We had the dad shoots computer debate at work today. Amazing how many of my associates supported the dad. As soon as I finished watching, I said, What a douche! I sure the fuck don't support the daughter. She seems like a piece of work, but maybe, just maybe, her attitude is somehow connected to the man's job as her father. ...could be wrong.

My first thought when I viewed it was he was going to get a visit from Child Protective Services.
Originally posted by Tony G View PostHe did what he had to do. She had been grounded for 3 months before over a similar post about the rents on FB. She obviously hadn't learned the lesson. The escalation to her behavior cost her the laptop for good. Read his response posted above. He acted like an adult and gave his daughter a real world consequence to her actions.

"Yup, and I have taken things away from my kids that presented a problem but did not need to destroy it in order to make my point."
---------------As have I. I could never destroy something functional. I'm too much of a cheap ass. :-) The guy was a little melodramatic.GO LIONS "24" !!

I think her snotty attitude in referring to "the cleaning lady" might have really set him off. I looked at the guy's FB page and he seems to be successful so the cost of the laptop might not hurt him as much as many of us. He does seem to want to break his daughter of the "everything's provided for me, the world should just give me these things" kind of attitude.Benny Blades~"If you break down this team man for man, we have talent to compare with any team."

OK.....got it.
So......she acted like a baby and made it public and he is going to discorage this behavior by by acting like a baby and making it public. Awsome.....I'm sure she's going to take a lesson away from this.Last edited by mason reese; February 12, 2012, 07:35 AM."This is an empty signature.

Context is helpful. He had previously attempted to correct the behavior by removing the laptop for 3 months. Upon restoring the laptop she blocked her parents from her account and then resumed the behavior that got her in trouble.
The daughter seems to have taken much for granted. The father says on his FB page she lost 3 smart phones which he had replaced. It would be difficult to say she showed a level of care equal to appreciating what she has been given.
I will concede if his goal was to also embarrass his daughter he probably got her more sympathy among her friends.Benny Blades~"If you break down this team man for man, we have talent to compare with any team."
