Facebook Parenting: For the Troubled Teen

[Hoofbite]

Don't leave. We don't agree but I love the debate with ya. funny thing is we don't agree on anything at all except one thing. the Cowboys in almost ever discussion. And really, aint that the most important thing????

Well, I took a phone call and when I came back the thread looked completely different.

And you're right.

Cowboys are tops.

I think the saddest part of the whole video is the fact that he spent $130 on software and half the day upgrading the computer.

What kind of archaic system requires such a commitment?

He handled it poorly IMO. The root cause of the problem seems to be the daughter's resentment of her parents, and this will do NOTHING but cause that resentment to grow.

I get what he's trying to do, but embarrassing and backing a defient person into a corner only makes them more defient.

However, let me say this as well: I don't disagree with anything he said. His daughter sounds like an ungrateful, lazy, annoying you-know-what. I only disagree with the way he went about expressing his thoughts on the matter.

Since you have him in your avatar, I can see him in my prayers and God knows who he is. So try to stop me.

I am pretty sure this is against forum rules.

As an atheist, i actually agree with you about some of your points on parenting. I think kids are out of control and they shouldn’t have the freedom to use Facebook as a weapon.

I can't believe he wasted exploding shells on his daughter's laptop.

I'll reread them... but I don't think so...

Many on here offer prayers to sick relatives, deaths...

It's normally a gesture of kindness although the offending parties need to heed my warning or I will shut this thread down...

Ok, now that was my first thought.:laugh2:

It is a waste of money as since it is a Dell laptop, it will crash on its own in short order...

So what you are saying is that he did her a favor and put it out of it's misery. Now see, that's the kind and compassionate thing to do.

He has a long history of posting his religious propaganda. This forum is christian based, so i do understand the turning of the deaf ear to those type of offenses.

perhaps, but we are only getting his side,

I truly do pray for your son. honestly, I pray for a lot of people I don't know.

When having to choose between siding with a working adult or a fifteen year old girl, I'll take the adult and be right just about every single time.

Yep! I believe in ***** ******. And while the Name will be censored here I make no apology. But I like how it is now labeled propaganda. Another forum rule is not to make fun of or otherwise belittle ones beliefs.

blech. What do adults know? Though some do know an awful lot. like hw to parent a kid they never met and decide to pass judgement on a parent who actually knows the kid. But the child is always right.

Man some of these parents and parents in waiting have a lot to look forward to.

At the risk of derailing this thread even moreso, in what universe is saying you'll pray for someone "religious propaganda"? It's a kind gesture, only an incredibly arrogant, bitter individual would take their disbelief this far.

The way in which he used the phrase in this thread was condescending, but that is an entirely seperate issue.
