Meme: Awesome Dad

[theoldwolf]

You may or may not have caught this latest viral video, showing a dad getting all up in his daughter's face after she talked smack about her parents on Facebook, and thought they wouldn't know about it:

It didn't work.

In honor of the Most Awesome Tommy Jordan, I've created the "Awesome Dad" meme.







Here's the template: Go wild.



You the man, Tommy.

For me, there are no questions to ask. The girl is a brat. She was punished for a previous similar offense, grounded for 3 months. Rather than learn her lesson, she turned around and talked smack about her parents in a public forum, and in an extremely vulgar and disrespectful way. The child has an overblown sense of entitlement, and no understanding of consequences of action. She feels as though the world owes her a living. She learned, hopefully, that it does not.

I'm rather astonished at how many people are defending this kid. People have a right to their own opinions, of course - there's no law against that - but from where I stand, having raised 3 children and experienced some of the same kind of rebellion, I wish I had been more like this dad. They might have had fewer issues. On the other hand, it may have made no difference at all.

We cannot for certain say that she's a brat. We can't be certain of anything because we only have the father's word for it, and if I were in a court of law I'd most certainly be asking him to substantiate his claims before making up my mind about him. The daughter too.

I know from numerous experiences what happens when people hear only one side of a story. Do all parents tell the truth about the children all the time?
