(163,986 posts)To me it would have made more sense to take duct tape and wrap it up and show it to her," said Winget, the tough talking author of "Your Kids are Your Own Fault" and "You're Broke Because You Want to Be." "And I would say look at what you can't have. In some ways it is meaner that way. The fact that it is absolutely gone, it's gone. But wrapping it up in duct tape and not letting her have it is meaner, and a stronger punishment."
But Winget said that the biggest mistake Jordan made was taking a private matter of parenting and making it public.
"I don't believe that you teach a lesson through humiliating and embarrassing your teenager," he said. "He should be ashamed for reducing himself to her level. He looks childish, he looks ridiculous and don't go on YouTube when you've got a cigarette hanging out of your mouth and preach to me."

And on Sunday, Jordan outed himself on his Facebook page, as a right wing nutcase, against big government and for "religious liberty", lol, and endorsing Ron Paul -- that paragon of relational responsibility. What a loser.
