I think its brilliant the little madam will be so P&&&&& off but herd luck she shouldnt lie and did she really think her parents wouldnt find out AND its about time PARENTS took back the power we have stupidly given to our kids

Good Luck mum

Well THAT AD seems to have gone


but loads of other ads for ONE direction.................????

Looking at it from the other mums side. How would 'you' (generally, not aimed at anyone) feel if this woman was calling your daughter a 'bitchy' what ever it was and suggesting that you didn't know who your childs father was?

That would be an awful lot of money to spend on an eleven year old.

Would you not be a bit surprised if your eleven year old were offered one of these tickets by the parents of a friend, for nothing?

should four sets of parents not be involved in any decision taken after they all lied to stay in the house of an older man, at eleven?

"Given power to our kids" OMG Kemp get a grip, being a parent isnt a power trip ...unless thats another thing I got wrong :-0 being a parent is maintaining control without looking like a total control freak and slagging your child off all over the net acting like a complete fruit cake.

The more I read this thread and about the tale ( if true) the more I feel sorry for this child ........ :-D

I think a third party should have been involved. Sort of ACAS for the family.

It would have been good to get the deceiver to have given these 4 tickets free to a group of 4 people who would have really appreciated them. Say, 4 girls who were very poor, very badly ill etc. She has clearly forfeited her own right to a happy and memorable evening

I know all about 1D myself and am a big fan - Ricky Tomlinson and Zayn Gray are my two favourites :-)

Get a grip!!! lol hahahahahhahahhaha

Thats the problem we as parents havent thats why this poor mum is doing this she has allowed her child to mix with the bitchy ones which has now created this problem of an 11 year old (taken from sharrons post) to act like this and as the parent has pointed out stay at older guys houses! and lie about the childs where abouts!

If this was I,m taking these tickets away coz you are 11 and pregnant it would be fine ??!! so is this situation
Her parents have taken control which we ,ALL parents have allowed our kids to have by
not giving out punishments when needed ....

this has nothing to do with her mother being a fruit cake!

Yes poor old kids ....prehaps shes lucky her parents found out she was telling lies about where she was sleeping at least they know now and can stop her getting into anymore trouble

Sorry Kemp I agree with Haley you don't speak to your daughter like that at 11 yr old and in public and call her friends bitchy little whatever you are not giving out a very good example at all and I don't think to spend all that monwey on an 11 yr old is on either, if that is what she paid. I,m beginning to think the mother is a fruit cake after all . To sit down and explain (probably again and again) that to go to an older man's house is definately not on is a real danger to kids, is a must and to do it calmly to get the kids to accept what the parents are saying otherwise shouting about it will probably go in one ear and out the other. I would definately report the person for having such young girls/children staying overnight this to me would be the real problem not so much the lying oh yes that's not on either but kid do this a lot of the time and yes it has to be checked in such a dangerous situation and dealt with and as I said before there would be no concert.

I think the 'age 11' thing came from another story (jax's post).

Sorry, I don't know where I get 11 from.

I have done similar to my son as a wake up call to him.
One thing was after asking numerous times to tidy his room which he didn't so I told I would, absolutely everything was chucked out the window onto the patio, I didn't check to see what I was first so some stuff was broken.
Another occasion he complained the house smelled of cigarette smoke as did his clothes, cos I smoked then so I grabbed all his clothes from his wardrobe chucked them at him and said "we'll go and live at work"
Told him he is a lodger and that his Dad and me own the house.

Having read the original post and the comments made by the mother (if true) I too would have done what she has.

I think what tipped her over was the daughters friends sending stupid threats etc.,

Sadly there are kids out there today who think that their parents should respect them, long before they show any respect for their parents first.

They know the value of everything and the worth of nothing.

Luckily no children in my family are like this. But I can certainly say I have met some of this ilk many times.

If it had been me I would not even have sold them on, but had them all round for a girlie evening and then got a saucer, some matches and the tickets and burned them in front of them. Yes SPITEFUL, but then that is me when riled by kids.....

Fred never expected to be in the position where he hoped daily that I wouldn't start behaving as he had done.

Har Har Har! It wasn't real after all.
Why use your loaf when you can be hysterical.

I am surprised that no one would mind another woman calling their daughter a 'bitchy' what ever it was and suggest that your didn't know who your childs father was.

Hey ho.

Well for all the mistakes I have made and I fully admit there have been a few ......at least Kemp I am not or ever was a bitter angry excuse for a mother :-D

Nolls from lovely harrogate thank you :-D

Real or not this type of situation happens and one I am all to familair with.

I never had my children to hurt them in anyway shape or form either by hand,words or pure spite and control.....

I understand what you are saying Kay, but I won't have my son dictating to me how I should live in my house, he now realises why I did what I did then because he has his own place now.

If it has got to the stage referred to in the ad (if it's real) then the relationship has broken down already. Probably because the mother has no idea of rational or caring discipline over the years and now it's too late.

The child had no respect for her and will have even less now.

OH! ZZzzz! what age was your son? If an adult well maybe I can see your point but if a youngster well I would be ashamed of myself if I told him he was a lodger ...that's not family life .. well not as I know it anyway ... where my kids stayed it was their Home and yes tthey can be untidy pests and yes did have yelling matches with mine but never considered our home to be my husbands and my own and the kids as lodgers in fact if my kids told me that the house was smelling my answer would be "OMG I hope not and all I would have done was get the air freshner out haha .... My kids in their 30/40's now still consider our home THEIR home and my only daughter is quick off the mark if she see's things not up to her standards and we hear about it....not that we pay much attention ...think we are now the teenagers .
:-D

Nolls, he was early 20s with the clothes thing and 29 with the cigarette thing, he has had his own place now and has to do his own cleaning and tidying. While I realise that smelling of my habit isn't good, he realises how wrong he was.
