    Kids are bloody great at embarrassing parents and as they get older they think they know everything.
    I love to turn the tables and embarrass my kids in public or in front of their friends. Especially my 14 year old who I know is secretly smoking. I know his password for his email, facebook etc.
    What have you done or what do you do to get back at your kids by showing them up and embarrassing them?

    I posted this on another thread but it will also work in this instance. Firstly, set up a similar system to a rainwater harvesting system, except in reverse. Basically, a rainwater harvesting system catches rainwater and feeds it into your toilet water system. You want to do the opposite and catch your toilet waste (just liquids, no solids) and store it in a container with a tap on the end.

    Next, you want to look up the Super Soaker website. In my experience these are the most powerful water guns available. Look up the nearest local distributor, they are usually sold in good toy shops. Find the most powerful gun available and purchase it. Fill up the SuperSoaker with the contents of the waste barrell.

    Finally, once the gun is filled, you need to propel the urine in the general direction of your kids in a forceful manner

    Talk about sex openingly, it's an equal playing ground to embarrassing, both kids and parents, if your going to pick on someone, give them a chance to win :)

    Holy Jaysis derekeire, who needs enemies with a parent like you! :D

    On holidays once when I was younger my Dad procured a speedo, stuffed it with a packet of my mother's cotton wool pads (the type you use to remove make-up/nail polish) and strutted around the pool area, randomly striking poses and singing Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy". It was pretty embarrassing at the time, but also hilarious.

    A father trying to rap can be really mortifying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,780 ✭✭✭alie


    If you frap his Facebook page, you are leaving him open to bullying . Not a good idea.

    I feel like i missed out on this whole parents embarrassing me thing! Best save this thread for ideas so my daughter doesn't feel this deprived when she's older!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,791 ✭✭✭up for anything


    my 14 year old who I know is secretly smoking.


    Feck knowing his passwords, sometimes it's the only way to keep up or know what's going on in their lives. Also it means you can delete indiscreet or stupid stuff that they post on FB.

    The smoking bit however. Nip that in the bud. After too many years of being in thrall to the tobacco plant if I even thought one of mine was smoking I'd lock them in their room for a couple of weeks and make them go cold turkey and then continue to punish them till it wasn't worth their while picking up another cigarette. Luckily I think I've sickened all mine for them.

    Only female goats have kids.

    Ride his teacher and openly brag about it, he'll be mortified.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,780 ✭✭✭alie


    Have him eat a cigerette and see does he still like the taste.

    A bit of very discreet nosying on a teenager's fb page - and keeping quiet about it unless there are very serious issues showing up - is probably a good way of knowing what is going on. Using it for nasty, immature teasing/ bullying/ joking is pathetic. You are supposed to be the secure constant in his life, if that means being a bit boring then so be it. Who is he supposed to go to if he finds himself in trouble, someone who cannot be trusted? Grow up and be a father, not an obnoxious 'mate'.

    eh, try get him to stop smoking instead of playing pranks on your own kid?

    OP you're within your rights to know login details for email and facebook accounts. Please do something about him smoked before it's to late. Fraping his facebook isn't cool though. He won't thank you for it.

    Not if his teacher was a big gal.

    Or a man.

    you dont need advice on how to embarass your kids. I assure you , you already do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,251 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Clean his face with your spit and tissue in public.

    In terms of embarrassing childer, it works every time!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,677 ✭✭✭frozenfrozen


    Even people who beat their kids give them privacy

    With their Rainbow parties and their sexting and their other lewd behaviors the kids will probably know more than the parents :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,677 ✭✭✭frozenfrozen


    OP I think you should give him painkillers every 6 hours

    also this
    If they want to denormalize smoking for kids by banning it in public places, they should do the same for obesity and ban fat people from public places so that kids wont think its ok to be obese.

    this too

    Fat smokers should then be kept under house arrest in case they are seen by impressionable children.

    how is it a bit far? the child is only 14, a parent needs to know these things, it's being protective.
    Bet all in here giving out about the fact that a parent knows his 14 year old childs facebook password don't have kids

    This is my personal favourite
    I started smoking when I was 13. No one knew til I had left home at 18. Still smoke and have never been in any trouble.
