Hmm I've actually watched the video now and I must say that... everything was blown out of proportion. (BANG)

Tbh if your child is at that stage to begin with you failed as a parent quite some time ago. Uploading a video (with adds) and throwing your shit at the world doesn't really mesh with my way of thinking...

I have a sneaking suspicion that the video is simply designed to get him a reputation/views from flocks of youtubers; he's already got a fair few videos and this is the perfect boost.

Even supposing the video is completely valid there were better uses for that laptop.

Exactly. The failure lies with him. I would never say things like that about my parents, and I've had to do work HUNDREDS of times worse than anything that girl has ever had to put up with. I've helped CASTRATE PIGS. I've driven a tractor for 18 hours...straight. I ate meals that were driven to me while driving.It was 1 in the morning and snowing and I STILL kept on going.

And I would never criticize my parents. Why? Because there is nothing to criticize. They raised me SO WELL, that I realize that any complaint I could make would be petty and ridiculous.

Don't tell your kid what to do. Raise them to know without you telling them.

You guys are right, you should just let your children repeatedly slander you in public without repercussion.

I will say one thing, I can guarantee she will never pull that move again.

No because instead she will now start taking crack! for no apparent reason

Yes, because that's the logical next step for a child who has been humiliated.

I was been sarcastic, or trying to. Atleast this is terrible parenting and in no way is he setting an example.

Message perceived right now by child is; I am in a fight, I smash someone's shit. As a parent you've got to be above this drama. It's basic psychology. And seriously some comment on Facebook? Why the hell would you care as an adult man?

edit: Humiliated, I dare say she's not. This might just be evidence for her to her friends that her dad is weird and crazy.

Why does everyone always think a proper solution is always one of the extremes.

Extreme solutions are never the answer.

Moderation is always the best option. If you don't think that kid will be even more screwed up now your delusional.

That dad failed a long long time ago. The actions he did only illustrate that he never came to terms with that.

It amazes me that people complain how bad there kids behave and yet the parents never acknowledge that they are the problems.

Sometimes you get bad eggs and sometimes you are just an awful parent, so I won't defend the actions of one or the other, but it's hilarious nonetheless.

Indeed. Always observe and learn from other peoples failures.

I dont think burning clothes or shooting stuff is going to go far in parenting this kid, donate the laptop to a charity or give some new clothes away to a shelter. Just destorying stuff isn't doing any useful with it, other then making the parent feel good for about 5 mins then going why did i just burn or destory all that stuff i just bought face palm for self fail lol. If she got time to post stuff like that i'm sure there time for more chores and home work. I do also agree she should get her ass a job put the money into an account and dont let her touch it unless for clothes or stuff she needs and not just wants. It also looks like they have a fair amount of yard and grass, she can stomp her ass up and down the yard while she mowes it. I think the video posted to her wall by the dad was more for his benefit then hers, as the same could have been accomplished by telling her in person face to face.

Its only three pins to take off a door.

+10 internets to the fed up parent.
