Hi Helen,

9,339,601 views as of this minute and growing by the minute. Quite impressive and I guess he got his point across to his rebellious daughter. Kids today seem to expect to be spoon fed everything without having any responsibilities. Fortunately I didn't have that problem with my kids and I'm happy to say they are passing on what they learned to their kids.

The father in the video actually kept his cool and I can appreciate his actions and applaud it. It's encouraging to see that he took the appropriate actions and punished his child for her atrocious behavior. Any body wanna bet she plays the victim and goes into the pity me mode? Kudos to the Dad.

Shalom,

Peter

Happy Saturday Helen and friends. I watched this video last night Helen, right after you posted it, and I have a very different perspective than most of you. As I listened to this gentleman talk I too, was inclined to heartedly applaud him until near the end when he talks about Hannah's mother and stepmother and then I began to take a different view. As someone who raised a stepchild I know there are scars that can never be erased. I feel as though we're only hearing one side of the story here. I in no way condone Hannah's posting on her facebook page but neither do I condone the actions of her father in destroying her laptop and posting it to the world wide web. Here we evidently have a child from a broken home and although it's not clear, it sounds a though she is probably living with the father and stepmother. As I said, we're only hearing one side of the story here and in all fairness I would like to hear the other side before I make a snap judgment.

I think the father was wrong in putting the video on the world wide web for everyone to see and with his daughter only being 15 years old, this may not have the desired effect he's looking for but just the opposite. In my opinion this is a case of airing your dirty laundry in public. Not good.

I would just like to add that my two moved out before my stepson did. He continued to live with us until he was able to buy his house when he was about 21 years old. We were blessed by having three who never gave us any problems.

PS: I just read some of the comments when I clicked to watch this on youtube, and seems I am not the only one who thinks this was not a good idea. Click this link and read them for yourself. You'll find some agreeing with the father's actions but there are a lot who don't.

Hi Kathleen, I'll have to check and see if any of my grandkids have read any of Rita Mae Brown's books. My oldest granddaughter loves cats and would take in every stray that came along if her parents would let her.

Hi Mary Evelyn and Amanda,

While we're on the topics of reading and pets, Rita Mae Brown has had a fantastic ongoing series of mystery novels for the past 15 years or so, co-written with her cat, Sneaky Pie Brown. They are very entertaining, sort of comedy/mystery/common-sense stuff, with 2 cats and a dog solving mysteries long before the people do, and lots of southern hospitality and mentions of southern food for those of you from the South! Then a few years ago she started another series centered around foxhunting and hounds, all her books are excellent!

Another of my favorite book series is by Alexander McCall Smith, his "No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" series is great, funny, more common sense, and set in Botswana. He also has another series set in Scotland..."The Sunday Philosophy Club" (but I like the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series better!)

More of my favorites, Dominick Dunne and John Sandford and John Irving.

Roger for some reason your song won't play for me when I clicked on the rooster and I was so excited to see it posted. Is there another link we could listen to it at?
