View Full Version : Furious parents auction daughter's One Direction tickets on eBay

Any good parent knows that to make a punishment stick, you’ve got to get creative. Getting grounded is nothing compared to customized consequences. Just ask the Australian girl whose mother put her One Direction tickets up for auction on eBay.
It’s not just one ticket, either, but four—apparently purchased for the daughter’s birthday so that she and a few friends could see the massively popular boy band live in concert. Alas, it was not to be, as a pattern of misbehavior among this clique of young ladies forced mom to play her trump card, shaming the kids in the process.
The screed was posted along with the tickets (the current bid is a whopping $760.00 AU and sure to climb still higher) is really too good to summarize. It’s a bit unhinged and brutally frank, with a merciless sense of ultimate judgment, and borders on a declaration of revenge.
THIS AUCTION IS FOR ALL 4 ONE DIRECTION TICKETS IN SYDNEY OCTOBER 25th. You can thank my daughters self righteous and lippy attitude for their sale. See sweety? And you thought I was bluffing. I hope the scowl on your bitchy little friends faces when you tell them that your dad and i revoked the gift we were giving you all reminds you that your PARENTS are the ones that deserve love and respect more than anyone. And your silly little pack mentality of taking your parents for fools is one sadly mistaken. Anyhow. Your loss someone else's gain who deserves them! THE TICKETS ARE SEATED IN ROW O section 57. REMEMBER AUCTION IS FOR ALL 4 TICKETS and will be sent registered post
...OH YOUR FRIENDS THOUGHT THAT A FEW PRANKS CALLS WOULD PUT ME OFF SELLING THE GIFT WE BOUGHT FOR THEM for YOUR BIRTHDAY because YOU all LIED to us about sleep overs so you could hang like little trollops at an older guys HOUSE????? Pffft!! I find it HIGHLY amusing that you girls think you invented this stuff. Tricks like this on OUR parents is how HALF of you were conceived .....And why a lot of your friends DONT have an address to send that Fathers day card to!!! I'm not your friend. I'm your MOTHER. And I am here to give you the boundaries that YOU NEED to become a functional responsible adult. You may hate me now..... But I don't care. Its my job to raise a responsible adult..not nuture bad habits in my teen age child
Think she was angry when she wrote that? You have to wonder if this is parental discipline so much as it is a ploy to make sure these apparently fatherless undesirables shut the daughter out of their social circle forever. We just hope that night with the older guy was worth it.

The child was hardly tarred and feathered and dragged through the streets. In the digital age that is exactly how you get your children. In my opinion.

I actually disagree, because although I do understand what you mean - this would be a lot more effective, I also think it would be a gateway for bullying.
This happened in Australia and it's managed to get to a small forum in the UK. Imagine how many people know about it. How many people will tease her. How many will essentially bully her. The internet is a horrific place for taking the dignity of teenagers everywhere...
If it's true anyway. It seems pretty fake to me.

you find out your daughter and he friends have been playing you for a fool and more than likely having under age sex!, so yea she needs to chill out:nono:
..it hasn’t got anything to do with being soft...she says that as parents they deserve love and respect more than anyone..then she should try to set an example to earn that and concentrate on getting the trust of her daughter and building a relationship so her daughter doesn’t feel she has to lie to her, instead of the example she is showing by ranting on ebay...and what sort of hypocrite does it make her to more or less say that she did similar things when she was young...just a silly attention seeking lady....there is good parenting and there is bad parenting, there is no 'deserving' parenting....

Puts hand up. Not criticising the action of selling the tickets as punishment if that is what it is, just don't see the need for the online rant, does everything these days has to be played out on line including berating your offspring?. Still not convinced it is real, just a way of maximising profit on the tickets, and it's working so hats off to the business brain who came up with the idea.

Funny where the line is drawn.... at 24 you can do anything almost and be excused for it it seems, smuggle drugs...piss everywhere....
But the minute you have a child this miraculous event occurs and you morph into mother earth?...
No, it doesn't work like that you still retain your own personality. Reading through this person has been taken for a fool, lied to and humiliated by their own daughter initially, how must that feel?
2 wrongs don't make a right, but to experience the same feelings and emotions as you inflict on others can be a good life lesson.
It's evident they as a parent felt humiliated, embarrassed and exasperated, parenting teens is more mentally exausting as you see the dangers or have experienced them yourself, and yet they can't....
I really hope that this teen understands when this dies down that sometimes it is necessary to go to extremes to make yourself clear, or to make a point... if you think your child is at risk or in danger you do anything, it may seem unconventional even slightly nuts to some, but when you feel that scared and desperate I totally understand how she could get to that point.

What in your opinion is good parenting dezzy?
It's not low it's unorthadox but horses for courses everyone is an individual, there is no universal manual for raising children.
The teen may never forgive her, then again she may just be shocked into realising the depth of feeling involved here?

Good parenting is being a good example to the kids, you can't expect someone's behaviour to improve if a parent behaves in a similar way. You need to hold yourself to a higher standards if you want your kids to do the same. Kids tend to take after their parents in both good and bad ways, you just have to pass on as much of the good as possible.

She was taught a lesson in one of the few ways you can get at children these days. 10 years from now the girl will probably laugh at it.
Daves already told our daughter that if she goes to high school in a few years and becomes a problem teenager he will go and collect her from the school gates in a dress. Teenagers react well to embarrassment. ;)

..I would say there isn’t anyone on this forum who either isn’t a parent or has a parent, which makes no one more or less qualified to express an opinion on this mother and her style of parenting in how she dealt with this..(if it is true..)...of course people who aren’t parents have an equally valued opinion on what a ‘good parent’ is as most of them have them, themselves and look to them for guidance and as examples of how to deal with the things that stretch them in life, which we all face sometimes...in my opinion taking the tickets was a good call but the rest (and if it is true)..is nothing but self-gratifying attention for herself....but hey ho, it’s the internet age....

I don't have to be a parent to know that it's not right to publically imply my child and her friends were all accidents, call them all bitches and trollops (sic), and generally set out to humiliate them in the first place. This could've been done without the high and mighty public service announcements.
People seem to think squatting a person through your legs gives you automatic morality points. This is a clear example of the contrary.

Exactly. Any idiot can have a baby. And yes, there's no moral way to raise your child - everyone makes mistakes, but this is plain wrong.
If it was true, I honestly think it wouldn't have ended well for this girl. People would know who she was (come on, it's the internet, people would figure it out) and she would get teased to no end...

Good luck with raising a child in the perfect and idealistic way :joker:
You are being naive if you think you could raise a child without making mistakes and regretting some of the ways you handled things along the way.
Nobody said what this woman did was right not even herself but that didnt stop people judging her as a parent on this one thing. The fact it has been ammended already shows it was probably done in the heat of the moment.
Stupid comments such as "People seem to think squatting a person through your legs gives you automatic morality points" are hilarious. pretentious much?
Good luck being the perfect parent and making perfect decisions you obviously must be better at it and know so much more than everybody else.
I am a mother of 4 aged 21,20 ,17 and 8.I have no problem with revoking the tickets as a punishment,but if this is true (which I doubt) the mother comes across as an attention seeker.
..no one said that they were a perfect parent or never made mistakes, of course every parent muddles through and makes decisions that they think are best and the most they can hope is that they make more good ones than bad ones....but what this woman did has only caused this attention because of the extremity of what she did, not in taking the tickets away because a lot of parents would do the same and that isn’t really very interesting stuff for people to read about, is it....but in making that statement on Ebay, which was completely unnecessary and imo just attention seeking for herself ...so if you do something like that which is so extreme..you’re going to get opinions on it, aren’t you because this isn't 'average, everyday' parenting...but isn’t that the point of it in the first place...she has the attention she wanted at the expense of others, including her own daughter...

Well, it was a pretty immature thing for the mother to have done, especially calling her daughters friends trollops and bitches. It's something that deserves judgmental comments imo, just like that mother made some very judgmental comments about other people children, atleast we're all making them about an adult who chose to put her warped punishment out there for all to see

Even if she lied to you about having a sleep over at her friends and spent the night with some older guy instead? I could :laugh:
I know Niamh,I'de be furious,I'de be happy to ground her or take away her TV etc,I just think selling her 1D tickets and declaring it for all to see is far too hard,told you I'm a soft touch:hugesmile:
I hope her daughter has cried so much that she has no energy left.

But make sure you arent too harsh to her.
..yeah of course parents don’t always make the ‘right’ decision ..there isn’t a ‘right’ decision anyway, we all do what we think is the right thing and you don’t have to have children of your own to say what you think is right and what isn’t..but this isn’t about that, it’s not about her decision to take back the tickets..it’s about making that decision so public, which we definately don’t all do...if we feel our children’s actions deserve a sanction, then we enforce it without needing any declarations because it’s between us and our children..she didn’t even just declare it to friends and family but to the vastness of the internet, which she then has no control over..so she herself invited all opinions about it...
So the daughter is allegedly getting shafted by older men but had tickets to go see one direction? She must be about 13 or 14 that's disgusting at least she can listen to some proper music now, every cloud and all that....

Ah yes good point. I guess this is all fair then

That's a bit of a conclusion to leap to, she could be 16 and the older guy could be 17 or 18

So her parents respond to reckless and irrational behaviour with equally reckless and irrational behaviour. Makes total sense.
..the Ebay listing only said 'so that she and her friends could hang at an older guy's house..'..to me that means 'hang out'...so I think that's a lot bigger judgement to assume it was something more...and quite a disturbing judgement if they were indeed 14/14yrs..but their age would just be an assumption as well...

Well I guess there will always be a few outside the 13 year old screaming fan girls bracket :dance:

Yes I'm aware the eBay listing didn't say her daughter and her friends were doing the monkey business with the guys but I doubt they are going over to play snakes and ladders......

..tbh I think that's just highlighted the dangers of saying what she did on the internet about young vulnerable girls...you just don't know what assumptions and judgements could be made and in light of bullying/suicides etc, it's a very dangerous thing to do...
..referring to young girls as 'trollops' and one of those girls is your own daughter as well is pretty much leaving them open to judgements from strangers who could then bully them..that's a very serious thing...
Slut shaming your own daughter on the internet is pretty awful parenting in my opinion; but I think selling her daughter's tickets is fair enough - I don't know their situation but from what was said, it seems like the daughter and her friends lied about what they were doing and were pretty pleased with themselves and were found out by the parents who were naturally furious that their child was taking the piss out of them. Tough love but I'm sure it'll teach her a lesson.

Where's my post gone as well? It wasn't insulting, offensive or stirring?

The part of Ammis post which you asked her about was referring to a deleted post and was not about the topic in this thread, it has now been removed from Ammis post.
Now can we get back on topic please?

If it was real it would be horrendous parenting... If this woman WAS her teenage daughters friend rather than her authoritarian keeper, then maybe the girl wouldn't feel like she needs to lie to her in the first place.
99% sure its not real though, just a ticket tout getting their eBay listing to go viral for a higher sale price.
