It doesn’t get more awkward as a teenager than having to hang out with your parents.
When a Texas father discovered that his 17-year-old son was misbehaving at school, he considered the worst punishment he could administer.
He pondered confiscating his phone or suspending him, but then had an inspired suggestion that parents all across the world applaud. The teacher had previously advised the family that their adolescent son Brad spoke too much during class.
So his father, Bradley, chose to provide an option to his talkative kid.
For some reason, he said that if they get another call, he is going to show up at school and sit next to him in class.
His kid didn’t take him seriously and continued to interrupt his physics class, upsetting both the teacher and the students.
But when Dad Brad got another call about his son’s troublesome conduct, he knew it was time to keep his word.
Dad Brad didn’t want to do it, but he had no choice but to shock his kid into compliance.
The next day, Brad strolled into his physics class as normal, only to find his father waiting for him beside his desk.
The other adolescents in the class laughed at Brad’s expense as they watched him struggle with his father sitting next to him.
Mollie, Brad’s sister, also had a good chuckle when her father showed up in Brad’s class and posted the tale on social media.
Denise Howard, her mom, also tweeted about her husband’s activities.
Brad senior, like his wife, thinks this is a one-time occurrence because he wasn’t yet ready to attend a high school classroom.
It’s wonderful to see parents keep their promises. Discipline is essential, as is educating your teen to appreciate teachers.
Share your thoughts on whether Brad senior did the right thing!
