Facebook Parenting: For the troubled teen

Be sure to catch the ending.

My daughter thought it would be funny/rebellious/cool to post on her Facebook wall just how upset she was and how unfair her life here is; how we work her too hard with chores, never pay her for chores, and just in general make her life difficult.

She chose to share this with the entire world on Facebook and block her parent’s from seeing it. Well, umm… she failed. As of the end of this video, she won’t have to worry anymore about posting inappropriate things on Facebook…

Maybe a few kids can take something away from this… If you’re so disrespectful to your parents and yourself as to post this kind of thing on Facebook, you’re deserving of some tough love. Today, my daughter is getting a dose of tough love.

Warning: Since this video seems to have gone crazy, I figure I’ll post this notice. I’m going to read a letter my 15 year old daughter wrote. There ARE some curse words in it. None of them are incredibly bad, but they are definitely things a little kid shouldn’t hear… not to mention things MY KID shouldn’t say!

Mississippi: Bill renames Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America

JACKSON, MS (AP) –
State Rep. Steve Holland wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America for “official purposes within the state of Mississippi.”

Holland, D-Plantersville, says the measure aims to mock anti-immigrant legislation that he finds mean-spirited and insignificant.

Newly elected Gov. Phil Bryant supports legislation to allow the state to crack down on immigration. Republicans won control of the Mississippi House last November.

If approved, House Bill 150 would take effect beginning July 1. It began drawing attention Thursday on various Internet sites.

Not everyone is in on Holland’s joke. The bill has drawn a rebuke from CafDe Con Leche Republicans, a Minnesota-based group that promotes a pro-immigrant and pro-Hispanic stance within the Republican Party. The group suggests renaming the Mississippi River as the Lincoln River.
