and was letting her use.
