I don’t think anyone watches any of the Real Housewife shows to get parenting tips, and if you ever thought any of those ladies would make good maternal role models, you might want to think again. Former Real Housewife of Atlanta Kim Zolciak recently posted a video to Snapchat of her 14-year-old daughter, Ariana, wearing the family dog’s shock collar. What? Why?

Apparently, Ariana offered to wear – and get zapped by – an electronic dog collar in exchange for being able to go out with her friends. Kim, who recently celebrated her 37th birthday (again?), called her daughter “crazy” while she put on the collar. Ariana said “I really like this” and before Kim’s husband Kroy Biermann gave her a jolt, you could hear him say to her, “But you can’t cry.” Sounds like something straight out of “Jackass”, doesn’t it? Only it’s not in the least bit amusing.

Kim continued her running commentary through the clip, saying, “You like getting shocked, you psycho? You two are not right,” She later added, “Are you guys idiots?! Who does this? These two are not right, I’m not even playing.” Oh, and Kim did offer an alternate to wearing the dog collar, helpfully offering Ariana the option to “Eat poop.” Yep, mother of the year. What an odd household. It’s no wonder Ariana has already expressed her interest in being emancipated and living with her sister. Check out the video from Entertainment Tonight.

Of course, the outrage was swift. A Real Housewife fan tweeted, “Sometimes in life you have to just not post things on social media. My word just sad that she posted what she did.” One person who was more surprised than outraged was Kim’s older daughter, Brielle, who jokingly questioned her sister’s sanity, writing, “Ariana what is wrong with you?”

As much as I think the while thing is dumb, it’s not like Kim forced her daughter to wear the thing – but her decision to post it to Snapchat might not have been the best idea. Kim told ET she liked the social media networks the best, as people can’t talk back and make comments about her posts, claiming “Snapchat is my newfound love.” As for her haters, Kim shrugs them off with a dismissive, “if you don’t like it, don’t look at my page.” Ugh.
