Violence is never acceptable and smashing up their stuff is violence. Is it as bad as direct physical violence? No, of course not, but that doesn't make it OK. I used to be firmly of the opinion that people hitting / trashing "things" wasn't a big problem so long as they never actually hurt a person; but it isn't. It's aggressive, it's intimidating, and it's utterly wrong-headed. It's wrong even with another adult, let alone child, who is totally at the mercy of adults.

Yes it's "her money and her decision" - if her decision is that they aren't to have them any more then fine. Take them away permanently. Sell them. Donate them to a school, maybe? Absolutely no need to "make a point" by losing the rag and smashing them up. A pretty clear sign to all involved (including the kids) that she had lost control of the situation and of herself, and yeah, that IS "bad parenting".

And yes all parents make errors. An incident of bad parenting doesn't make someone a bad parent. But you can look back on your less-than-perfect moments and say "OK... I didn't handle that very well" and try to learn something from it, instead of becoming indignant and holding it up as a badge of honour as if there's nothing to regret.

Great post

What a waste and a terrible message to send to her kids.

Hopefully the next series of Location, Location, Location is just Phil finding foster parents for her kids

It is a waste, but to be fair - it is HER money.

Perhaps she is as equally scathing of the lower-paid and those in receipts of benefits who drink, smoke, take drugs or gamble or live on takeaways?

Imagine the furore on here were she to publicly express such views?

Look
she can afford it.
And her kids understand RULES.

[AnnieK]

Whether she can afford it or not doesn't really matter to me. Its the point that she has advocated willful destruction of property to her kids and that if someone doesn't do what you want then the answer is to react like that. What stops her children lashing out and hitting actual people if they don't do what they want? Its all learned behavior and as a parent you have to set examples.

what a disgraceful example she is setting

Exactly

But she does make a good christmas card!

It's alright when you've got enough money to just smash up an iPad like it's nothing isn't it eh?
