"revoking a gift" ?????

that is not on.

punishment yes, but there is a saying where i come from

Geschenkt ist geschenkt,

wiederholen ist gestolen.

a gift is a gift

taking it back is stealing (it)

punishment if necessary, yes, but take back a gift? that does not teach good manners either.

That's pretty disgusting if it's for real. If not for real then it's just try hard from a person that has never had children.

That's nasty.

Sure the girl(s) clearly stuffed up (saying you are having a sleepover and then heading to some guys place) but putting your business all over a sale is not on.

I hope someone bids seriously high and then doesn't pay so the tickets remain unsold...

That's just terrible, if it's for real. Mind you, it sounds like the way my lady from the Dr's the other day might carry on in a few days time.

IMO, you cant reward bad behaviour.

This girl has been bad, take away the reward

100% for this sale and I think the mother is doing a good job in this modern day age. You got to hit them where it hurts.

Just imagine your girl going for a sleepover with an older man???

I do however wonder why the mother did not call the other parents to confirm the sleepover? I never let my son go anywhere without first confirming that the host family knew what was going on.....

Fair enough, but not so publicly. That's above and beyond imo

btw, the gift hadnt actually been given yet.

All my punishments for my kids are taking away things that i have given them. Heck, i even take away things they have brought for themselves.

My kids brought themselves ipods and they are the first things i take off them when they are naughty.

Miss 12 has also lost her brand new Vanes shoes for giving me cheeck the day after she got them.

good on the mum for doing so .

i think if she wanted to sell the tickets she should of done a BIN

as it is now up to over 31,000

and no one has true intentions of paying that money.

I don't believe the story anyway because no mother would say to her daughter "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!!!"

That's pretty disgusting. Maybe if she wasn't such a horrible mother then she wouldn't have a lippy wayward daughter

i actually messaged the seller and said i support what she is doing and that her ausction has it global on facebook

She replied that she is in shock and has received over 1000 emails.

I saw someone had posted a link to her auction on the Sunrise fb page as well

I'd say the kids in question are bidding on these tickets themselves to make absolutely certain that nobody will buy them at such a ridiculous price, in the hope that the mother will finally relent and allow them to go to the concert after all, rather than losing out on the tickets altogether.

Re: A parents revenge!

daydream**believer — Sat, 21 Sep 2013 00:21:57 GMT

ohh yeh, a "horrible mother" that spends at least $500.00 on tickets to a concert for her daughter and 3 friends.

*insert eye roll*

Re: A parents revenge!

daydream**believer — Sat, 21 Sep 2013 00:22:54 GMT

IS there someting she can do to the auction to get rid of the silly bidders?

Re: A parents revenge!

Threads like these tells you a lot about people.

Re: A parents revenge!

daydream**believer — Sat, 21 Sep 2013 00:31:27 GMT

yes, they sure do

Re: A parents revenge!

latina4621 — Sat, 21 Sep 2013 00:33:17 GMT

i don't think she can daydream

unless she cancels all the bids and changes it to a BIN listing and get people to email her first with their intentions.

or she gets a friend to sell them for her without mentioning it all.

Re: A parents revenge!

latina4621 — Sat, 21 Sep 2013 00:35:07 GMT

you must live a sheltered life if you think parents wouldn't say that to their kids.

i wouldn't say it to mine but there are parents out there who do.

Re: A parents revenge!

cq_tech — Sat, 21 Sep 2013 00:36:11 GMT

I've emailed her and suggested that she cancel the auction and relist the tickets as BIN with payment required immediately, so that none of the kids or their friends will be able to buy them then not pay. 😉
