Aug 19 2008Father Nails XBox To Tree To Spite Sons

FIRST!!!!!
Thats sucks, I'd be pissed

He should have beat them with Wii controllers instead.

hahahah, totally owned, btw im THAT diego

Personally, I wouldn't talk to my dad ever again if he did this. I put too much work into my games to have them ruined like that.

Serves them right. He warned them, they wouldn't listen. He purchased it, and has the right to do away with it. I'm rootin' for the dad.

True, it does suck (I've had this done to me but with other toys and the like), but lessons must be taught. If one doesn't learn at home, life will teach you, and life is much more painful than losing an xbox to a tree.

Go Dad! Maybe the boys will learn to quit acting like asshats...

YES! Now that's a real Fatherhood.

he should have nailed his kids' gooches to that tree. or turned the xbox into a bird feeder. a bird gooch-feeder.

hope my dad doesn't hear about this story, he might get some ideas.

Had a similar situation when I was a kid. My dad kept calling me downstairs for something, and i would ignore him for a good 15 mins each time this occured. It went on for a good two months before this one day came around, where he called me once, and when he heard no response he walked up to my room and put his foot through my sega genisis. To this day i tell him he owes me $80 for it. He tells me I owe him over 100k for feeding and clothing me for 19 years....i normally retract my request at this point. Oh well....at least I know what a sega's guts look like.

Tree's already halfway to becoming morbidly obsese & never mating.

Since you can't hit the little f***ers because they call social services on you. What better way to punish them that taking something they really enjoy away.

xbox??? what is this, the 70s??? geez man.

Wish I had the money to waste like that. Dad's a douche. He could have sold the damn thing on Craigslist or something for $50, where maybe some more deserving kid who couldn't have otherwise afforded one could have gotten it. Could havebeen a good lesson for his brats. Instead, he has only his smug self-satisfaction that he bought it, so he did what he wanted to with it -- he shows them!

No wonder his kids are punks.

jokes on the dad since he paid for it

#13 they may call social services, but it will take them 15 minutes to get to your home, in that time someone is getting an ultimate beating they will remember for life. oh and the parent will get off with a warning the first time :D so beat that child!

As a father, I approve.

His sons owe him a huge apology for their behavior.

I simply remove my children's privileges if they get out of hand. Won't leave the computer to come to dinner? Fine. No computer access for you for a couple days. If they fight over something, no one gets to use it. To destroy the disharmonious object means that the fighting wasn't being curbed - the children were slow learners or too immature for the game.

X marks the spot... when the kids figured out that ole' dad's now going into a retirement home when he gets older.

I can't wait to do that to my sons XBOX. As he is 2 now by the time he starts acting like a punk he'll cherish it as much as most of the F1RSTtards love their NESessy.

@15, by destroying the Xbox the father left no alternative action to chance. I betting that during the time the thing is being put up for sale the kids are already working on mom to get their game back.

When I was a kid I never dared get my father mad. He always got our respect and he deserved it.

@21

Amen to that. If your father demands respect, give it to him. If you don't oblige him, tough luck for you.

@Jordan No parent has the right (and I'm a grandparent) to DEMAND any thing for their children. If their parenting skills as so abysmal they have not EARNED respect, demanding it is inappropriate.

These parents need to be reported the CPS because anything this over the top is a symptoms of a deeper, more dysfunctional relationship.

HAHA...Id love to do that to my kids. The only problem is I a) Dont have any kids yet (thank god if they drive to acts of violence against electronics) and b) It would probly be my X-box or Ps3 or my wifes Wii (it hurts to much to think about. If my dad would have done this he would have shot himself...

First of all, i actually thought about putting this in my first post, but decided against it in hopes that I could be "that guy." The gigantic prick that decided to make smart ass remarks in regards to other peoples comments.. But, as the day grew long, it gnawed on me, and i decided to post it even in objection to my "i'm an asshole" nature.

It might be something worth looking at.

or something similar.

/cry

I don't know why parents are proud...or why they even choose to be parents. I hated my parents because they were failures, as are 90% of parents nowadays, and you f***ers are PROUD? Proud that your kids are punks and that you get off to punishing them? You're twisted. And I bet your kids will grow up to either be serial killers, hippies, or uptight businessmen with sick fetishes.

People who become parents are slaves to their biological imperatives. And thus, pathetic.

By the way, save the psychoanalysis I know you want to perform on me for your faggot children.

conveniently an older x-box. i don't believe this is real.

what a way to put "the X" to a rest.

I wish i had that kind of money to nail to a tree to teach kids a lesson.

Well shows how rich these people are my parents wont even get a gameboy advance

My father has done similar. A foot to a Old School Nintendo and a sledge hammer to Nintendo 64. Its funny he'd play them too.
