I recall my mom looked at me oddly one day when I said to my eldest daughter when she was around 2 and she asked me "you say please and thank you to her?" well ya how else is she going to learn?!<br /><br />Sigh....I just don't get it and some days it makes me feel old as dirt!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09153867522613662874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-26953385459059492472012-02-13T11:03:11.127-07:002012-02-13T11:03:11.127-07:00Very sad and not amusing.

They go from happy to crying in a nano second. They want everything, they want the best, and they only think of themselves most of the time. But they are also wonderful and mature at times. They need to be hugged in the morning but for us to pretend we don't know them when they are with their friends. They need understanding, patients and their parents to keep the issues between them. What they don't need is us to drop down to their level. I wish the dad good luck mending this relationship. What took years to build was just destroyed in the 8 minute video.<br /><br />catAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-11353098175011945292012-02-11T22:25:35.907-07:002012-02-11T22:25:35.907-07:00Aside from the lack of relationship between child ...Aside from the lack of relationship between child and parents, which Cindy and Lael already commented on -- the parents could have given the computer to someone in need.<br /><br />Thank would be the beginning of teaching how to think about someone beside yourself, which children don't know unless parents model it and teach it.<br /><br />I agree with the anonymous comment above -- "sad"<br /><br />Peggy in VirginiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-46702952178176260312012-02-11T20:13:25.733-07:002012-02-11T20:13:25.733-07:00This is just sad.This is just sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-57002570447683604252012-02-11T08:03:56.831-07:002012-02-11T08:03:56.831-07:00Shame at thinking this a bit funny at the beginnin...Shame at thinking this a bit funny at the beginning? Shame should come if you had continued to think this funny, amusing, a way to respond to "today's rebellious teens". Instead, you quickly realized that this was not amusing and have a thoughtful response that encourages others to think. Shame on the father and daughter, but even there you had a compassionate way that they could follow to begin to mend their relationship. I think shame is not what we think in the first place. We have our instant perceptions, but then thoughtfulness, compassion, action follow. What we do then is what defines us, not our first emotional responses.<br /><br />JMHO,<br />LaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-86057103516540582792012-02-11T07:39:54.228-07:002012-02-11T07:39:54.228-07:00I actually had resisted watching this video until ...I actually had resisted watching this video until you posted it. I am really not interested in this stuff. I have to say I was fairly appalled at the tone at the outset. Maybe we are "weird" or "freaks" but I just don't get this at all.
