Today, my daughter's obsession with Canada got out way of hand when she was suspended for climbing up the flagpole, in an attempt to replace the flag with a red-and-white maple leaf one. FML

OP here. I made an account so I could follow up. For those of you doubting my parenting: in my household, no banshee-like deed goes unpunished. Yes, this was a school suspension, for those unsure, and it was three weeks, which is pretty reasonable. Sadly, this is a continuation jr. high school for kids who've been permanently expelled (I'm surprised no one asked why she's still in school during the summer), where banshee-like behaviors such as this are not rare.

She has passion for something that's not drugs or sex. Be proud.

You had one job as a parent OP... Keep her off the pole. And you just couldn't do that, now could you?

Why does she have an obsession over Canada

first off, your daughter, that you have raised, is a retard. second, I hope that if the American flag had landed on the ground (if she'd managed to get it off without falling and costing you countless dollars in medical bills the rest of her heart-monitored life), there would have been a member of the service there to chastise her for her blatant disrespect of the flag that brave men and women have paid the ultimate price to protect. as a parent you should be ashamed. as an American soldier, I'm ashamed for you.

As much as I respect and appreciate veterans, having been in the military doesn't give you a free pass to be an asshole. It's extremely rude to insult OP's daughter that way, and to use such a hurtful slur in doing so. I'd rather have a kid that was "unpatriotic" than a bigot.

For the record, I don't think you're a bad parent. I also love this post and think it's great :) Be glad your child is interested in learning about other countries, and keep her spirits high! Good luck OP.

There's a difference between having a healthy interest in other countries and attempting to vandalise property and in the process show disrespect for her country's flag.

I'm not doubting your parenting styles from her climbing the pole and such; that's a stupid prank thing kids do sometimes. But I am doubting your parenting cause your daughters about 13/14 and already at a continuation school and in summer school. Why don't you make sure she gets her shit done. School first, Canada later

Kids do stupid shit no matter how good their parents may be. This is admittedly and odd way of acting out, but it's not like OP has raised a violent drug addict.
