A man in North Carolina (Las Vegas) taught his 15 year old daughter what we may call a lesson in tough love when he unloaded his pistol into the girls’ laptop after she posted a lengthy critique of her parents on Facebook. To top it all off, he videotaped the shooting and put the video on her Facebook page.
What do you think of the father’s solution? Was he being too harsh? Just right? Or maybe he didn’t go far enough?

The father also explained that his daughter had previously been grounded for writing a similar post on Facebook, and that he found the most recent post while repairing her laptop. “I would have thought with a father that worked in IT for a living, you’d have better sense than to do it again,” he said. “Since you want to hide it from everyone, I’m going to share it with everybody”
In the expletive- filled post, the daughter happens to rail against her parents for making her do chores, accusing them of threatening her like a “slave” and demanding she be paid for all the work she does around the house. Pay her? Seriously? For chores that she is actually supposed to be doing in the first place.
Should parents pay their kids to help around the house or is it regarded as our responsibility to be able to help with chores such as cooking, and keeping the house clean?
Not only can a simple Facebook page ruin the relationship that we have with our families but it can also destroy our careers as well. Be careful on what you post on Facebook, you may never know when your dark day is going to haunt you.
Yes that is very true. Sometimes we make the mistake of just writing whatever comes to our minds and we never really worry about the consequences. It makes you rethink what you type sometimes.
ReplyDeletepity we realise too late that we have made a mistake
DeleteIt is very important to what you post on facebook you must be aware what you post because other issues are very critical..
ReplyDeletethe consequences may not be too good
DeleteYou are spoiling a child if you pay him/her to do chores the other thing is that parents must controll their child's social networks usage to prevent them accessing pornography materials.
ReplyDeleteit goes without asking..... no child should be paid to do chores in the house simply because it is their responsiblity to do so
DeleteMaybe people just don't understand what facebook was made for
ReplyDeleteor maybe they are just ignorant
DeleteDISAGREE!!
ReplyDeleteA few years back there was an article in the YOU magazine which stated that children may soon have to be paid ofr their labour. Besides the legislative push that WAS aiming for this,
paying the child for housework will motivate him to do more.
It will ACTIVELY SHOW the child that in order to GET you must GIVE.
An allowance is an allowance for being a good little child and doing what mami says.
