I was reading about the mom who sold her children’s toys on eBay as punishment to her kids who would not behave. I have to say I thought oh no that’s terrible and not called for.
“One mom, fed up with her boys’ fancy spinning tops and how they wrecked her bathtub, decided to gather the offending tops — the popular Japanese manga Beyblade toy — and put them on eBay. She even posted a picture of her sons, one clearly in tears, while the younger one has a mug shot look, resigned to his fate, as he holds up the zip lock bag of Beyblades to present to the buying public.” The article reads.
OK I admit I have sold things on eBay that belong to the kids, their used clothing that no longer fits or toys they have outgrown but never would I dream of selling their favorite toys. I think this mom took this a little too far.
Then to post a picture of her boys obviously heartbroken I feel is inappropriate and damn well cruel.
I understand that we get annoyed at our kids, trust me with 6 I know all too well how fed up you get of asking them tidy things away, look after things but I would never sell their stuff as a punishment. Would you?
What do you think? Did the mom who sold kids toys on Ebay as punishment go too far? Leave me a comment to let me know your views.
