(i have teenagers)

i figured i wouldnt be outraged like others were. really, i LOVED the guy.

i can see me all over what that guy was doing. lol. when he was reading the letter, i thought, she does ALL that? really? geez. my kids dont. talking about getting a job. i hear him... i really hear him thru all of it. not thrilled with the gun thing, cause i dont like guns. but, if i was not so old, i can see me jumping on the thing. actually, i tell kids if i find ANYTHING i dont like on the puter (i have been telling them about 4 years now), i would yank everything out of wall and literally throw it out of the house. i would. they know i would. they know there is no privacy. lol. and their dad..... is an IT guy, lol.

i loved it.

am i going to be in trouble? i havent read how the other thread on judging parents have gone.

Almost all of them push those lines. HuckleB Feb 2012 #59

Yes, it is. HuckleB Feb 2012 #66

no, it isnt. and the child was told repeatedly what was allowed in the use of facebook seabeyond Feb 2012 #70

That's his claim. HuckleB Feb 2012 #73

Exactly. Nobody knows the reality. nt riderinthestorm Feb 2012 #78

oh, whatever. people are flippin with what they saw, taking it at face value. if it is all a lie seabeyond Feb 2012 #81

You can't judge a guy for parenting by youtube? HuckleB Feb 2012 #58

Nope. We do not have enough information. riderinthestorm Feb 2012 #68

Pure hogwash. HuckleB Feb 2012 #71

So you think parenting by youtube is ok? HuckleB Feb 2012 #56

oh bull.... firstly, it went onto the face book to go back to the kids friends and possibly seabeyond Feb 2012 #62

That's whole load of justification for something that is sick at its best. HuckleB Feb 2012 #64

bullshit. it is a whole lot of parenting that most parents dont take the time to do seabeyond Feb 2012 #67

Way to try to distract from your support for this sick parent. HuckleB Feb 2012 #69

i dont think so. i think the video was only the beginning. far beyond the lazy parent seabeyond Feb 2012 #72

If posting a video on youtube isn't indicative of bad parenting, then we're all in big trouble. HuckleB Feb 2012 #74

parenting.... i had both my boys watch the video. then we had a discussion about the video seabeyond Feb 2012 #79

this is as i suspected, just the girl seems less bratty to me now. nt arely staircase Feb 2012 #13

Hogwash. HuckleB Feb 2012 #5

I find it amazing that so many people see so many different things in this story. Brickbat Feb 2012 #7

I suspect the main differentiator is whether you're a parent or not. lumberjack_jeff Feb 2012 #14

I raised four girls LadyHawkAZ Feb 2012 #16

Exactly!!! HuckleB Feb 2012 #19

Are you serious? HuckleB Feb 2012 #18

Are you talking to me? lumberjack_jeff Feb 2012 #23

If that's not what you're saying, then clarify it. HuckleB Feb 2012 #32

In other words, my assumption was correct. HuckleB Feb 2012 #42

I guess straw-man is the only language that some people are fluent in. n/t lumberjack_jeff Feb 2012 #85

Really? HuckleB Feb 2012 #98

Enjoy your break. lumberjack_jeff Feb 2012 #101

Yeah, I think that's one, but not the only one. People see what they want to see, I guess. Brickbat Feb 2012 #20

You mean, we see a guy who clearly wants attention, posting a ridiculous video on youtube? HuckleB Feb 2012 #21

That's what you see. Brickbat Feb 2012 #24

That's what I saw when I saw the video. HuckleB Feb 2012 #31

That's not what I saw when I saw the video. Brickbat Feb 2012 #35

That's quite sad. HuckleB Feb 2012 #41

No need to be sad. Brickbat Feb 2012 #46

Lucky kids. HuckleB Feb 2012 #49

"Or so you say." Brickbat Feb 2012 #52

Well, everyone is going by what this dufus dad says. HuckleB Feb 2012 #53

"Try again"? To do what? Convince you I'm a good parent? Convince you that the dad in the video Brickbat Feb 2012 #61

If you think this guy is ok, well... HuckleB Feb 2012 #63

Back at square one. Brickbat Feb 2012 #80

I raised a teen and never once found it necessary to execute her possessions. Fumesucker Feb 2012 #25

Very few people will emulate what he did. lumberjack_jeff Feb 2012 #29

There's frustration and then there's acting like a jackass.. Fumesucker Feb 2012 #36

Better yet, ask your dad to watch the video. lumberjack_jeff Feb 2012 #38

Wow! HuckleB Feb 2012 #43

Sure it is. lumberjack_jeff Feb 2012 #83

And the guy's kid. HuckleB Feb 2012 #93

I tried to send you a PM but it bounced back. Sorry, I should have asked first. nt riderinthestorm Feb 2012 #94

If it bounced back, it's likely your own fingers causing the problem. HuckleB Feb 2012 #97

Oh, okay. I'll try again. My story IS the real world. riderinthestorm Feb 2012 #99

Half the parents I know think it was funny hack89 Feb 2012 #104

I think it depends on if you were raised in a family with unreal expectations OKNancy Feb 2012 #26

Gosh, thanks for the generalization Missy Vixen Feb 2012 #30

we don't know much about this family, if the guy was a true abusive type JI7 Feb 2012 #22

Abusive types will brag to anyone who will listen LadyHawkAZ Feb 2012 #88

Yes. They learn to cover their tracks AND to get mileage out of their abusiveness. EFerrari Feb 2012 #91

He is an abusive violent asshole who is manipulating the situation EFerrari Feb 2012 #27

the more I read of this guy's FB posts, the more I think Terra Alta Feb 2012 #39

Here is one of four pictures from his facebook page. Swede Feb 2012 #40

I'm shocked. HuckleB Feb 2012 #44

You know, I asked on one of the other threads about whether he just likes to shoot shit riderinthestorm Feb 2012 #47

So? Upton Feb 2012 #55

Is the fact that he thinks posting a video on youtube because his daughter badmouthed him ... HuckleB Feb 2012 #60

it's that he shows his kids it's okay to use a gun to destroy something Terra Alta Feb 2012 #76

if he'd *really* wanted to make a point he'd have given it to one of her friends Occulus Feb 2012 #89

It's the belt buckle that gives it away - good catch. nt hack89 Feb 2012 #105

All right. I give up. HuckleB Feb 2012 #77

Good Riddance. We need fewer people who jump to conclusions based on flimsy info. TalkingDog Feb 2012 #87

The info is NOT flimsy. 2ndAmForComputers Feb 2012 #90

My judgment is clouded by having lived with a violent, manipulative husband EFerrari Feb 2012 #92

I am sooo sorry EFerrari! I completely understand where you are coming from riderinthestorm Feb 2012 #95

Good. I didn't think what he'd done was bad. Hey, bad is when your dad beats the crap out of you. Honeycombe8 Feb 2012 #82

I just thought it was funny. She needed taught, and Dad took her to school. TheManInTheMac Feb 2012 #96
