In reply to the discussion: My 15 year old daughters reaction to "Laptop dad" [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)prior to them doing something stupid. this gives them something to think about. lesson learned thru anothers experience.
i did the same. i told them to watch. i stood back and watched faces. their father is an IT guy as we had a chuckle at thinking a kid could get that past a parent. my oldest really had a tough time with wipe ass comment, way to harsh. my youngest thought it excellent punishment. my oldest thought over the top putting it on facebook.
we had a discussion what happens to their computers if i find crap on it, and it isnt going to be a gun. just flying out the front door. has been clear to them for about four years now.
but, i appreciate another opportunity for my children to have a lesson at the expense of others.
neither kid took it as threatening to the daughter. or the father being out of control.
