mike, our dad always tells us not to let our alligator mouth run off with our hummingbird butts. i can see where the father could be upset, she has next to nothing for responsibilities, demands everything at once, and to top it all off, not for the first, but the second time posted disrespectful rants about her parents on facebook (kinda forgetting, as her father said, that he works in IT) thinking they won't see it, as she has them blocked, after he has invested over $130, and six hours of his time upgrading princess's laptop. after a serious upgrade like that, i'd say she loses the laptop, period, until she works up the $$ to buy her own. i seem to remember something, somewhere, about honoring your father and mother.
