For him to react in the way he did, she clearly deserved it. There is no overreacting, there's just different perceptions. He reacted in a way he sought fit, as he's had the experience of living and caring for her, for the past what was it? 15/16 years. None of you have insight into what she is like other than a few paragraphs of venting over facebook.
fair enough, serves her right for disrespecting her parents on the laptop that they brought her just to ***** about doing a few chores and expecting not to get some kind of repercussion.
The fact that his daughter actually ranted on Facebook twice is showing something imo, it's showing that her and her Dad don't have very much positive communications between each other because if she thought he was being unfair she could have just gone to him and spoken to him about him instead of ranting on Facebook. I can honestly say I have never ranted on Facebook about my parents (only about college cancelling lessons) but I know full well not to swear or be ungrateful towards them online as my mum can see it.
However, if I had ranted I would have been told off a lot and it would sink in, which brings me back to communication, maybe if they had a positive relationship before the whole Facebook fiasco started then the outcome may have been much different and it might have sunk in more.
She was 15, doing the dishes , making her own bed, making coffee now and again and cleaning up after herself is NOT difficult.Quote:

Ok so shooting it was a little far but she's 15! she needs to realise that she can't act like a little brat anymore

Wow, nice reaction, I'd probs done the same
Overreaction on both halves I think.. She was wrong but so was the Dad? He probably paid for the laptop so basically he's just shot God know's how much of his own money? Smart..
Had a bit of a giggle at the video though ;) thanks
Why has the moderator moved it from the correct section to an incorrect section? Pipe down
i think everything that her father said was totally true and really proved a point. she just sounds like an ungrateful little brat who doesn't deserve what she has. however, shooting the laptop might have been a bit too far, confiscating it for a while might have done better or taking it away completely rather than destroying it. it was his choice though and i'm sure she's learned her lesson, she kind of deserved it.
I agree with you. I didn't do half of what she did when I was a child and I read some of my diary entries of when I was a kid and there was a good few complaints about how unfair my life was. haha I do agree that she should be thankful that she has a roof over her head and the maid comment did sound bratty but that manlooks like an absolute wackjob and it is no wonder she has reacted the way she did. Makes me thankful that I have such amazing parents and not someone like him.Quote:
