Is this good parenting or not?

Not sure how I feel about this except that I would not mess with this woman.

Her language is not the best example, but on the positive side; Mom at least appears to care about what the kid is putting on Facebook for the world to see and does not approve of it. That is at least of form of parenting, unlike some other parents who consciously look away and then wonder why their baby girl is pregnant at 14 or 15.

Just my 2 cents.

I'm just curious as to the mothers motive, what exactly did she hope to accomplish from that rant? She'll post it on her daughters facebook and it'll be made a huge joke, her daughter will face the consequences...nothing good can come of it :shrug:

KDENISE- the one thing I continually struggle with is why so many people want to post everything on social media.... I agree, posting this will not help anyone, but I think now the daughter maybe realizes that her momma isn't as quick to turn the other way when there is questionable behavior. And, in my opinion, is what more parents need to do these days. Kids raising themselves or tv raising them is just causing chaos.

Should this have been done in private? Absolutely. But then we wouldn't be having a conversation about it.

I have no problem with allowing kids to suffer the consequences of their behavior. I am even ok with (and would encourage) parents who provide some of those consequences themselves. But the swearing freak was too much. Of course I would have been raging too.

Lead by example, would you want your kid speaking that way...EVER? You lose all credibility when you act the way that parent did.

Surely you jest ...
I agree its a good thing that mom seems to care what shes doing and how she carries herself. However I really wonder why though? I mean that girl would have to fall in the gutter to reach her moms station in life. Maybe mom is just upset because of how it might reflect on her?

A rant like that are words falling on deaf ears. If you asked that girl what her mother said all she will remember is the name calling and from her mom of all people. Sad, I felt so bad for her.

My daughters and I would talk about things. I never accused first, I asked first. If I had evidence on the contrary to their answer, after I gave them their chance then I presented it and said sit we need to talk.

Don't get me wrong, I was known to raise my voice at times. In fact the big joke in my family was, 'shes yelling its ok'. Honey let me tell you, if I was calm, monotone and looking you in the eye, be afraid, be very afraid and they knew it.

I'm glad this wasn't the video I saw this morning of some woman beating her toddler with a pillow.

Bah. I did all sorts of things that my kids weren't allowed to do until they were adults. Drink, smoke, say cusswords, drive a car, stay out all night, get married...

When they're that age it's not about credibility, it's about dominance.

I have no real opinion on this video except to wonder why the woman would record it and put it on YouTube.
