There are many families with great parents and great kids and also a kid that's evil. Not merely bad - evil.
It happens. You can theorize all you want, take sides of how families somehow are, how children somehow are, but it's a reality of families than parents merely influence their children - but not all of the time and to the same degree.
After listening to the guy deconstruct the little entitled one's description of her life, the fact that she'd done this before and he tried for a calmer measure in parenting when it happened the last time, I stand by his right to get thru to his kid however he saw fit. He's not some dumb cracker, he's a guy when younger had two jobs, while putting himself through school and being a firefighter - you know - a regular hero. And he seems to have his own business and that housekeeper - sounded like someone with self-respect wanting to work off a debt.
If his violent act of murder of a defenseless laptop with a handgun turns his daughter around, then he was right.
It was his call, he made it, and he knew how it was taking the family conflict to a higher level - he was very clear about it - and he's forcing all of those issues into the open.
I hope he succeeds, his daughter sounds like a piece of work. And if he fails, and I end up having to listen to her entitled butt some day, I won't be blaming the dad, looks to me like he's sparing no expense and pulling no stops so we get another functional member of society instead of another cow.
I answered, 'Yes Sir and Ma'am' when an adult talked to. I never interrupt when an adult is talking unless I am spoken to and given permission to speak. I was taught to never talked back to an adult. My room is always cleaned. I do well in school. I pray that when I have kids...he/she will be just like me. Think that's possible? lol
Whatever happened to shows like
