i just showed my wife this video and we both agree with the dad in what he said. do we agree with his actions on shooting the laptop, no only because he could of taken the hard drive out and destroyed it put a new hard drive in it and sell it. We both agree that its time for these kids today to get beatings to get punished! I grew up in a house hold if you did something so wrong that a punishment was to little then yes a beating was in order. we are not talking about abusing our kids but letting them know there is a wrong and a right and if you do wrong there is more then punishment to come. My daughter is 2 and half years old right now and starting to see wrong and right and the other day i was sitting with her and she got upset and she slapped me in the face! i grabbed her hand and slapped it and told her what she did was extremely wrong not only did she get punished for the night before she went to sleep she came to me and said i am sorry daddy! will so do it again? i highly doubt it! that is what i mean by a beating! i am not talking about whips and chains black and blues broken teeth and have to be in a hospital. My wife is a teacher and she teaches 5 year olds and the amount of disrespect she gets and the stories she tells me about 5 year old kids saying f this f that and how they are level 60 in call of duty! where are the parents? who is letting these kids act like that? and why? i know in my house my kids will NEVER act that way and if they do it behind my back they will pay for it! i dont think i would react the same way as this father but i can tell you my parents did it with me! i learned my lessons in life and i am a better man today! my wife grew up the same way and from what her parent told me it only took her one beating and she never wanted that to happen again, she followed all the rules laid before her and her siblings and look how she has turned out! I work in a high school and the kids here are totally off the chain. 95% of them need to be treated the same way this dad is treating or about to treat his child. I say good for him! and i hope more parents stand up and take charge of what kids are doing. maybe the world would be a better place. And Mrs Grumpy i totally agree with you 70s and 80s kids something happened to them. They got soft they didnt realize that a beating and a punishment like that did for them and they went soft on there kids. Now the world has no discipline and they think that they have it hard! I can go on because i have a lot to say about this topic. i am not looking to fight with anyone on here but in the best words ever said
