ummm, did it ever occur to them it's their fault the kids are rotten?

//was anyone else expecting them to be sleeping in one of the cars that's out there?

They should try actually not spoiling their children. Moving outside is just another way to give-in tho the spoiled little farks.

"YOU SPOILED BASTARD, YOU THINK YOU OWN THIS HOUSE! WELL FINE, BYE. I'LL BE OUT FRONT IF YOU WANT A GRILLED CHEESE! *kiss kiss*"

/Stupid parents

***SLAP*** to the parents
What the fark is wrong with you people?!

***SLAP*** to the kids
Listen to your farking parents or I kill you since they don't have the balls to.

/can't wait to have kids of my own to discipline

This sounds like the plot of a really, really bad Disney movie. The kind that stars Tim Allen AND Kirsty Ally AND some blonde kids that you've never heard of.

They learned their kids real good!

It'd be so much easier to just beat the kids until they're well-bruised. They'll be more receptive to your guidance then.

The kids should change the locks and throw a party.

Parents have become so damn spineless over the last decade. Next we'll have a "Child's Union" and kids will strike and picket every time they have to do chores.

I'm assuming this is all a backlash from the parents of the previous generation, and with any luck, the next generation of parents will be a hell of a lot harder on their kids.

Shouldn't the kids be the one sleeping in the tent? I'll be damned if I'm ever going to let my kids evict me from my own house.

"Today, on the Dr. Phil show...."

I'd have put the kids on the lawn, fark me moving out.

Ship them all off to Iraq, the kids and the parents.

"Mom's on Strike"

How is this newsworthy? Is Florida fresh out of old folks plowing through farmer's markets?

"I'm assuming this is all a backlash from the parents of the previous generation, and with any luck, the next generation of parents will be a hell of a lot harder on their kids."

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. This current "me" generation is every bit as self absorbed as the last generation.

Great. Now the rest of us will have to deal with these future paragons of virtue. Note to parents: don't crank out fark trophies if you're not prepared to discipline them.

"Their kids admit they could do more to help out around the house. But they expect their parents will give up the stunt in a few more days."

How tacky! Kids can see their parents trying to do something drastic and all they'll do it sit on their fat pampered arses!

Now from the department of: "It seemed like a good idea at the time"

"And while your on your way out to your tent mom, why don't you take the trash out with you ?"

Is there a shortage of belts on Florida?

AcornMan: Shouldn't the kids be the one sleeping in the tent? I'll be damned if I'm ever going to let my kids evict me from my own house.

Unfortunately, the moment one of the kids whines to some nosy, busybodied adult that "I'm kicked out, my mommy doesn't love me," Child Protective Services will be at the door faster than you can say "Kid-Snatching, Fascist Farkheads."

Mind you, I'm not against ALL the actions of CPS, just the ones based on one action that is blown out of proportion by people who don't have children, but think they know how to raise them better than a parent does.

/Has no children.
//Keeps his nose out of the business of people who do.
///Has seen WAY too many children run around malls like it's their farking playground while the parent doesn't even try to control them...

My money is on the kids outlasting the parents.
This should have the dumbass (dumbasses) tag.

This comment is from the PCP thread, but it works here too:

>>I'm kind of surprised that they didn't just shoot him

That would make it a Michigan tag, not a Florida tag.

I think just the thought of Dad "pitching a tent" with Mom would be enough to make me scrub the whole house spotless.

Shouldn't the kids be the ones living in the tent in the front yard? That's what my 'rents would have done.

Kudos to the parents! Teach them little bastards a lesson.

Also...to the farkers getting on the parents case...do you have kids?

I think this is a good idea. The parents move out, the house gets trashed. Parents move back in, and sue for damage caused by the house sitters. Then evict the kids. Also, running the juice on those damages would be great.

With mad parenting skillz like that I can't understand how the kids got messed up in the first place.

While it is an interesting idea, I doubt it will work. The kids already don't mind living in filth, so watching it pile up won't bother them.

Beat their arses, take away all their computers, gaming consoles, and cell phones.

I once took away my daughter's entire room, made her sleep on the couch. It worked.

Curious, all those people saying they'll never let their kids rule the house...how many of you actually have kids?

Anyone without children should just STFU and stay far far away from any thread having to do with parenting, because until you've been there, you don't know shiat.

Any story on Fark that has pitched and tent in it makes me happy.

Oh, and seriously parents, control your kids. If you don't know how to, then you should have thought more about a rubber earlier on.

They should start with a different kind of strike *SLAP*

the part where they had to beg and plead with the children to help out and do chores is embarassing.... if i didn't help my parents with the chores i would be the one in the tent... and hungry... and without any money.

So, the kids win then. How about sending the KIDS out to live in a tent, the little shiats!

I don't have kids yet, but I have parents... and I think this is funny. :D

nothing that a couple of backhands wont take care off...

It's called "spanking." Hopefully it doesn't get that bad, but when it does, tan their hides.

Rebo Firemead

Right on! I was thinking the same thing. Let them get unruly kids and see how they deal with it.

Should have Happened:

Parents Pitch Rotten Kids into Front Yard, Strike Them With Soft Impact Weapon, Kids Now Living In Tent City

Got nobody to blame for your farking stupid lazy kids? Look in the mirror, dumbass.

What happened to the good old days when parents sat down with their kids, talked to them and beat em?

Im not planning on having kids.. NEENER NEENER :D

hehe.

I'll stay out of your hair, if you keep your kids out of mine. Deal? :)

Move out of the house? WTF? The bible says that parents can kill disobedient children. Bush won the election...shoot the little bastards.

Put them on those talk-shows where they take them to boot camp...those are hilarious
