I also get the feeling they will be chatting among themselves how will it affect them once other parents view the video. It will be an eye opener for most parents. And maybe they will have the balls not to shoot their laptops but to actually do what they say. I have given my kids so many warnings. They are good for a couple of days and Bang back to their old selves.
I have great kids but this generation has the lazy attitude in them. Is it the internet and social media or just us who worked hard to get what we are and have and want to make it easier on them.

Good for him. Shame is that she probably updates from a computer at school.
She must be stupid to think that her dad wouldn't find out.
An ex of mine posted some nasty shit about me on her page months ago and she called me today to find out how I was doing.
I read what she wrote and asked her to never call me again.
Wimins are stupid sometimes.

Kudos to her Dad for his video. He really made some valid points. I understand that he was pissed off, but I disagree with him shooting her Laptop though. To me, that was childish behaviour. He could have given it away or sold it.

I agree if everything he said and the way he stated it is true but we are hearing only his side as her letter was her side. He shot up her computer, doing so I think will only en-still more rage in his daughter. I would think confronting her with it and discussing it like adults with a reasonable punishment to follow would have been better. Maybe my response has more to do with me having two wonderful children and I would be more heart broken than angry if I were to ever see such a negative letter posted on FB about me.

I think you pretty much summed it up with your one little sentence!

I dunno about that. How many teens do you know that bitch and moan about doing a little work around the house? (probably thousands) How many do you know that bitch and moan about their parents to their friends? (probably millions) How many teens do you know that don't appreciate the things their parents do for them? (probably millions). How many parents do you know that do something about it? (probably hundreds). Back in the 80's I dated this chick who had 2 sisters and a brother. All within a year or two of each other (in other words all college age). They all lived at home, all were having college paid by the parents, none paid room or board.
I was over for family dinner once or twice a week and they were SO unappreciative of what their parents did for them, they made a schedule on the wall as to who had to wash, and who had to dry. Every fricken meal was an argument about whose turn it was to wash and whose turn it was to dry. I finally had enough one day of all the bickering. I stood up and said: you ungrateful snots. Whenever I'm here I'll wash and if you twits can't decide who is going to dry, I'll dry them too. That's the LEAST I can do for the great meal your mom made for me....With that I sat down, the dad looked at me and shook my hand lol....
Why I think his response was appropriate:
1) She posted the letter on facebook, he posted his response of facebook
2) She went ovecommunity with her complaints, he went ovecommunity with his response.
Now sure, maybe the PC correct nicey nicey way of handling the situation was talking to her like an adult, maybe he's tried that and it didn't work? I mean, a really good indicator is barring her from going on facebook and then what does she do? Not only goes on facebook but goes on facebook with a scathing letter like this......
Sure, you could say shooting the laptop was overkill, but it was more of a show of how much disrespect the teen showed the parents. Kind of appropriate response I'd say. There's a saying: every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
I specially liked it when the dad said "oh yeah, your mother asked me to put one in it for her BANG there is it" lol......
Yup, one fucked up household.
She went public with her bitching and that was wrong.
He responded going public with his response and that was wrong. The gun thing is totally fucked.
How did she get disrespectful...she was allowed to. I doubt this is something that all of a sudden happened one day. How many times on here have people bitched about parents not teaching their kids respect.
One rule to follow, praise in public, discipline in private. Yeah she went public first. So his response to go public is no better than that of a 15 year girl.

I think you will see a Dr. Phil type claiming the shooting of the lap top was a disguised threat to his daughter, in other words the laptop represents the daughter. I think eventually someone will make that leap and the father will be put through the ringer unless this was shot in Texas.

Hmmm have you never heard of an "object lesson"? Whereby you do something to demonstrate the severity of a situation? I tell you it works and I bet that 15 yr old won't soon forget the time she pissed off her father to the nth degree and he blew away her laptop.....
Let me ask, seriously, are you the type that thinks sitting down and talking to your troubled teen will solve all the problems? I believe in talking, but there comes a point where, if that's all you do, the kid will end up on top of a tower with a rifle or in the back of the coroner's wagon.....

I don't know if it a fucked up household or not, and I don't think that the girl has done anything millions of other children haven't done as well. I know there were times I did not respect what my parents did for me, but I understand it now that I'm older. As for the father shooting the computer... Dramatic effect. He could have run it over with his truck, thrown it in the garbage or donated it to charity... This was for the effect of it.
On a bright side, I have a feeling when the kids at school see this, the young ladies dates will show her a bit of respect, at least when they meet dad.

I dunno about her having any dates...she's grounded until college lol......
BTW: thanks player, I could remember the term used to describe the shooting "dramatic effect" is the one I was looking for.....
