Father teaches daughter a lesson about facebook...

[PassingFair]

57. I was a HUGE trash-talker as a teen...

I have had a situation like this come up recently with my youngest daughter.

She wrote a small screed about how much I didn't TRUST her
(I didn't agree that she should plan to stay over night at a
party, thrown by some BOY she didn't even know). It was a
silly request on her part, but she had backed herself into a
corner with her friends because she had been bragging about
how I was going to let her "party all night". I am NOT a strict
parent because she has never given me a reason to be. She
follows all edicts and is always home when I tell her to be.
She thought that she would get permission for this folly because
I hardly ever say NO to her.

The reason I hardly ever say NO to her is that her requests are,
for the most part, REASONABLE.

Anyway.....I denied her the "all night party" which, by the way,
never became an ISSUE because she wasn't allowed INTO the
party...and she wrote about it on her tumblr, which I happened to see.

I told her that I didn't appreciate her "publishing" her story and
creating drama, especially since she was being her normal, loving
self around me. I asked her if she was faking anger on line, or faking
loving behavior in real life.

We had a good talk about it, which ended up with her taking the tumblr
down, in protest of my "stalking".

I agree that kids need to blow off steam. It's hard to not get what you
want. I just don't think it's a good idea to publish the rant under your
own name, for all to see and not expect to get called on it.

This father is obviously a dick.
