As a guy going into IT, I fear for my children. (If i have any)

The difference lies in the reaction of the people your talking about. Calling your parents crazy doesn't get bullets in your laptop saying the stuff in her rant does.

Depends on the parents, look at switching spouses, some lady went on a tangent because they weren't christian. Words are petty, her actions speak louder, that's what every adult should know.

What I was referring to was the laptop and other things she has like t.v mp3 player game system what have you, but aren't needs basically anything that isn't food or a place to stay clothes is debatable because they could just get a her a few outfits ad be done.

I wasn't contradicting the statement but you can't say "clothes food and shelter" as they are obligations. Once again she bought the laptop with her own money. HER.OWN.MONEY

Her rant was basically "I have to do all these things AND go to school its hard I'm always tired." If you had watched the vidoe the only chores she had to do were load and unload the dishwasher make her own bed and clean her own room and wash her own clothes. Your acting like the girl who is mad at the time isn't fluffing what she really has to do. The only real complaint in there is the cleaning the floors just to have someone with dirt on their shoes walk over it. I'm sure that just happened sometime before this I doubt cleaning the floors is one of her everyday chores. You really need to stop making baseless assumptions about people you really bad at it. The things I'm saying are more or less correct about her as I've been in her shoes and in some ways still am.

Okay but excuse me? You're trying to use my own argument against me because you can't come up with your own? It's YOU who needs to open his eyes as most of your points are completely baseless and using only the information the video presents. I'm looking a both perspectives. You know that word? PERSPECTIVE. As the daughter could "fluff" it up the father can just as much under value it. In fact YOUR assumption of the father's words being golden are absolutely ridiculous. For gods sake when he tried to list the chores he started with UM. That is a mannerism that pretty much says "oh well I'll make up the list". Have you seen the list? No? I haven't either but you know what I heard? "Your responsibility consists of getting on the bus for attendance". I know you're in college, I know you've been to high school, your responsibility is a lot more than attendance. His argument? "I DID THIS AND THAT AT MY AGE" which I'd like to say is even more retarded because times were so much more different back then where oppurtunities like that exist. Also this is an inexperience manuever of a parent.

And you don't know if he did talk to her extensively about it generally when you do get grounded you get one of those long ass lectures about why what you did was wrong and why you shouldn't be doing it. and just before you get off of said punishment you get another one to remind you of said reasons and the whole discussion thing. Only they know if they have had that discussion the guy seems reasonable enough I'm sure he did talk with her he just doesn't seem the type to ground and tell and scream at her to not do it again. but unless he tells us that its all just opinion.

But its you trying to argue opinions. Your entire argument is "he did talk with her previously therefore hes justified", yet you just contradicted yourself saying my argument is invalid because mine's an opinion? Do you see how you're just digging yourself deeper in this hole when you try to flip it. Based on his vocabulary, his mannerisms, and his daughters response, this isn't a discussion situation, its a demand, a threat, and an execution of threat. While your assumption is baseless my argument is backed up the information presented. It's an educated assessment.

You need to read the last edit on how he got it he DID NOT invade her privacy they have a facebook page for their dog which is on her friends list since it's hardly ever used she kinda forgot about it when he went to go post a picture of the dog on its page lo and behold there's the rant. just another reason why YOU DON'T POST pomegranate LIKE THAT ON FACEBOOK if she needs to talk to someone text talk on the phone or in person. I've ranted about my parents just as any teenagers does yet I don't have 7 bullets in my computer or have it thrown at the window or taken away.

You're still a teenager, clearly. It doesn't matter how he discovered it, he said he found it and attacked her for it. It's that simple. In today's age facebook is everything that the phone/im used to be. I don't understand the point as the only difference I see between you and her is that you didnt get caught?

That's the point of punishment to take away something you want she wants and in this day and age almost needs however they are blended if she needs to use a computer for school they have them at the school. oh and look at the poster above you even the girl herself isn't all that mad. She probably realizes how much that her her parents.

Oh my god are you this ignorant? I mean seriously? The point of punishment is to give repercussions to your actions so that you can take responsibility for what you did wrong. It teaches you to think things through and understand actions have impacts. As a growing kid which doesn't stop until you're 25, lessons like this have to be learned, but to to this extreme is pretty ridiculous.

The whole talking it out with your kids works sometimes not always. Seems it works for your family doesn't for all of em. So instead of looking down on it how about trying to understand it

It's you who doesn't understand anything I'm saying. I mean seriously it's talking to a wall at this point. The child doesn't deserve necessarily that treatment and justifing said treatment based on a single persons perspective is ignorant. Compare, contrast, and understand both parties. She probably doesn't care but he know's he overreacted and she knows he'll cool off after a month.
