Re: Dad uses facebook to teach daughter a lesson
I <3 THIS DAD!!!
Epic, Epic, Epic!!!!
Re: Dad uses facebook to teach daughter a lesson
I would be calling social services, his kid is 15, he has a gun and what he did to that laptop was quite disturbing.
I remember watching a Super Nanny US episode where these 2 teenage girls had to do all the housework, take care of their younger siblings and all their school work whilst their parents did bugger all. Obviously I know stuff on Super Nanny is exaggerated but probably not all of it.
His body language was so creepy and as he was scrunching up the paper he also did the same to his cigarette, this bit creeped me out. Just from his body language and the way he shot that laptop, I would assume he would hit his daughter/children when he was angry at them.
Too harsh and uncalled for imo.
Re: Dad uses facebook to teach daughter a lesson
Did I not see the same video as you guys did? Epic? Shooting something that you bought for your daughter is epic? He mentioned twice that he spent $130 upgrading it yesterday, he's just wasted his own money. He clearly has no respect for his own money.
I agree with this comment someone else made on that link.
Obviously healthy communication is lacking in that family. No doubt his daughter hides her feelings of frustration from him - he pulls out a gun to prove his point? How does that make him approachable as a father - it doesn't! He just reinforced the very behavior he was opposed to (disrespecting family in such a social forum)...at least when she got frustrated she just spoke her words, he on the other hand ( a grown and apparently emotionally matured man?) uses a gun to destroy someone else's property - which by the way, I believe is a criminal offense! I do hope his beliefs as a power figure aka a dad, is not that family is entitled to cross the boundaries of criminal laws, that such laws only apply to strangers but dads are warranted due to their outrage. (Abuse undoubtably will occur with such misuse of power and false belie...fs of entitlement) Rather than him focusing on his daughters disrespect towards him and the rest of the family...why not focus on how he as a parent can nurture more respectfully relations with his daughter. He's got it all backwards! Sure she may have been over reactive (wonder where she got that example from?) Parent by example, not by retaliation! I hope this family gets back on track, or he will push his daughter completely out of his life. :(
You should not expect your daughter to pay for the bullets you used...that was your choice, she should never feel responsible or held accountable for the actions of others. (only her own) However your actions destroyed her laptop, you who destroyed it, is solely responsible to replace it, not her. So much for all the effort and money you put into it, what a waste, and all at your hands. You can't expect her to be grateful to you now. Ineffectual parenting! Try listening to her, even if you feel her form of communication was inappropriate, she needs parents who can really listen and hear her, not parents who demand to be listened to. Good luck family, I hope for the best for all of you!

I have seen the very same video as you have, and stand by my comment on it.
I don't see anything appropriate in what he has done.
His kid is 15, and he didnt use that gun on her. Neither do any of his words or body language imply that he would ever use it on her.
Why would you assume that he hits her? Yes he crunched a paper, and that implies nothing and nothing at all.
He shooted the laptop, he bought it himself. Yes he wasted his money. Did he do a crime? No. She cant respect him, so now get yourself a new one and see how difficult it is if you have to do it yourself.
I think that comment that you agree with is way far stretched. And I am sure that social service will now make a case on this, because that is what they do. Run after people who dont misbehave with their kids and in this all they ignore the real cases where it is very obvious that a child is getting abused, but they make sure that they wait until that kid is dead.
Re: Dad uses facebook to teach daughter a lesson
I think it was bit harsh, and may I say ... immature. It was not about teaching her a lesson, the video is to show her 'who is the boss of the house'. That will never taught her anything, in fact it will make her more angry and rebellious.
Re: Dad uses facebook to teach daughter a lesson
Certain things are great for a laugh and a triumphant moment in a movie or tv show. But not in real life.

Using a gun, a weapon that can kill to teach a 15 old a lesson is not appropriate. Ever.
I do agree that social services go after the wrong people some times but it's very clear to see why his daughter would 'disrespect' him given his state of mind. The fact that he feels its ok to use a gun on anything is just wrong. Full stop.
All she did was complain, she used words that he used. She knows to use those curse words because he uses them.
A parent, a good parent leads by example.
Re: Dad uses facebook to teach daughter a lesson
Actually, the body language scared me while I was just watching the video. So if it was scaring me just watching it, it means a lot.
No sane person would shoot a laptop (he let his anger take over him = not healthy)
What the daughter did was very stupid, no question (kids these days have major guts) BUT his behavior of handling it tells you he is not the greatest dad either.
Re: Dad uses facebook to teach daughter a lesson
The gun part was uncalled for and definitely did not make a good example for his daughter.
Everything else he said, I agree with 100%. A kid who uses such horrible language about her parents on a public forum deserved what she got.

Why do you automatically assume that she learned the bad words from him?
You (and I too) dont know anything about him or her so how can you say anything about his state of mind and thats why she disrespects him?
Re: Dad uses facebook to teach daughter a lesson
I took my judgements from his body language and I stand by what I said.
Just like I wont be able to change your opinion, you cannit change mine.
He looks like a violent man, shooting something that didnt need to be shot at proves that, in my opinion. I judged, stereotyped, whatever you want to call it.
He shot a bloody laptop, what kind of state of mind do you think he is in. He is angry. That's quite obvious.
I only teach 5 year olds and when a few of them have used curse words, 90% of them say they heard their parents use them.
He didn't need to use curse words if he was that upset over her using them.
Re: Dad uses facebook to teach daughter a lesson
What she did was wrong but parents are supposed to be more mature than that.
Re: Dad uses facebook to teach daughter a lesson

Remember that one of the bullets was on behalf of her mother, cause mother asked. That girl has some violent parents
:D

**Exactly.
We can infer what kind of dad he may be given his actions towards the laptop alone, even allowing his body language.

I stopped watching as I saw that first bullet.
I am a known drama queen, but shooting something that didnt need shooting is quite disturbing. It only proves the lenghts he would go to when angry. Nothiing else. It doesnt teach his daughter not to use bad language or complain about doing chores.
