Father of Daughters #47 Clemente, come back, the world has mostly forgotten.

[Dogmuck]

hey hoopers glad you stopped by

Many teenagers I know block their parents from their socials. This could be the first they hear of their 14 year old daughter smoking and drinking. Not unheard of I’d say for kids who live in dead seaside towns with nowt else to do, but still pretty grim to see. I think a few instamums may regret the move out of London in time. I also know of someone who had a psychotic breakdown after smoking copious amounts of weed and ruined his life. It’s a slippery slope IMO.

Re the sad old seaside town, my thoughts exactly. People think drugs and antisocial behaviour in kids is exclusively an inner city problem. There’s so much more for kids to do to keep them out of trouble in cities, but these supposedly idyllic seaside towns and rural villages have nothing to occupy teens and they are young and want thrills...smoking drinking drugs are readily available. Especially when your parents are not interested in you because they are either spending most of their day filming and editing pointless videos to upload to 500k bots or hanging out with a bunch of Tory gammons on the beach, at boat clubs or at spoons. START PARENTING you pair of wankers.

And her profile is now private

Saw that coming, kid is probably getting a bollocking right now.

We’ve all been there. Lesson learnt for the pup. Nobody died she’ll get over it. The Hoopers will be more concerned with their embarrassment and image and not their daughters.

Definitely an entry for their Wiki page.

Gotta say my grandkids had their childhood marred by the behaviour of their mother but they are fine young adults now. Very proud of them both.

The Hooper daughter has grown up watching those two wankers bragging about anything & everything on social media, why wouldn’t she think it was ok to post those pictures.
Gee her & fodney maybe even shared the joint before ‘clubbing’ together at their bestival.

It’s not that grim round here!

I guess the big dilemma for FOD now is does he co-opt A’s drug and alcohol use for sweet, sweet content and concern from his hun-gang or attempt to brush it under the carpet.

Cue “more in sadness than in anger” instastory of him walking the dogs and asking his followers for advice on teens smoking spliff while wearing a grubby knitted hat.

Perhaps he should have set a better example.

 

[Pommes]

Either A is hugely rebellious or this isn’t a new habit/activity. I can’t imagine she started smoking this summer to be in a position confident enough to publish it on an open social media page which is commented on by her parents. Maybe she hid the story from them?

 

[LyraBalaqua]

I’ve had teenagers , the experimenting with booze and cigarettes was something we had to deal with, it’s not easy either if you don’t want them sneaking around behind your back. I wasn’t a laid back parent either.

Is Anya 14? I’d be really concerned where she is to be lighting up a spliff and knocking back cider and happy to have it recorded.

 

[cleopatrascat]

There is something uncomfortable about sharing what she has done on a forum like this, but I hope that the end result is that she is smarter in her choices. Teenagers are going to experiment and smoke and drink, that’s a given. It’s the conversation we have with them about responsibility that is key.

 

[BatteredVeg]

I agree that it’s uncomfortable but also hope they are smarter in their choices too. The “adult headaches”, the booze filled trollies inside and out, the cocktails at camping and dumping your kids with nannies while you go off partying with your mates at festivals. They have two younger children who are also growing up in an environment where alcohol is associated with fun (or this is what they show us anyway) Maybe time they grow up as well.

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

Given the fact she’s been pimped out for likes and free kitchens for the last 5 years can’t say I blame her for having a dabble and trying to be more cool and not part of the Instagram Walton family her parents have been trying to depict.

This is exactly it, also it’s not surprising she has no personal boundaries with what she shares on socials when everything from ambulance runs to temper tantrums to naked bath time have been shared of them. It’s really fucked up and I feel SO sorry for their kids.

 

[Bizziebody]

I hope it’s a lesson for her foolish parents to quit s.m. , sharing the Hooper life has backfired, so time to stop moaning, start parenting.. What’s the bet the long lockdown is to blame for her behaviour.? Kids will rebel & experiment, don’t film it to show off to your mates.

 

[Emmadale]

Knew I’d wake up to Anya’s account being made private/closed!

Bet ST would shudder in her furry Birkenstock’s at the thought of her teen smoking a spliff or necking cider….doesn’t fit with the Red magazine image!

 

[Axatogrind]

Surely he wouldn't even THINK about using this as content for himself. Potentially jeopardise his daughter's job/career prospects even more than he has already for the sake of an instagram post?

In the olden days it could have been a faux profound post about growing up and difficult conversations being made fun over a Hello FreshTM meal you’ve prepared #together. Now it’ll be some boundaryless tit that spells it out for the thick huns, followed up with a wonga ad or another CBT discount code.

 

[EllsBellsWells]

Certainly not going to suggest that every teenager does stuff like this, but it’s not unusual. What is weird is that she made it all public- I genuinely think this sort of thing might be a reaction to how she has been brought up. Like absolutely zero fucks being given if she’s putting it on Instagram- dunno, just feel like this might be even more of a rebellion than the act itself. And maybe that’s because the parents have pretty much wrecked their kids lives.

I have always felt very sorry for these kids, it is basically a form of neglect? And I echo other comments that users here have said many times before, if they were a working class family they would be dragged through the dirt for all the abusive stuff they’ve done to their kids over the years.

Thread title# 48 Goodbye FOD, time to get your house in order before it’s too late.

 

[Tattlingpineapple]

I guess I'm naive but I'm really surprised that they are still here and read their threads? I kind of thought they had moved on and stopped caring about what other people think about them?

Kind of feel sorry for A. She's still a kid, kids make mistakes and I mean she never had parents who taught her what to (not) do on social media. That conversation must me going well.

Clemmie (who constantly shared photos / stories of her drinking / going out with friends to have a break from her kids):

Drinking is bad and having a public profile is dangerous!!!

FOD: Yeah!!! Be careful with what you share. Your profile should be private. Stuff you share could have a really negative impact. What if future employers see photos of you drinking.

A: Yeah... Right. Thanks for the advice.
