Facebook Parenting - the .45 solution

[BSmack]

Thought this was pretty funny - though his claim of working in IT and spending $130 to upgrade the laptop sounds suspect

He's in the redneck IT department. He also wasted a perfectly good laptop. I would have wiped the thing and put it on Craigslist.

Gotta admire that dad's resolve to straighten out his daughter and get the message across in a big way. Like Sam, I'm not sure that would be my methodology.

But, you have to also worry about who or what he's going to put a bullet through if she ever dates a loser or becomes a hood rat. Be afraid girl....be very afraid! If I'm a teenage boy who saw that video...she would be the last girl I would ever date.

Upon further reflection, it dawns on me that this guy had access to his daughter's Facebook account. Seems to me that he could have had some serious fun with that account before dropping a few slugs into the laptop. He could have pranked her until she went fucking crazy.

Hmm. A petulant teenaged girl who spends too much time online, refuses to do even the most trivial chores without pitching a fit and thinks she's in charge of something...sounds familiar. Are they all working off of a script or what?

Teenagers suck ass. They should be nailed into barrels until their 19th birthday.

I think he's being too dramatic. Makes you wonder where his daughter get's it from? :uhh


Shoulda just broke it over her bitch head.

I feel your pain, mv. Lil miss smack is 20. Finally starting to realize she's not the center of the universe and actually has to work for shit.

Others with older daughters telling me to just hang in there, it'll get better is about the only thing that kept me from selling her to the albanian mafia, the last 8 years or so.

For you poor fukks out there with daughters just hitting puberty, I feel for you.

It didn't really come as any great surprise. It's still disconcerting, though. It's like a switch gets thrown and one day you look down and ask, "Who the fuck are you? And what have you done with my kid?"

Why? That an oblique comment on your parenting? Do they take after their "old man"?

Ponderous. Wait, no it isn't.

I've got three. They're great kids.

Sucks to be you.

[socal]

Pathetic.

I imagine when she doesn't come around after that fiasco he'll have to shoot her.

The good news is that if you're patient and have the balls to be a hard ass instead of your kid's 'best friend' you will be rewarded. My 20 year old daughter is becoming the person I knew she could be, but I'm an unrelenting prick and there's been some serious ass chewings along the way.

Posting a video of you crying about your daughter and then shooting a laptop you bought = Bode? Sounds like something a woman would do.

Wipe the hard drive and make your daughter donate to someone in need.

I finally gave in a few years ago and registered on Facebook for no other reason than my wife and daughter were on there and wifey was always commenting about stuff they were sharing. One day I saw something she posted and made some smartass remark about it. My phone rang about 5 minutes later - I was told "Dad, facebook is for kids, this is why I didn't want to be friends with you".

So I unfriended her and don't stick my nose in her personal life, ever. She's a great kid about ready to graduate in May with a masters degree in sports management. It was a joy watching her play sports while she was growing up. She never caused me one moment of grief... 'cept for that time she wrecked her car.

Wait...there's a time where they realize they're not the center of the universe?

[dingus]

I can't speak for all of them but yes it can happen. My daughter, doing well in college, paying for all her living expenses by working 30 plus hrs. per week, is seriously thinking about enlisting in the Air Force. She works on a base and has seen a whole different way of life and wants to be part of something bigger than herself. Pretty cool. Obviously, we've been talking for 20 plus years about what she wants to do with her life, but this is the thing that she has been passionate about and feeling like she can make a difference or be part of something that makes a difference.

[War Wagon]

people enlist in the military to avoid going to college or because they don't have the means. If she wants to join the Air Force, that's great. Tell her to try to get in the Air Force Academy and become an officer, not an enlisted puke.

[dingus]

Well, we've talked about that, but she wants to take on the challenge of SERE, she works out with them on the base, has been part of their underwater rescue simulation-she's been a swimmer, life guard, swim instructor and is very comfortable in the water. She's also talked to the SERE guys and one older gal who retired from the AF as on officer who went this route about career routes, opportunity, etc, so she's putting in her research before making a decision.

Or to start collecting a pension in their late 30's.

This guy is the biggest fucking moron! His daughter is going to be sucking dicks for cash in no time.
