so pray tell , after he has already done the grounding and talking thing , what should have been done?
seriously for the teens that just dont get it , how do you get through to them?
i had a similar situation with one of mine . i had numerous talks with him about bashing his family on the internet , yet he continued and tried to hide it. of course i google my family names at least once a week and found the post on a tumbler blog.
i was pissed to put it nicely , and wrote a huge long post about it on my tumbler and posted the link to his facebook for all his friends to see.
Took him about 10 minutes to call and beg me to delete all i had wrote. his friends where getting on him and such. i asked if he was done bashing family on the internet . there has never been a problem since then.
No i did not shoot the laptop , but would have stomped it to little pieces if i had had it handy . happily danced on it in fact.
If that make me a horrid parent , thats okay
