My son said he kinda felt sorry for the kid, because the parents had probably set this kid up for this. Meaning, they FED the kid's habit and allowed it, to get this big in his life.

Meaning, don't let bad habits in your kids.

Dad mows over kids Video games, (language warning)

It really makes you think. We are raising a whole generation of folks that want to play games for a living.

Hilarious! Sad, but hilarious...

I believe the biggest mistake people make is that they dwell on raising children....everybody seems to forget that we are actually trying to raise adults.

A few years ago my oldest son was having a hell of a time with his 'tweener daughter. Sending her to her room was common, but she apparently had gotten to where she preferred the isolation. He called me and asked grand-dad's advice. Just off the cuff I told him to take her bedroom door off the hinges..

He called me a few hours later and was cheerfully reporting "it worked"! Her little fit that I could hear in the background approached that of the kid in the video.

Grand-dad - 1
Pre-teen - 0

The videos are FAKE (read toward the bottom). Way over acted and full of false moves. They are obviously trying to prove a point and push some buttons. The YouTube commenters are the "best"... a bunch of trolls and even worse than the video game kid.

I think there is another set where the snotty kid doesn't get the new car that he wants... waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh...

It was nicely done. Close enough to reality, to make me see folks in it!

I heard a feller on talk-radio last year do the exact same thing to his son and daughter. They were behaving exactly the same as granddaughter Cash and did exactly the same as Granddad Cash suggested. Not meaning to be repetitive, but they had the exact same results as well.

After some time he put the doors back on and amazingly the kids had so used to it, they quit closing their doors for the most part.

The guy on the radio, nor any callers after including myself, had ever heard of that before. Some callers said they were going to do the same right after they got off the radio.

I'd be curious to see how well that works for others.

It the video is real, the father, the filmer and the kid have issues. It appears the kid may have Asperger Syndrome. I suggest that they learn more constructive ways to deal with [msg=276709]Asperger Syndrome[/msg]

And 50 years ago it was raising kids just to play Cowboys and Indians and go to war, and 50 years before that it was just a generation of people reading books and not getting outside, and 50 years before that it was . . . . . . .
