Father teaches daughter a real good lesson OWNED

[Altitude]

Your points are well taken PK. I would suggest that parents have a far greater role and much larger influence over their children than the rest of society. Yes, the message kids get these days is not one we should be teaching them, but I think strong parenting skills can overcome all of that.

Clearly you weren't raised as a spoiled child, and neither was I. I think our parents deserve credit for doing a good job of parenting in light of social pressures etc.

But back on this guy's reaction. It's unfortunate that now there will be more people - the one's that praise him for it or refuse to call him out on it - that consider it appropriate and will do similar things. I guess that's why I condemn it, because it just sets yet another bad example for others to follow.

I will tell you that I am envious of my parents. I grew up through the 80s and very early 90s. Raising today's youth in the digital age holds SO many more challenges. Not to say they had it easy, but even they tell me that they would hate to be raising kids today.
