Hero Dad Sells His Disrespectful Son’s Truck On Craigslist

When you’re a parent, it’s only natural for your little ones to get under your skin sometimes. And when you’re a parent of a teenager, it’s only natural for you to want to occasionally teach your kid a lesson they’ll never forget!

When we recently shared this story about mom who decided to give her bully of a step-daughter a taste of her own medicine by sending her to school in thrift store clothing, parents were torn on whether “shaming” the mean pre-teen was the way to go. However, we believe that a little tough love can be a good thing and in the case of angry Florida dad Allan Geiger Jr., we completely agree with his decision on punishing his teen son.

“I’ve been having some issues with my son over the past year,” Gieger told CNN. “I don’t want to see him struggle the way I did.”

After buying his son a used Ford Explorer for his birthday to get to school and work, Geiger was disappointed when he instead disrespected his parents by using it for joyrides with friends and a place to smoke weed.

Geiger decided to teach his son a lesson by posting the car for sale on Craigslist for just $250, even asking the buyer to occasionally drive by his teen to show him how good he had it.

The frustrated dad said it was a last resort, as talking to his son didn’t help and even though the car stole almost instantly, he left the post up as a reminder.

“It’s been an eye-opening experience,” Geiger Sr. told CNN. “He’s started talking to me about helping him reach his new set of goals.”
