Have you been walking through the store recently only to notice a new, perplexing fashion trend? You know, the one that features young men wearing tight, calf-hugging jeans that sit below the butt. Well, one dad recently noticed his son taking part, and he wasn’t too pleased. So he did what has become popular in the YouTube age: he turned his tongue-lashing into a viral video.
In that video, the angry father can be heard telling his son how silly he looks, making him spin and do other tasks that are rendered impossible because of the jeans. Tasks such as squatting. And in fact, that failed task leads to probably the funniest line of the video: “I know your nuts hurt!”
There’s also this runner up: “You look like you stole a midget’s pants!”
But the son seems to take the ribbing in stride, laughing at times during the video.
The video is from July 5, but is just starting to make the rounds:
As you may have noticed from the captions, the dad has started a Facebook page called Say No to Saggin’ Skinny Jeans.

Posted on July 17, 2012 at 9:19amFor those complaining about dad’s “english”, so what? We, as parents, are NOT perfect….but we don’t HAVE to be perfect. What we need to be is concerned about our children! Dad is correct, 100%, Dad is great, dad has it right, dad is doing what dads need to do. I could care less about his unperfect grammer, its the body of the message that counts. Dad, I’d like to shake your hand! “Every knee will bow and every tongue confess”

Guys should never wear skinny jeans. No matter who you are they look really stupid. They look worse than saggin’ with baggy pants…at least baggy pants aren’t tight like girls jeans. But..everyone has a right to dress how they want. Making his son do this was a bit much. Let him do his thaang.

60′s hippy style
70′s disco fever, ball hugger shorts and sport socks pulled up high
80′s feathered & BIG hair, mullets, hightops, parachute & MC Hammer pants, polo + jean jackets, burnout look
90′s grunge & granola (burnout and preppy hippy redux)
00′s prison bit ch look (pants half way off), goth, skater redux, pop star drones
10′s styles are all rehashes 60-90′s mix and match.

Posted on July 17, 2012 at 1:55pmI have a child with autism and another who is severly ADHD. They are not the result of bad parenting. Now, are kids over diagnosed? Probably, but it IS a real diagnosis. I’ll ship my kid over to you without his medication for a week, and then let you keep him a while MEDICATED and tell me he’s over-diagnosed. The fact that aspergers (not asbergers) syndrome was blamed on “refrigerator mom’s” is from the 70′s, just like the theory that ADHD kids didn’t get beat enough. It’s like calling a Down syndrome child Mongoloid……which in that community is like the N word.

Posted on July 17, 2012 at 8:35amI’m sure many will disagree with me, but I believe there had to be a better way to deal with his son than humiliate him on a very public forum. This young man is in for some very hard times from his friends and the school he goes to. I agree with the father that the pants seem ridiculous to me, but I would not subject my child to this type of public humiliation over something like this. This type of parenting will build walls and possibly resentment within the son I believe. Just my thoughts, but I felt sorry for the youngster….

Your psycho-babble rationale over the relationship this will build between Father and Son is perfect too – a perfect example about “worrying” over the ability for this young man to stand up for himself at school is NOT an excuse to maintain rules and boundaries between a parent and their children. GOD BLESS this involved, engaged and savy Father. The young man doesn’t know (right now – but he will ) how lucky he is.

I am as conservative as it gets and I am probably one of the biggest advocates for discipline on this site. But make it APPROPRIATE discipline. This was not, it was demeaning to the young man. It sends the wrong message to this young man from his father. A private discussion about what attire is appropriate and why should have been the action taken if the son doesn’t listen then discipline in other ways. This was not appropriate if you truly care about your son.

Posted on July 17, 2012 at 1:10pmDo not be harsh with authority and do not exasperate your children are the biblical commands I rely on. I sure am glad God doesn’t humiliate us in the same way some of you would like when we mess up, I seem to recall Jesus saying cast ye the first stone who is without sin when the woman caught in adultery was drug out in public. He knew that she had been shamed in an inappropriate way and he saught to restore her dignity. Noah‘s sons walked in backward to cover their father’s shamefulness, they didn’t shout it out for all to see/hear. There is a certain diginity that needs to be maintained in the exercise of authority. Discipline is something done for the young man, not against him. To those who thinks it OK I have a question for you. If you mess up as an adult, would you appreciate the authority over you exposing you to everyone on youtube in the same demeaning fashion? It would be rather shameful and you probably wouldn’t like it at all…because it is creating a false sense of shame. Discipline is great when used appropriately, when used wrongly it can do more harm than good. I’m sure this young man will get over it and I hope his relationship with his dad is a good one, but I don’t think (as a father of 4 myself) this was wise.

Posted on July 17, 2012 at 1:39pm@ RIDDLE…even if he had tried other means it doesn’t justify this in my eyes. He is the father for goodness sake. He could literally put the brakes on his social life, phone, TV, Computer, assign extra work around the house, throw the jeans away if he wants to. It should be handle within the confines of the family and not exposed to the rest of the world. The goal of discipline is to encourage internal self governance by negative/positive reinforcement, not to shame/degrade a child into simply complying outwardly while developing a rebellious spirit inside that leads them to despise your discipline later on. This often leads to a rebellious spirit against authority later in life causing the person to rebel in various ways, sometimes minor, sometimes major….We are shepherding hearts not commanding robots or animals to bend to our will upon command. None of us like it, neither do kids…

Posted on July 17, 2012 at 2:20pmYou’ve got a point, but not knowing what transpired before the dad did the video, it may take on a whole different light. It’s very likely that he DID warn the teen to quit wearing those insane looking genes and put on some real clothes… and who knows, the kid may have defied his dad and even went so far as to challenge him on it. And as far as the kid being somehow psychologically affected…..I think everyone is in one way or another if they come from a dysfunctional home. But I think the only kids who are negatively marked for life are the ones who have parents who neglect and physically abuse them. But this dad obviously has genuine love for his child or he wouldn’t have gotten so upset about how his son was presenting himself to the world in such clownish pants. I mean….when it comes to the point that you can’t even bend over while wearing idiotic genes like that, then there‘s something sadly wrong with a person’s judgement and he needs a strong reprimand for it…..even if it is a public one.

Posted on July 17, 2012 at 2:41pm@MARESEB…while you may be entirely correct, by deduction the young man lQQked pretty obedient to me as he did everything the father asked in the video without hesitation despite its demeaning nature. I did not see an openly defiant young man, I saw a young man that exactly what he was told. Would you have stood in front of that camera as that young man did without running off?Couldn’t he as the father simply throw the jeans away? That is what I would do and if he got more I would throw those away.

Posted on July 17, 2012 at 4:08pm@ MARESEB…you make a good point. Public school can be humiliating enough without your Dad jumping on board too. A father can give discipline even strong discipline, but still maintain the child’s dignity. It is about shepherding a heart as a father. No one likes to be publicly shamed and for this offense, it hardly seems justifiable to me. This is really small potatoes in a world of sexual immorality, drugs, gangs, theft etc

Posted on July 17, 2012 at 7:44pmWhat 15 year old kid wouldn’t laugh when embarrassed on camera, should he start crying? That was not an insightful comment, and it still does not justify the actions of the father. It was not appropriate regardless of the young man did. The father should set the example even in the proper use of authority. Again, no one here would approve if they were being publicly demeaned for something especially this small by their parent. We have become an entirely too public society. There is no more healthy privacy anymore. Things that should remain between families are posted for all to see. It is not a healthy trend. And no amount of justifying makes OK or acceptable.

Posted on July 17, 2012 at 8:28amThe fact that the kid is laughing tells me that he KNOWS that Dad is right, but still wants to be fashionable.
As to his nuts, clothing that is too tight in the groin area increases their temperature and interferes wth sperm production. It’s the reason why testicles are designed to be OUTSIDE of the body. He might want to consider that.
That being said, skinny jeans where you can’t move are frankly, stupid. If yer pants are so tight that you can’t even bend over, they’re too tight. And personally, I think a guy that spends that much time worrying about what he looks like is probably going to be a prissy man. I don’t mean that as a sexuality reference, but refer to temperment. Always had a rule, never date a guy that spends as much or more time looking in the mirror than you do. He’ll basically just spend the rest of his life, staring at his own visage.
Dad may be rough around the edges, but from here it looks like his heart is in the right place. Sometimes stupid just needs to be called stupid.

Posted on July 17, 2012 at 8:15amThe father berates his son for the whole world to see, using horrible English because the teenager was acting like a teenager. I know for a lot of you, when you were teenagers, showing your ankles was a stoning offense, but times change. Kids always dress in a perceived rebellious way. Instead of acting like the teenager, dad should have acted like a dad and prohibited the purchase of the pants to begin with.
