Parents Punish Child By Selling One Direction Tickets On eBay

One Direction is on their last leg of the "Take Me Home" tour down in Australia and Directioners couldn't be more excited. For an Aussie girl and three of her friends, that excitement quickly came to a halt when they were caught lying to their parents. As punishment for the act, the parents have put up for auction, on eBay, tickets they bought for their daughter and her closest friends. "You can thank my daughters self righteous and lippy attitude for their sale," the description of the item read. "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!"

By the description it seems that the girl's friends tried to persuade the mother not to go forth in selling the precious tickets. "Oh your friends thought that a few prank 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." The online scolding continued, "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."

Their are a total of four tickets to be auctioned off and the current bid (as of this writing) stands at AU $24,100.00, with the auction having started on September 18 with a starting bid of AU $1.00. There is a little over four days remaining until the auction closes, which currently has 88 bids. As the mother said earlier, "your loss [is] someone else's gain who deserves them" and four lucky fans will now be able to experience de 1D performance. The concert that the boys will be offering is for Friday, October 25 at the Allphones Arena in Sydney, Australia. What do you think of the way the parents handled the situation?
