EDIT! HOW is it okay to use a gun to destroy your daughter's stuff???? S/O of video.

EDIT: since clearly this attempt to prove a point is falling on deaf ears, I would love to hear answers to my new post:

Publicly?

What if there was a video where a husband, mad at his wife for something, took her computer out in the back yard and shot it? What if he then posted it on her facebook account, ranting about how unappreciative and rude she is, and saying that he is going to teach her a lesson?

I GUARANTEE that the majority of women on here would call him an abusive asshole, and tell her to leave him.

So why is it okay for someone to do that to his daughter? Why isn't anyone appalled at the threatening implications, and the abusive undertones?

(I am!)



EDIT: to all of those who don't seem to understand the point of talking about his wife. I NEVER said a child shouldn't be disciplined, nor did I say wives and children should be treated the same. The point I am apparently failing to make is that most of you would, I believe, consider it violent and abusive if he shot something of his wife's with a gun (not just "inappropriate").

I would have no problem if dad took the laptop away. I do have a problem with him using a violent and threatening weapon to destroy it.

Destroying someones property is a definate form of abuse and control.
Its extremely disrespectful

He bought the laptop. He warned her what would happen if she continued to be rude and ungrateful. He kept his word.

I bet she learned her lesson.

The dad is hot. =)

 

**I'm so glad people agree with me** Where's this man live? Is he married?? I sure hope not. hahahahah

[LectioDivina]

It's a bit psycho.

Um the bigger questions is why is his daughter acting like a spoiled brat.

The computer is his, he can do whatever he wants to it. You want to disrespect your parents publicly, then you better be able to handle what comes back. She is 16yo, knows how her parents work, which is why it was hidden from them.

The same reason you can put your kids in time out and not your wife.

What lesson do you think she learned?

[Tea4Tas]

She used that same computer (which he had just spent $130 on) to post a rude, and disrespectful note to her parents.  I would have sold the damned thing myself....

And of course it wouldn't be appropriate to do that to an ADULT whom you married. you aren't in charge of an Adults behavior. You ARE SUPPOSED to be in charge of your child's behavior!

[SouthernMomma09]

He told her what he'd do if she disrespected him on Facebook again (this isn't the first time, remember)

He had to follow through. Consistency is key to good parenting. You can't promise to do something and then flake on it.

I say good for him.

What if it was his wife, and he had bought her the laptop as a gift? Is it still okay?
