Mother Sells Daughter's 'One Direction Tickets on eBay As Punishement

Well this one's going to sting for life. After finding out her daughter lied about sleeping over with friends at an older boy's house, the girl's mother placed four One Direction tickets she had bought for her daughter and some friends for sale on eBay.

And she didn't just place them on sale. Accompanying the ad was a scathing letter publicly chastising her daughter for her behavior. While punishment in this case is likely warranted, doing so publicly is questionable. Yes, it sent a strong message to the daughter but does she need to be scarred for life for committing a "crime" her mother basically admits to doing herself when she was a kid? Or at least that the mother's friends did when they were kids. Of course, this doesn't make what the daughter did right.

Hey, validity of parenting practices are in the eye of the beholder and only those immediately involved in the situation and the long history that led up to it are qualified to judge. The rest of us can say what we will but what we say is basically irrelevant.

Currently, the bid stand at AU $710. Via.

Here's the full text of the ad:
