Furious parents auction daughter's One Direction tickets on eBay

Quote:

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.

Doubt they would write all that information about hanging at older guys houses and so on if it was genuine

Probably fake but if not then she needs a very big chill pill.

I think she gets her lippy attitude from the mother...

..this is a bit like the father who shot his daughter's laptop..whatever the daughter did, I don't understand parents wanting to 'get one over' in public..she just sounds like a ridiculous woman...

I think it's great!
She sounds like a little mare, mum 1 kid 0 :laugh:

yay public humiliation and treating your children like ****

i'm all for being punished or whatever, but public humiliation is just wrong IMO

It you're going to sell the tickets, just sell them. don't write about how much a brat your daughter and her friends are

Sounds very false to me. Some ticket tout getting attention by the look of it.

If not, then I pity the poor daughter having such a trashy parent.

Not the tickets, the story, It's a good way to drum up interest and get a bit of a bidding war going imo!

If you look at the revisions, you will see the description has been altered. I'm guessing after she calmed down and realised it was getting attention across the world she amended it.

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.

If it is genuine, it is in pretty poor taste, put the tickets up for sale, no need for the rant, she should have saved that for a private conversation.

People need to stop being so soft. A bit of embarrassment never hurt anyone, I could name countless times my mother embarrassed me. I look back and cringe with laughter at the things she has done and some of the punishments she handed out.

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....
