| superchunk said: lol kids are stupid. As a 33yr old dad who has also spent the last ten years raising siblings from 12 on up. I can honestly say teens are ignorant sons of bitches and I feel sorry for mom when I was a teen. Is it really so difficult to actually read the damn package?! seriously?! I'm sure it clearly stated what it was for, but you know damn well you just looked at the price and saw DS. lol. Sorry to rip on ya when obviously your day isn't too fun already, but jesus man how much frustration could be solved if any teenager could actually be a little more patient and read. |
Well as true as a lot of that is, throwing a tantrum over such a minor thing is not something to call "solid parenting" and enough to do something like that. Good parents know that with kids, ESPECIALLY WITH TEENAGERS, you have to pick your battles. If you don'g do any discipline you lose them and if you freak out over everything you lose them. I'm sure freaking out over a thing like this is not something to freak out about.
Kids might be stupid that doesn't mean bad parents exist which they do. Even if the teen years are brutal to the parents their still has to be the clear line of who is the adult to set an example for the impressionable young minds as they grow older. In this case, the father has only shown that maybe he still needs some parenting.
Leo- try not to sweat it too much. I have a father as well that is very anal about a lot of things and well he freaks out on the smallest of things as well. Personally I've just grown used to it and smart enough to really understand it and not let it bother me. Unfortunately parents are people too and screw up as well just like the kids.
