This is a win in my book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1102205 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 21:20:17 +0000 skibobrown 1102205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with others who like the idea but dislike the language. While I am a fan of strong discipline, I hope I never talk to my daughter like this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1102196 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 21:12:08 +0000 MsLipGloss 1102196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: </p> <p>Boundaries crossed = Consequences. Govern Yourselves Accordingly! </p> <p>Works for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1102148 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 20:40:10 +0000 .twist. 1102148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: I agree with you completely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1102130 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 20:27:33 +0000 Ree723 1102130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe I'm missing something, but I guess I don't really see it as public shaming. She didn't name her daughter, include any pictures, or provide any revealing details, so the only way others would know about this is if the daughter herself told people what her mum had done. </p> <p>Like I said in my previous post, I think the mother's words were very immature and I don't agree with that aspect, but I could totally see myself doing something like this if the situation warranted it....although my words would be more like 'due to my daughter's inability to treat her family with respect, we will no longer be needing these concert tickets'. I think it hammers the message home that there are boundaries and if you cross them, there will be consequences. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1102016 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 19:13:55 +0000 banana 1102016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Agree! I'm not comfortable with the public shaming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1102004 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 19:05:36 +0000 BananaPancakes 1102004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Yup. I hate public shaming and don't think parents should ever call their children names like that. Ask my MIL how she felt about being called a slut by her mother growing up for minor offenses. Lots of resentment 40 years later. Selling the tickets was a fantastic idea, but I hate name calling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101968 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:47:34 +0000 Pepper 1101968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love that she's selling the tickets, and I don't mind that she's calling out her daughter's behavior. I don't like how immature she comes off, though. I also think she could have done without calling her daughter and her friends names. It kind of negates the whole sentiment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101948 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:26:35 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1101948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would sell the tickets too, but I'm not a fan of public shaming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101936 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:16:21 +0000 birdofafeather 1101936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: yes! that's how i felt. i like that she's not a friend, but her mom, but then speak to her like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101934 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:12:46 +0000 birdofafeather 1101934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>idea of it is great, but the language is a little extreme. it's a wake up call, but i think i would have been way pissed/lesson learned with the selling of the tickets. if my mom spoke to me like that, i would have LOST it!</p> <p>side note: what was the original cost of the tickets? for $25K, i would have sold those tickets anyway! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101933 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:10:35 +0000 deerylou 1101933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with what she's doing, but I'm not crazy about the language. </p> <p>I wonder what she plans to do with the money she gets for the tickets....</p> <p>Man, I'm really not looking forward to when DD tries to pull on a fast one on me, as a teen. I was queen of the well orchestrated lie, so I'm not sure she'll be so successful.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101928 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:06:08 +0000 Ree723 1101928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're up to $25,000 now and the auction still has four days left to go! Even here in Australia, where things are about four times the cost of things in America, that's insane.</p> <p>I agree with the mother's actions 100% but I wish she had not resorted to name calling. I would have much preferred the language of 'you are acting like a _______, and that is not how I raised you' etc. I am all for harsh truths when necessary but there is a way to go about it and I think this went that little step too far.</p> <p>Regardless though, I hope this is a wake up call for her daughter!</p> <p>ETA: I just read it again and the thing that's bothering me is that the mum put herself on her daughter's level. She is arguing with her as though she herself is a teenager, rather than coming at it from a more mature, I'm the parent, perspective. It almost sounds like the gloating a 15 yr old would do if they got the better of someone.... That's what's bothering me more than anything I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101906 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 17:45:56 +0000 runsyellowlites 1101906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: talk about recouping expense, right?!

Glad she is selling the tickets and what she said is funny, but it isn't the most mature things to say. ;)<br /> I got myself in those kinds of situations as a teen and I would have wanted my dad to handle it the same way.</p> <p>Can't believe how high they are selling for! I'm sure they are glad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101839 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 16:55:25 +0000 Arden 1101839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I completely agree that the girls behavior was dangerous and wrong and that they needed a wake up call - but that's what selling the tickets was. There is no need to use such disrespectful and demeaning language - that teaches them nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101838 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 16:55:14 +0000 runsyellowlites 1101838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Oh I know it happens, and know it happens alot (I don't think I said anything that pointed to otherwise)... I work with a home for women that almost all have a history of rape/other sexual abuse. </p> <p>What I'm saying is this approach is almost never effective in getting the girl to change her course. If she doesn't feel dignified from her parents, where she is should be most protected &amp; affirmed, she's certainly not going to act or expect it from others &amp; is likely more apt to put herself in harmful situations seeking it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101830 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 16:53:26 +0000 Arden 1101830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I completely agree. Selling the tickets is the "wake up call". Talking to your children is such a disrespectful and immature way is modeling that sort of language and attitude to them. </p> <p>I would have respected this woman so much more if she had been calm and collected. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101822 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 16:51:17 +0000 dc yoga bee 1101822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I guess I see it differently because I see girls and guys who end up in these situations and then end up in our SVU unit as victims of such crimes. Totally not saying it will happen to these girls, but the attitude that it won't happen to me or doesn't happen around these parts is beyond inaccurate. I've seen it one too many times, and more often than not it was with teenage girls just wanting to hang out with older guys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101815 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 16:48:45 +0000 runsyellowlites 1101815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Meh... I was those girls once &amp; I can say that doing such things &amp; putting yourself in situations for older guys (or any guy for that matter) is many times (not all) about self worth &amp; needing affirmation.... something being called a "slut" by my mom did not do, &amp; can likely guarantee being called "bitchy" &amp; "trollops" won't do for these girls either.</p> <p>Want your kids to act dignified &amp; mature, then you should speak to them in such ways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101801 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 16:44:02 +0000 dc yoga bee 1101801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy Moly!! You know, with all this entitlement going on with young folk, I think her behavior and straight talk is totally on point. At some point these young girls and guys need to get a wake up call. It seems they were at older guy's house? You can get raped, kidnapped, killed, pregnant, or just have a good time. Gotta be responsible folks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101797 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 16:42:32 +0000 runsyellowlites 1101797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: The starting price was au $1.00!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101796 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 16:42:29 +0000 tinyperson 1101796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the idea, but not the language used... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101794 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 16:41:17 +0000 keiki_mama 1101794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy cow, they're selling for a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/angry-mum-alert-check-out-this-ebay-listing-from-australia#post-1101791 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 16:39:28 +0000 loveisstrange 1101791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think her selling them is fantastic.
