How can your kid record your rant if you take his phone away?

One time - then there would be no social media for them.

My kids shame me? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! All I have to do is tell them I’ll be the “cool dad”, and promise to hang out with them.

Kids would lose internet for a long time.

Of course if they were mine they’d have had corporal punishment early so the mere threat of it would mostly be enough as they got older. Worked on us.

I don’t know about my kids, but my dog does it!

Cease payments on their cell phone service, Internet connection and remove all gaming devices.

Problem solved.

I might just have to break down and take a selfie - Bermuda shorts, Hawaiian shirt, white socks and black shoes, while mowing the lawn.

My niece tried that a couple of years ago. My sister in law being the no nonsense Irishwoman she is erupted like Mt. Vesuvius and now the kid has no Facebook page. She was punished with grounding and God knows what else. You have to nip that stuff in the bud.

Don't give them a 'smart' phone. An old style Motorola Star Tac will fill the communications need. No frills, no texting, just the necessities.

Problem solved.

Any parent that is afraid of their kids “shaming” them on social media has already lost.

I was not my daughters’ friend. I was their parent.

Now that they are in their twenties, we are friends and we get along great.

The first time my daughter said, “I hate you”, I laughed out loud. I explained to her I was not here to make her happy. I was here to turn her into a good adult.
