Her rant was pretty awful. I'd be incredibly hurt if my kid did something like that. She sounded like a spoiled, whiny little witch.
I agree. It's a lesson most people learn the hard way. Some people lose their job over stuff like that because they forget just how public it is.
Kids rant it happens. Going to the extreme of shooting her computer shows how strict he apparently is. I can see why she would have wrote that. If this is how he handles situations. 3 months grounded for her last rant?
I'd probably not have put on a big floppy hat and shot the computer, but I would have taken it away for a very, very long time - if not forever.
This is one of the behaviors that I dread when ours are older...they are young now and know that we are fun but have high expectations of them in terms of their behaviors in terms of doing what is right and respecting their parents and teachers.
Nothing justifies complaining about the people that provide EVERYTHING for you publicly. Some of what she said may or may not have been justified, I don't know, but the manner in which she did it certainly was not.
If your niece did that to you after everything you've done for her (I'm assuming you've raised her since infancy) do you think it would be justified?

Kids need to learn a lot more respect these days.
Good for them!
So ungrateful, it's ridiculous.
Wow, this is making news:

And I said that... where exactly?
Well I like how you assumed I didn't have kids because I had a different opinion that you. You think that the parent did the right thing. As I said parents are not perfect, meaning he made a mistake. But you know whatever.
And I never said he did the right thing. I just said I think his reaction is justified given what she wrote. I certainly never said or implied he was perfect.
I don't think anyone could really say what he did was definitively right or wrong without knowing a whole lot more about their situation. And even then, it's still subjective.

Edit: I missed part of the video last night so it sounds like her chores aren't all she made them out to be. He's right, she's wrong but he still could have handled this in a more adult way.
"...do the dishes, clean the counter tops, all the floors, make all the beds, do the laundry and the trash." Then her letter says something about all the work she does in his clinic. So it sounds like she's helping out with his business too.
Even if everything she said is true and she's a modern day Cinderella, the manner in which she handled herself was as immature as it comes. She not only showed complete disregard for everyone around her, but for herself. It was a petulant, spoiled display. Apparently she is a teen, or she wouldn't have been told to get a job. Is this how she will handle other issues in her life? Would you want a co-worker that volatile? We have all seen reports in the news of teens that don't handle stress well and take it out on others. I'm not saying that she would or will go in that direction, but her rant shows a complete lack of judgement and self-control.
