Revenge, pure and simple whilst still in a position of power.
Power to the parents.
Kids. Whinging, ungrateful little bar-stewards the lot of 'em.Comment

This is going to have an impact on the quality of care home the kids send them to in later years..Comment

Looks like it's being bid up to ludicrous proportions (which will never pay up of course) probably by accomplices of the young lady in question.
Clearly this is a case of a parent that believes in never making idle threats, an approach I thoroughly approve of. I'm lucky I only had sons so the prospect of a daughter getting unexpectedly up the stick was never a concern for me, however I can understand and applaud the reasoning being the auction.
Comedy value as well as parental responsibilityComment

It is right to give kids boundaries and stick to them. But its very poor form to do it publicly. Will build up alot of resentment.
Ideally one should try to be friends and remain firm but fair. Easier said than done!Comment

Sometimes you have to act.
Couple of weeks ago we were going to Pizza Express for an evening meal. The kids knew it all day and their behaviour had not been good. In the car on the way home before the restaurant they were particularly loud / fighting in the car. Then attempting to get ready, talking back, not paying attention, shouting, running about!
After the last warning we cancelled it to much wailing and gnashing of teeth. They got beans on toast and an early night. Sometimes threats have to be carried through.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
