Parents punish daughter by posting this photo on her Facebook wall

The friend who said this kid has awesome parents is correct.

This is creative and, although the teenager is most likely moritified, she will live through it without any scars, I'm sure.

Dad not so much.

I can see why the daughter has a problem learning that.

It says to me: clueless, immature, and disrespectful. What could go wrong with that?

The parents don't seem to be beyond the teen years themselves.

but these people appear to be bullies. Such juvenile behavior reflects badly on their parenting skills.


Yes, the pics are funny. But not as a parenting trick. I'm betting that the daughters behavior exactly reflects their disrespect that they show her.

They're kids are the ones that do whatever they want, disrespect teachers, and think that the world must cater to them and their delicate sensibilities.

What the parents did was hilarious... People need to stop coddling their precious snowflakes and just parent.

You want to punish? Keep it inside the home.

While this was friggin' HI-LARIOUS to you, it was a death sentence to the girl's self confidence with her peers. They're probably pointing and laughing at her ALL DAY.

YES, some kids are self-absorbed. And YES, some are not used to being criticized.

But for God's sake, keep it private where they can at least maintain a SEMBLANCE of normality in their everyday lives.

Don't hit people or I'll hit you.
Don't yell and scream at me you little fucker.

I don't get the point. It just seems silly.

the son says she got "fresh with their parents". so she probably talked back or got some attitude. nothing too big .

if they did this in response to her doing something like hurting someone else then it would be a problem.

And not in a good way. Very sophomoric.

No matter what he did or didn't do, I gave him the same respect that I felt I deserved.

Kids say things they shouldn't, and they make mistakes, but as a parent you have to have their back.

It's a trust factor. That through thick or thin, you are there unconditionally.

Grounding her from her phone was good. Posting on Facebook was cruel. Her brother is a jerk.

Means absolutely nothing... Bumper sticker platitude.

Assuming I did not make a funny looking corpse.

she'd have. The photoshops alone would probably make even me giggle if I were those parents.

Pretty stupid lesson. Not sure what the point was but I'll take my laughs today any way I can get em

her facebook friends got a kick out of it.

maybe with a sign saying she is being punished or something like that.

but i have no problem with this.

And you know what?? She is a 21 year old girl who is thoughtful and kind, and will vote for Obama in two weeks. She tells me that I did something right, and that kind of thing is exactly what I would have done. love it. Better than the guy that shot his daughter's computer.

It's their only responsibility.

Parents couldn't embarrass you like that. There are so many ways today to mortify your children.

within 5 feet of your teenager is enough to mortify them.

When my daughter acted like a turkey and misused her electronics, didn't do homework and started down the wrong path, I went all Amish on her. We really laugh about that now but she swears that was the roughest thing I ever did to her. She said she wish I had spanked her and got it over with. There was no electricity, no electronics so homework was done while there was light and since there was nothing else to do-she went to bed. If she was good, I let her read a bit by candle. I told her that she needed to let her natural inner beauty shine through so no makeup, no jewelry, plain clothing, plain hair.

It lasted 2 weeks and I was at the end of my rope with her. It really shocked her and she had lots of time for reflection. I think that was the most desperate I ever got with her. I gave her a compass for Christmas that year-told her I never wanted her to lose her bearings again.

She grew into a great person, but those teen age years were tough.

I was disciplined with a bamboo switch until my legs bled. I think this is better.

if you are a parent of a teenager, have you never "embarrassed" them....I know that I have. A kiss in public, singing in public, linking arms in public....yes, I have gotten in trouble for all of those things, and yes, I did it on purpose. My mom would kiss me on the lips when I was in high school and link arms with me while walking in the mall...I was mortified. I came out OK. I tease my kids....I have to admit, it's hard for my daughter to be too mad at me giving her a hug when her friends do it to me, but she still likes to carry on. My daughter doesn't feel like I'm bullying her and I do back off if she's not in a good mood.

Sometimes having fun with your kids, even while they are in trouble, is not a bad thing. I have a feeling if I did that my kids would laugh their butt off....actually, I know they would, because they are always trying to do stupid things to me
