Default bad parenting (rant)

My rant of the day

My 16 year old niece threw this up on facebook today.



She's 16. I guess I'm getting old.

Am I wrong for having more of an issue with her posting this on FB than for her actually going out and getting either drunk or high? I'm not naive enough to think that there is anyone who can truly stop her from doing shit, but damn at least try and hide it for fucks sake.

This is EXACTLY why I like my daughter on facebook - all her friends treat it like passing notes. But, it's PUBLIC[ish]. If her parents see it and do nothing, it's on them, not her.

I did.



BUT her mother doesn't give a shit, she's on FB too. Her mother doesn't disipline her either, thats the problem.

I'm just thinking back to my youth and all the shit I did. BUT I did my damndest to at least hide it, chewing gum to hide the smoke smell (green and otherwise), alcahol smell, hiding a can of deoderizer in the basement of my apt building to spray myself down before I walk in the door. At least I made an effort.

This makes me want to call the cops on them, which I would do if I knew where the hell fernandos birthday is.

In the mean time I have taken the position that it's not my kid, not my problem. Except that it will be my problem. My 9 year old looks up to her 16 year old cousin like she's a god and wants to copy her. So in the end it is my problem.

I think I might just email a screen grab to her grandmother, she's the only one who may actually give a shit.

Good job on the comment. Just enough to let her know you're watching. Do the screen print before it's deleted in case grandmother needs to see it.


I had my wild side too but also kept a very low profile.

Well. Just tell her to stick to anal so she doesnt have a rug rat and leaves it at the house someone else to take care of. What? I'm helping to prevent unwanted baby making.


I know it sucks to just stand by and not really have a say in things but sometimes kids needs to learn the hard way.

No shit man.

There was a day when taking a camera to a party would have gotten it, and probably you, broken. We didnt want evidence.

Today, they just throw that shit everywhere! Hey, look, a picture of me being a fucktard! We better show everyone!

Is she hot? I cant tell from the small pic!

What are you a pedophile?

Yeh she's got a body for being 16, and it has gotten her into trouble before.

I busted my niece the other day posting from her ipod touch during school. I KNOW her mom wouldn't be ok with that and when I asked her if her mom knew about it she said "I don't know" so I said "well she does now!!" I really don't think I was as stupid as "kids these days" 'cause really, if your parents/aunts/uncles are on FB and are your friends, censor your public shit!! Hello?!
