I think as you become older, you want to naturally pay back your parents for the sh*t you bestowed on them for all those years. It seems only reasonable, probably part of the reason, I have not given them grandchildren yet. But shooting her laptop then posting it might backfire, she might really resent that later in life, she might laugh, but I'm pretty sure she will get the message. That after all her complaining, and she probably has done a lot more than we know about, eventually she will realise that her life is supported all by her parents. I dont doubt that somewhere along the lines of taking the laptop, loading a gun, and off loading it into the laptop, he has forgotten that being a teenager is very tough and emotional.
