Parent dealing with troubled teens facebook rant

[TheObsoleteMan]

back in my day, we played dodgeball...with the real dodgeballs, not those pansy assed soft ones they make now

I remember during one recess, we were watching some kids playing dodgball with those hard rubber balls. One girl took one to the head so hard, it drove her head into the brick wall behind her, and it opened up like an overripe melon. Blood everywhere.

Thank you. Dodgeball is what I meant. It has been so long I forgot.

You aren't supposed to aim for the head, and it sounds like they were playing too close to the wall. If someone got hit in the head that hard with a softball, it would have been just as bad. It sounds like people were aiming for the head. That is the fault of the players, and not the game. Also, we always played with the soft big red balls, which is I think what should be used. It should be about keeping them fast on their feet, and dodging. It doesn't need to hurt. You just need to feel it.

Oh man, dodgeball was a bloodthirsty affair at that school. Not only would people aim for the head, but they would leave the ball just slightly deflated so you could sort of grip it with a pinch and get an unholy amount of speed on a throw. When you got hit, it would echo through the gym. As you might imagine though, dodgball on school grounds disappeared completely after that incident.

The first guy and the third guy made the mistake of putting their fingers inside the trigger guard when drawing their weapons, and accidentally put pressure on the triggers as they lifted them out of the holsters. You can do that with a single action revolver with the hammer already down, but if you try it with a double action weapon, one with the hammer cocked, or an automatic with a round in the chamber, you are asking for trouble. Neither one of those guys seems very intelligent, based upon their speech.
The DEA agent forgot one of the most basic rules of handling a firearm, which is to always handle it as if it were loaded and ready to fire. I suppose we can be thankful he only shot himself in the foot, and no one else there. You could see and hear the unrest in the audience when he continued his speech after he shot himself. If he actually got his hands on that carbine, I'm sure at least half of the audience would have made for the door.

The dad of this girl was stupid in how he handled this. If he wanted the computer to be gone, he should have just sold the computer, and gotten some money for it, instead of throwing money away by destroying it. It would have gotten his point across just as well, the computer would be gone, and he would have saved himself some ammo, too, and not had to clean his gun after. *******.
Incidentally, the child has no self control, and it seems the parent doesn't, either. It seems the apple doesn't fall that far from the tree, after all.
Just noticed he was a smoker lecturing his daughter about common sense when people have known cigarettes cause cancer since 1964. Way to go on that good example of common sense he has set for her all these years.

Also, he doesn't have the right to destroy her property to make his point. She could sue him for the cost of her computer. Now that he made a video of it and admitted he was destroying her computer, she has the ammo.

If this guy will use his .45 to destroy his daughter's computer because of things she said with it, what else is he capable of? A man who lacks self control and owns a .45. Hmm...


If he had been there to raise her when she was growing up and given her proper guidance she would never have turned out like this. He has himself to blame for how she turned out. Interesting that she has a mother and a stepmother, too. Apparently his judgment in women and his people skills have been lacking. So he tells his daughter what to do by giving orders and expecting her to follow them. Something tells me he hasn't been around enough when she was growing up to create an emotional bond compelling enough to make her WANT to do as he asks. His daughter's behavior is proof of his failure as a father. She is her father's daughter.

To the first, if he paid for it, and gave it to her as a gift to keep, then it is dishonorable for him to take it away, because it makes him not a man of his word. If he gave it to her to USE, or borrow, then he can take it away and sell it, without losing face. In any case, it is dumb to destroy it when you can sell it. Furthermore, what does taking away the computer have to do with he using it to rant on facebook? She can always find another computer to use, be it a friend's or at the public library. Sure, it will make it less convenient for her to rant, but it will be more counterproductive to her school performance, which the parent ostensibly cares about. Maybe he doesn't.
He said that he upgraded it for her for school, and you would think he wants her to do well in school, and yet he destroys it. Nonsense.

As to the second, this guy carries himself with a chip on his shoulder and is not very compassionate. If someone who comes across like him asks you to do things on a regular basis, you would get tired of it. On the other hand, if someone who came across like Mr. Rogers asked you to do something on a regular basis, you would WANT to do it.
Ive seen people who have raised children exceptionally well and the reason is that they are close with their children.

This man has the personality of a male _____, and no one likes doing things for a _____. People DO like doing things for nice, considerate people. Sure, he might buy her things and do physical things for her, but his personality is anything but sweet. Nice caring parents who are poor get more obedience and respect from their children than parents who are bossy and aggressive and insensitive, rough around the edges and rich enough to buy them whatever they want.
That's just the way it is.

As far as 80% being on their second wife, it's because 80% aren't capable of picking the right mate for themselves. They don't know themselves well enough, they base the attraction on superficial things in common instead of on their deeper natures. They might think, their deeper natures, isn't that a bit ridiculous or out there? Well, these same people who say that are the ones who get divorced.

People are who they are and they don't change much deep down in their entire lives. For this reason, to have a good relationship, you must be with someone who has your same values even when they are stressed, ect, and lose self control. Needing self control means controlling your personality to be what it is not, just to be with the other person, because you find them interesting or stimulating. That is a mistake. You must be with someone you can live with and like it first and foremost, more important than spark.

Spark at the ignorance of really getting along leads to fizzling out and getting divorced. People can be on their best behavior when courting, because they fear being alone, and would rather be with someone so they are not alone than make being only with the right person their first priority, BEFORE they have children with them.

In this man's case , he strikes me as someone who has not spent much time with his children to guide them. Maybe he works too much. If you aren't around enough with your children, even if it is to work and make sacrifices, ect, you will not create a solid bond with your children, depending upon their personality, they will react to this non involvement on the parent's part in their own way. It's human nature. Human nature isn't going to change because you have to work. It isn't going to change if both parents have to work, either.

The fact is that for all of human history up until a c few hundred years ago, parents were totally responsible for raising their children, and the fact that they were the main influence was instrumental in this. It is why children used to be more obedient and respectful.

Parents used to teach their children, then public school was invented.
Having one parent work and one at home was the norm, and now most parents work. Parents used to be the main influence on their children, and then it was reduced by radio, and more by TV, where children could see people who were far more glamorous and successful than their parents on a regular basis. It makes it increasingly difficult to be the number one influence in your child's life. You need to spend more time with them and influence them more than TV and the internet and their ability to use their cell phones at the drop of a hat to be influenced by other people when you are not looking.
Human nature isn't going to change and it isn't going to be more resilient to compensate for technology. It is what it is, and always will be.

It is true that MOST parents don't spend enough time influencing their children in a positive way nowadays. Maybe not enough time? Too bad. They won't turn out right if you don't, because that's human nature.
There are some personality types who cause less trouble than others when given less guidance, because they are less creative, less dynamic, and less innovative.

Some people like to forge their own path, which is great, so long as they are positively influenced enough to innovate in a positive direction. Less ambitious people, less creative children who have less to say, are less impactful obviously aren't going to rock the boat, because they don't rock it much at all, even in a positive way, because they aren't innovators.
Some people confuse the stupid child with being the nice obedient child. They just might be too dumb to question everything, OR, have no desire to make a statement of any magnitude, and would rather be more conformist.

The most talented people tend to be the most volatile.
The least talented people are the most content to be told what to do, because they lack the ability to have really original ideas.
More talent- more originality-more own thoughts-more do what they want- more independence, less interest in doing what others want done- less obedience-more volatile.
Example- the singer, Pink. Tremendous creativity and talent, and thus she wants to do what she wanted to do, and didn't care for school, for example. Seeing the parents in the interview, it was clear that these people did not much discussion with her, other than do this or do that.

These people need to channel their energy in a positive way, in a way they like and that others at least don't object to.
How often to parents talk to their children to ask how THEY relate to a situation, and ask what they think, and have a real dialogue, as if they actually care about their children's thoughts and feelings. My sense is most parents don't, even fewer do it often.
It is easy to get a dumber person to obey you, but a smarter person must be convinced, charmed or inspired.

You show me a person who does things without question, and I'll show you the least creative, imaginative, or intelligent.

Ill bet your difficult child is bright, and creative, and does what she wants to do. I'll bet she is giving you hell because you don't know how to deal with her, you never have, because you don't understand her.
If you actually understood her, you could deal with her.
I bet she knows you don't understand her, too.
Does she have positive ways to focus her energies in a way she enjoys?

Do you talk to her about things and actually care about her opinions?
If you don't care about her opinions, she won't care about yours.
If I'm not mistaken, I saw a picture of her in your family portrait. I recall two daughters. One mid to late teens, auburn brownish hair who is just a bit heavy, and another one who is blonde/light brown,about 12 or so, maybe 13 and is a little slim.

So what is the problem? Perhaps you can tell me about an issue.



.Is she promising sex to older boys so they can help her break into other peoples cars and go joyriding?
Is she shoplifting?
Sacrificing goats in the backyard?
Playing naked Ouija Board twister with the other children in the neighborhood and getting the family dog involved too? Is she sending out invitations to naked Ouija Board twister and all of these weird people are showing up at your door?
Is she doing a puppet show with puppets having pictures of faces of people you know doing embarrassing things and posting a video of it on youtube?

How bad can it really be??
If all she does is avoid schoolwork or cleaning the house, that really isn't giving you hell.

A few parenting tips.
Spend enough time doing things with your child so he will actually like you are care what you think, feel and say. If the child thinks you don't care enough about him, he won't care enough about you to care what you tell him.
One you spend enough time with him, use that time to encourage positive behavior and give that child as much guidance as that child needs in that area. Some children need more, some need less.
If the child should do something wrong, then when you discourage bad behavior, the child will listen and care what you say. When the child does something wrong, talk about why it was a mistake what they did, and ask what it was they were trying to achieve by doing it. Explain why what they did really doesn't work, and tell them a way that can.

To do this, you need to spend enough time with your child, if you don't, you will fail.
The child must also be convinced of two things for the child to listen to what you say.
#1:They must be convinced you absolutely know what you are talking about, understanding every implication of it, and how it relates to success in life and well being. If the child is not convinced of this, even if the parent seems to mean well, the parent's counsel will be ignored because the child doesn't think that parent knows what they are talking about.

#2 They must be absolutely convinced that you care about their best interests. If they are only convinced that you know things, but don't think you care, they might think you are lying as some sort of game.
You must be smart and caring. One of the two is not enough.

With respect to #1 and #2, you must spend enough time with your child to understand them and their interests to be able to provide them with the information that is most pertinent to them, and thus is the most effective form of guidance. You must understand your children.

If you knew someone who you were absolutely convinced knew everything and genuinely cared about your best interests, you would listen to everything they said, and would do it. Who wouldn't? Simple, but not easy.

By spending enough time with your children having good times with them, they get the association parents=pleasantness, and parents wishes =pleasantness. Therefore, they want more of that pleasantness, so they will care about what you think and will be most likely to obey.


It also helps to be perceived as the most successful person in life they know. It isn't all about money, either. I've met people who have been really rich, and now are not, and it doesn't bother them, so long as they have what they need. If you care about your children and give them good counsel, they will view you as successful in life because you have provided for them what everyone uses money for, which is to achieve the best sense of well being.

Also, a word on dental health:
Dr Weston Price, head researcher for American Dental Association, traveled the world studying various people in the 1940s and discovered that people who ate a natural diet, with no refined sugar,and only whole grains with no white flour or white rice products had perfectly straight teeth, naturally. No braces needed. This is because whole grains provide the nutrients needed to build the jawbone to it's full size, allowing enough room for the teeth to grow in perfectly straight, including the Wisdom Teeth. Sugar dissolves the teeth and bones, and inhibits proper bone growth. Refined grains are deficient in minerals needed to build bones, too. It isn't genetics. Identical twins were raised separately, in different parts of the country, one with white flour and refined sugar products and the other with healthy whole grains devoid of refined sugar. The twin raised eating healthy food had perfectly straight teeth naturally, with a good looking fully formed facial bone structure, but the other had a jaw too small, with badly crooked teeth, was scrawny by comparison.

That's why you don't eat white bread or drink soda. It will make you ugly with crooked teeth. The genetics are just the blueprints. Even with the best blueprints you still need all the building materials the blueprints call for. If they are not provided, the building won't be properly built. Genetics are not magical and thus cannot essentially make a perfect body out of thin air, which is basically what you are asking it to do when you don't eat right and expect to grow up properly.

That was gibberish. Irrelevant copy and paste from Latin.
I post large posts in the effort to reduce the back and forth discussion of a topic to the minimum. That is why my posts are often so long. I don't want to say a few things and have someone else respond with a few things and have it go on for 2 weeks. I have a lot to say on certain things, and would rather just lay out my argument as complete as I can think of it at that time, and then if anyone finds points of contention within it, they can bring those up.
After all, I have a lot of thought on various matters, which is not limited to a certain small number of words to try and express a certain feeling I have on a subject or an overall vibe. I dissect the entire thing in my head, as I do with all things. What I write is just the condensed version of what I think, which comes to me in two seconds but takes longer to write.

I loved Dodge ball as a kid.

It was brutal and it weeded out the weak. Survival of the fittest on the elementary black top jungle!

It helped brace you for the challenges of the real world. It was also an important test of agility, and discouraged people from being fat. There were very few fat children when I was growing up. Maybe one child out of 30 was fat. Now its so different. No dodgeball=fat children.

Looking back, Dodge ball was kind of rough. I remember getting my fair share of blows to the head and remember being horrified when I accidentally hit some girl in the face and made the nose pieces press up against the top of her nose.

I felt really bad and got ripped by one of the instructors. I know later when my little brother went they changed it to those stupid foam balls and later when my youngest brother went they did away with dodge ball completely. For me, it was always the highlight of the day if nothing "went wrong".

Clearly the guys daughter has issues because she learned it by watching her father be an immature ass. So she now thinks its okay to act like one herself.

Being a new dad there is no "everybody wins" mentality in my house. There never will be. That said I will never use one of my firearms to destroy one of my daughters toys because I can't control her.

As you said..."new dad". When she's 15 and telling you to eat ____ on her FB page your tune may change.

I can guarantee you I would never pull out a weapon and shoot or stab one of her possessions. Can't you get that through your thick head?

I honestly don't care what you do. It's your choice. What I'm saying is that it's easy to sit back and judge what someone else does when you haven't walked a foot, much less a mile in their shoes.

Maybe you'll do something else that makes you look like a douche.

First off you are being rude and presumptuous. Let me clarify. First you are making the assumption that my daughter through lack of bad parenting will one day without question act like this freaks child. That's enough to irritate me right there. Second there is a ton of nonesense in my opinion that you post that I don't say anything about. I don't post how you are wrong ect. and just wait and see. I let it go.

How hard is it for you to see pulling a gun on a laptop that belongs to a child and shooting it is grossly immature? I'm guessing it's very hard for you given your responses. My parents raised me better than that. As pissed as I probably made my parents growing up my father never raised a firearm and shot one of my possessions. He parented me.

This guy is immature and it's clear the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

 

[devilof76]

Exactly.

 

[Blackthornone]

It is always stupid to deliberately damage something because it diminishes it's value. It is babyish and asinine. Breaking something in frustration=stupid. Always. Immature. Parents are allegedly mature human beings. I think the fact that he used such a dangerous thing as a gun to destroy the computer makes him especially unstable and considering he owns a gun, especially dangerous. I think the Police and Social Services got involved because they thought the same thing.

I blasted a girl in gym class in the head & laughed at her b/c she stood there in the middle of the floor talking to her friend

That's actually pretty funny. That said there is a fine line between being hard and stupid. This country bumpkin falls into the stupid category.

First off the "you're wrong" post was a joke at you since I know you and that's why it was so short and with no explanation.

Second, I said what he did was immature so why would attempt to make a case that it was when I already said it was?

Third, I know you well enough to know that there is YOUR side and how YOU see it so YOU'RE right on every point.

All I'm saying is I don't blame the guy for getting to a point where he's had enough. If that's too hard for you to understand then there isn't much else to say.
