🇬🇧BRIT Reacts To SPOILED KIDS GETTING OWNED BY THEIR PARENTS!

The father that brought his daughter back to the store she stole from is the way parents should act to discipline children.

[@Habitt5253]

@@specialopssoldier1 There are right ways and wrong ways to discipline your child. If what you do doesn't change their behavior then it is the wrong way, if what you do does change their behavior is the right way. If taking his daughter back to where she *STOLE* from changes her behavior then the father was 100% correct to do what he did.

Yeah after one or two parents posted these kinds of videos and they went viral, like anything else a ton of people started staging these videos. In some of them you can even see the kids trying to stifle a laugh while the parents are destroying their stuff. A lot of this stuff happens after the parents buy the kid a new thing or it happens to some piece of electronics that are twice the age of the kids.

[@ptxlvr7150]

"there's a better way to correct bad behavior", you would think, but sometimes you have to get the kids attention before they will listen. My 17 y/o decided he was grown, one night, and pushed me past my limit, I told him if he could not behave, he could get out of my house. He asked where he was supposed to sleep, I told him I didn't care,the bed of his pickup maybe, that was his problem not mine. A few hours later he was knocking on the door apologizing and asking if he could come back in, because after he went to sleep in the bed of the truck, it started raining. He was soaking wet. I asked him if he was going to follow the rules, he said yes, I let him in. That was the worst I ever did. I hope you never have to figure it out, but when you become a parent, and your child actls like this, you'lllearn sometimes you have to go over the top to reach them. They can wait out a grounding, and what else is there, they can't withstand. But something like this, they remember, and they don't want to repeat, so they learn to follow the rules. Anybody,, that is afraid to actually teach kids a lesson, because that is so mean needs to live with some of these kids for a while, they will find out they don't know shit about raising a child.

[@staceysturgill846]

I’m not a perfect parent, but it seems like most of these parents waited until they’re beyond angry before acting. Seems like they should’ve grounded them from the devices before it got this bad. They’re throwing their own money away. They could stop paying for the phone, the gaming subscriptions, etc. Pause paying for a month and you don’t even have to have a physical situation. For the little girl that stole, my mom did the same thing when I stole something when I was little and I never stole again. The 911 douche…hope he got a fine, he was old enough to know better.

When I was a young teen in the 1980s, I heard about a teen who was locked out of his home by his parents. Apparently, the parents kept warning their son that at 18 he would have to move out of the parents home because he refused to work, help around the house and kept getting into trouble with the law. Well, one night the parents had had enough with their son's BS. The night before the son's 18th birthday, the son left the house about 9PM to party with his friends. As soon as the son left, the father changed all the locks in the home and the mother packed up all her son's clothes and placed the suitcases on the front porch. Hours later the son came home drunk and he was unable to enter the home. The cops were called and the parents explained everything which had been going on. The son began to say that his birthday wasn't until the next day. The cops turned around pointed out that it was well after midnight making the son 18 years old, and thus an adult. The cops asked the parents again what they wanted to do. The answer was clear: the son had to go. With that info, the cops arrested the son for public drunkenness and took him to jail. The parents even when to court later to get a judge to order their son to leave the parents alone.

[@cindymatthewsarrowdalearts6449]

Wow. Those parents are crap parents. The kid didn't get that attitude in a vacuum. Something they did led to this kid being so extremely disrespectful. Washing their hands of him at 18 doesn't do a darned thing for anyone.

[@missangie001]

Yeah, it's a little tough to unring a bell. By that I mean honesty, respect and gratitude have to be mutual, taught right from the beginning and reinforced as you go. Also, parents need to lead by example. You can't expect your kids to exhibit values or behaviors they have never seen and were never taught. One thing we didn't see on these videos is how those parents reached that level of frustration. I doubt that it was this single incident that lead them to destroy the phone or game, most likely it was a pattern of behavior that went unchecked for weeks, months or possibly years. I would be willing to bet that very few of these kids actually earned the money to buy these devices for themselves, however, I don't see how destroying the device in front of them is going to teach your child a sudden respect or appreciation for your authority. If parents purchased these things for their kids doesn't that technically make them gifts? As far as calling DCS goes, do what I did. My kids threatened it one time and one time only. I called their bluff and posted the phone number for DCS on the fridge and told them to go for it cause maybe they could find a family willing to put up with their shenanigans. To my knowledge, they never called.

Also police will report to a 911 hang up.

Yikes. Half these examples just seem like maybe the parents should have set known expectations from the start or set boundaries earlier so it wouldn't have to come to destruction of property. Even if your kid is the most spoiled ever, I've never seen a responsible parent break stuff. Take things, make a kid work to earn it back, sure. If you bought them the tech, then you're just wasting your money destroying it. If they bought it, well...now you're destroying things you don't technically own just to prove a point which shouldn't have to be something a parent resorts to. I'd like to know what led up to half these examples. For instance - the phone in the pool. Was this kid given screen time or warnings, or did the parent say "next time I see you..." ? Or did she just...snap and hurl the phone? Doesn't seem like a good lesson to the kid if it's the last scenario. To be fair, I'm not a parent. Just an observation on my part.

[@Peg__]

Our sons are ages 20-30 now. What you described, is pretty much how we taught our sons. We rarely had to discipline them. Maybe this is really odd... If we said "No" to them, we would tell him the reasoning and/or experience behind the decision, especially if it's "a hard, No" For a chore task? First we'd say "Please?", next would be to tell them a few more times, then be more specific, like, "Have it done by "X" o' clock."; escalation wise. I think each son had a time, where we took computers, consoles,etc. to work with us, because they called "sick" to school or for discipline. Basically, we did the opposite of our own parents. Lol Maybe it helped, that we as individuals, understood or had the awareness that we were raising children and living in an era where tech and how we communicate or interact with others, was and is, changing rapidly. We were trying to prep them for when they were out of the home or at college. I'd say they have a good work/life/gaming/phone balance now.

If we broke something irresponsibly, we worked to pay it back, or we lost the privilege for a while until we proved capable of handling it.

There is a very fine line between discipline and abuse. Being stern, but loving is a trait of a good parent. My dad loved me and my siblings unconditionally, but he knew just the right amount of punishment to fit certain behaviors. 99% of the time, it was never physical in any way. But when he needed to be more harsh in certain situations, he was. He was stern about it, but never crossed the line. Not at all like my grandfather who would cross the line all the time with my dad. After dishing out the appropriate punishment he would leave us alone in our rooms to think about what we'd done. A short time later, he would always come back, hug us and give us the reassurance that he only punished us in that way because he loved us and wanted us to learn from our mistakes. There are different parenting styles, of course, but as long as they come from a place of love, I don't think parental discipline is a bad thing.

[@chrismorin1318]

When I was a kid, my Mom got so mad that we didn't do chores that she cut the electric cord off of the TV and radio and took the plug ends with her to work.

Sometimes we could earn stuff back, other times she'd take it straight to the burn barrel. We learned not to disrespect her or her rules. And if I'd have spoken to her the way these kids speak to their parents, I'd be picking myself up off the floor. And if we'd have threatened to call child protective services... well one of my brothers did threaten it... Mom's response... she'd dial the number for him.

And if they keep acting an ass, they'll eventually be down to 3 hots, a cot, and basic clothing. That's it. There will be no extras until they get their minds right and if they can't manage that, well their lives will continue to be bare minimum of survival. Zero extras. And when they turn 18, they're fully expected to take their brat show on the road. All current and future attitude problems solved for the low, low price of $400

Destruction of expensive items and humiliation by recording your kids reactions and posting them on social media is not the way to teach them how to behave. It is just petty at best and cruel at worst.

[@specialopssoldier1]

lmao shut up karen.. youre part of the problem

[@rainbowunicorn709]

I wonder whether it ever works out differently. Like maybe the parents run over a laptop or console, then a few months later, something happens that causes damage to the car engine.

[@spaceshiplewis]

The problem with destroying things is that the kid learns that destruction is an acceptable behavior when someone wrongs you. Same thing with hitting and spanking when the child gets older, they think violence is a perfectly fine way of punishment.

[@leighhallford894]

These parents are people who has problems with self control & passing their traits to their children.

[@megwilkinson1191]

The very responses of these kids screaming and swearing is exactly why the parents have had it. Seriously...they're only electronics. And the parents most likely bought them to begin with. I don't think these parents are doing this because the kids didn't listen just one time...the parents are tired of talking and talking. I think that the price of the kids learning a lesson far exceeds the cost of the electronics. These kids are the future Karens. These kids talk a lot of smack to their parents...then cry when their toy is destroyed. I totally think getting our children to focus on being respectful, productive individuals is worth the cost of some electronics. My child being a decent human being is worth far more than a PS3. Of course if this was the first time they didn't listen, then yeah...its going overboard with the destruction. But im pretty sure this way surpasses a one time deal.

[@vickismith4180]

Kudos to these parents standing up to their technology addicted kids. Yes, take the phone and throw it in the pool ! THE PARENTS purchased the phone AND pay the monthly charges.

[@CasuallyIncredible]

My parents are in the middle of Strict, & Spoiled, so I thank them for being nice & teaching me respect. But spoiling a child will make them Greedy, Narcissist, Having displeasure when saying no, Lack of responsibility, Obedience, Sharing, which all of those can effect the child when they are older. Also don't be very strict to the point that it damages relationships.

[@MarkMeadows90]

Some of these videos are staged, but some did prove a point. Proper disciplining is key.

[@lydiaedwards8100]

These parents are nuts. I think most of them are not acting. Sadly, they look authentic.

[@armadillotoe]

In some cases, there aren't better ways. Games and phones are privileges not rights. When I shoplifted as a kid I had to take everything back ask for the manager, apologize, and have him call my mother to tell her I did what she said.

[@Barbarawejr]

I can understand emotions running high in the heat of the moment but that was some of the worst parenting I’ve ever seen. It what you were trying to teach your child is that dad/mom has an out of control temper and that it’s okay to smash expensive property,then kudos,you succeeded. The only clip that showed good parenting is when the father took his daughter back to the store to apologize for stealing. That was good parenting.

[@TaylorMadeThaGoat]

The dude with the Jordan's was A1🤣🤣🤣 BTW, I have no clue why these kids run after the items when they're crushed, like lemme run down stairs real quick and see if my thousands of pieces of tech might somehow not be broken😭

[@garyedwardgray7549]

This is nothing but bad parenting. As you pointed out, the reason these children are entitled brats in the first place is due to the parents. Second, as you also pointed out, destroying property isn’t the proper solution… after all, it’s property that 99% of the time those parents paid for. They’re wasting their own money! They’re acting like children themselves, having a temper tantrum over their kid’s misbehavior. The only good parenting in this video is the father who brought her daughter back to the store to apologize. She’ll learn her lesson and there’s no harm done. THAT is excellent parenting. The rest of these fools? They never should’ve had kids. I had one parent who wasn’t the best and had violent tendencies sometimes, yet he would never resort to this childish, infantile behavior of destroying property he paid for. Of course, as we were raised properly (by one parent, at least), the situation almost never devolved into this anyway… again, the children’s initial behaviors which sparked these outbursts all comes back to the parents. I actually almost feel bad for most of these kids… almost… they’re still a bunch of smart-asses who deserved their comeuppances. But the parents are both responsible for the kids’ poor behavior AND the property destruction that came as an end result of it. So, yeah, I actually have a small bit (VERY small bit) of sympathy for the kids.

[@laurawilson5666]

Discipline but don't destroy their things. It will come back to bite you on the butt.

[@murieljames4022]

Kabir, a parent has to do what they got to do. Oh well, spoil a..s kids don’t need those things. Sometimes these type of children don’t get it until you do something drastic to wake them up. I was one of these parents and it worked for me, my child got it and he changed. The house without the walls Kabir looks like a basement or bottom level of the house being refinished/renovated. Watching from USA 🇺🇸

[@sharcrum]

And the girl that had to go tell the store people what she did....i did that to one of my daughters that had started taking things from the store. She was maybe 13 or 14 and well should have known not to do that. And i took doors off of hinges a time or two, also!!!! I had 4 daughters and that wasn't easy!!!!! And told my daughters to go right ahead and call child services because of they did, they would end up in foster care and i would get to lay up in jail in peace and quiet!!!!! 😂😂 They thought about that seriously!!!!! I had to deal with so many phone issues and sneaking out issues and lies and.... Man, i wouldn't want to go through all that again for nothing!!!!!! I had the daughter that would whine and want to stay home from school then she would be up and around acting fine later and wanting to go to the store with me.......🙄🙄

[@missrayelyn3045]

My son and I had an issue with electronics and chores. You don't have to destroy expensive equipment. I took his to work with me, where it stayed for the summer. We now have a great understanding about chores before fun.

[@lorriredmon7531]

I think in most of these cases it's the result of none of the other things done before doing any good and they're at their wits end! My step sons kept breaking into each other's room by picking the locks and stealing from each other and it didn't stop so we took the doors off the hinges.

[@fad23]

Most of these seem like abuse to me. I'm not sure what other actions or conversations preceded these actions. I just feel like there muse be a less destructive way to set boundaries, teach behavior, etc.

[@meganlynn83]

First, this is MY opinion with MY child and how I parent and discipline him. He is 12. I am not destroying shit because that's MY money being wasted. Can things disappear? Absolutely! Can they be sold or donated? Absolutely! I will admit, being a consistent parent bit me in the ass once when my son was much younger. I once told my son if he didn't stop doing something with his tablet while I was driving, I would throw it out of the window. (Purely emotional response from me, after asking him multiple times.) Well, he did it again. We were ALMOST home. Literally just pulled in the neighborhood. I pulled over, threw my car in park, grabbed the tablet, rolled the window down and tossed it out of the passenger window. [I strategically parked in front of a house with very plushy grass and I knew the owner. 😂] Drove away. Grabbed it back from my neighbor later in the day and apologized for my strange actions, that she witnessed. She gave me the, 'Mom nod' when we made eye contact as I was tossing it out. After that, I was MUCH more careful about my threats. Because I WILL follow through and if I didn't follow through, I know he will take advantage, like most children will. He really is a great kid and I don't need to do this type of shit, nor would I. Unrelated to this video but I feel the same in a relationships that has ended. I'm not gonna be petty or vindictive by breaking someone's shit, damaging their property, putting their stuff in the yard/driveway/street, etc. It's just not for me, no matter how angry or hurt I am. 🤷‍♀️

I need to look and see if you've reacted to a, 'Telling Mom to Shut Up' and Dad's reactions. They. Are. Hilarious! 😂😂😂

[@beverlyshane8433]

Born in the 50’s with old school parents. I’m glad I did. I would bust up their stuff too and when they get a job they can buy their own.

[@chelsea6804]

It's sad that parents are getting to these points. Take control of the situation waaaaay before it gets to you being so frustrated that you have to trash these expensive devices. Put time limits on them, lock them away, or give them to someone else to keep for you until the "time out" is up. There are much better ways to show your kids that you'll not tolerate this stuff. Also, bonus: you get to show them a good example of how to handle yourself when you get upset. Give boundaries and rules, not too much leeway until you end up exploding at them. Sheesh. Off my soapbox now. 😆 Thank you for yet another fun reaction, Kabir. I always love watching your videos. And your "best restaurant item" ones are my favorites because you're always so hungry. 😂 - Chelsea

[@jesseford2213]

All of these is 💯 real and well deserved

[@nwj03a]

My dad just smacked me in the back of the head and well, never messed with mom. My dad was a big big guy, even if I wanted to fight back I couldn’t, and my mom just had a way of talking that was intimidating. Great childhood in general and they never broke my stuff, that’s petty.

[@rainbowunicorn709]

Terrorizing a child is one thing. What about when you became large enough to defend yourself?

[@nwj03a]

@Unicorn I was never terrorized, just explaining how I was disciplined when I acted up. By the time I was big enough to do anything, it didn’t matter because I respected what my parents said and did. Dads gone, mom isn’t, and I’m probably the most responsible of her kids, but I am the first born and the only guy. My little sisters get away with sh*t that I’d get chastised for and I’m in my 30s.

[@rainbowunicorn709]

@@nwj03a So you were treated as lesser than? Did you ever point out the hypocrisy?

[@nwj03a]

@Unicorn I don’t know where you’re from, maybe it’s getting lost in internet translation. Nobody ever treated me lesser, nobody terrorized me, nobody diminished, emasculated, etc. My dad smacked me, my mom told me to shape up (basically). I’m the big brother, the role model, I don’t get to f* up. These girls will look up to you forever, act like you belong in the position you’re in. You can call that abuse if you want, but all of my sisters look up to me to this day. If J doesn’t know what to do, who does? Two are married and ones engaged, they still ask my advice on big decisions. Just teaching me how to be the male role model that will be the oldest one they’ve got.

[@douggaijin]

You are right. The guy that drove the riding mower over the kid’s games is the same father and son where the dad throws the kid’s Xbox in the pool.

[@joshntn37111]

[@Tijuanabill]

Yeah living with just the studs up in our basements is pretty common. Some are finished areas, some are not, and some are in progress.

[@JoeyBlueTx]

1.) These parents bought these devices, so that's on them if they want to waste money. 2.) These are the kids that grow up to murder their parents based on resentment. 3.) Everyone of these behaviors are abusive af showing the parents don't actually know how to be good parents.

[@RickZackExploreOffroad]

Considering the well known negative effects of these devices, especially on adolescent brains, taken them away is the best thing a parent could do.

[@JoeyBlueTx]

@@RickZackExploreOffroad Considering the PARENTS brought them into the home, allowed the behavior, and then put all blame on their kids....it really seems the parents are far more detrimental than the devices. As for electronics, it's a catch 22 for kids. Their jobs, portions of school, social structure have all been relegated (before they were even born) to electronic devices. It might be time to simply teach them responsible and reasonable use. That would, of course, require responsible and reasonable parents.

I think theses parents could have taken their phone and locked it up somewhere . Destroying their phones is just cruel. And is no way to parent.

[@dudieb]

I think it is great. I’ve always said I don’t understand how parents can lose control over their kids because they have all the power. Just take away their stuff or don’t by it for them in the first place. If they want things they should pay for it by working for it just like in the real world. Even then they should only get to keep it by folowing certain rules.

[@JacobNascar]

I grew up in a respectable home with these same electronics. My punishment was a 55 gallon drum of ass whoopin, physical labor in the yard, or being grounded. No xboxes were harmed in the making of my childhood.
