Good for him. Its ridiculous what Kids think they can get away with now-a-days and how disrespectful they are. If i EVER did ANYTHING like this growing up, I would have had my *** beat into next week. I commend the few parents who actually "regulate" what their kids do to a certain extent, and punishment for when they are out of line.

I like how he listed the chores, and how the chores took a total of like 20 minutes and she expects to be paid for it... lol, it's called discipline.
There are many teens like this, and that's why our society has changed from a "I work hard" to "I deserve this" ideal. Which of course is part of the Occupy movement.
As for a teen being pissed at parents, that's a normal thing when they hit middle/high school age, they try to make their own limits and are exploring. So I could understand how the daughter posted something because she was mad about it. They are immature and don't understand the things parents try to instill in them. Parents are parents, they aren't your friends, or teacher, or anything else. It's their job to make sure you're brought up right. They CAN be your friend/teacher/coach/etc. but that comes with maturity. Even when I thought back to my high school days I do remember some times I'd get into arguments with parents, but I never publicly (no FB back then) try to deface them. Sure I'd complain about them to my friends, that's a normal thing, to just vent it out. But now with all these social sites, it can get you in a lot more trouble real fast. Just take a look at the instant twitter sports players say that get them in trouble.
Now that I'm older, I'm thankful to have had parents who work hard and shown me that I need to work hard. I understand why they had arguments about what I did, and I understand when I got whipped. I do acknowledge I deserved that for my behavior.
Do I believe he should have shot the laptop? Probably not, all kids get mad at parents at one point or another, it's part of growing up. But I do believe kids can grow up without FB and be just fine.

Was his kid out of line. Absolutely. But as adults, we need to be positive role models. Putting 8 bullets in a laptop as punishment is childish. You don't set a positive image for your daughter or anyone else.
As for punishing his daughter, I am all for it, but have some restraint.
If I were him, I would be not only furious at her, but at myself for being such a ****ty parent. No offense or anything, but she either learned it somewhere at some point. You dropped the ball somewhere in your kid's upbringing.

At 15/16 she's more influenced by her idiot friends. She's a whiny b**** because her friends are too. He's being proactive instead of being a spineless sap like most parents today.

) and wanting to rebel as a solution to all these problems. If your child wants to be that way there really is NOTHING you can do as a parent to stop them short of sending them away, or kicking them out. period.-Volk
