Lol. Thats damn funny. Especially they started the bid at 1 cent.

Mischevious yes. Naughty, as in malicious no.

But so far It's never gotten that bad that my parents decided to withhold my present. I wonder wht those kids done though.

Slinao done deal

Greedy Pig The news story I read on it said they were fighting, cussing, and making rude hand gestures. When their folks said they would sell their Christmas presents, one of the little smarties double dared them. Bad move.

Yes, those kids are going to end up in therapy. The parents are quite clearly nuts.


Note: On our past auction this page was copied and duplicated by someone with bad intentions. We posted their name to our auction and brought it to everyone's attention. Because our actions were good and honorable - Ebay cancelled the auction. You can't mention another user's name in your auction - even when they have done wrong and you are warning others to steer clear. Appearantly another thing we teach our children, "If you tell the truth you can't be wrong" does not apply on this website. Let's just sell these things and be done with it.

I expect this kind of crap is a semi-regular event in that household.

I agree with the parents here. If a parent threatens their child with a punishment, then doesn't go through with it when the bluff is called, then why would the child ever pay attention to their parents threats? Once the threat was made, they had to go through with it, especially since the children didn't believe they would.

That'll teach them. The kids won't need therapy, because the next time they get a threat like that, they'll do what they're told rather than give their parent lip.

In our family, if any of our kids, or any of our grandchildren, had behaved the way these boys did, the presents would have been returned to the store before the clearance sales started. Then we would have had a year of intensive reminders of exactly what Christmas is all about. Hopefully, the next Christmas the kids would have a more realistic view of the holiday.

My family fights and curses all the time. It's our way. Christmas would never be cancelled for that.

Those people have a major stick up their butt.

I'm the adoptive mother of four, and have nine grandchildren, two of which are adopted, also. One of the things that I have always loved about my family, is the interreaction between my kids and their nieces and nephews. When the grandkids were small, if they had a crisis and Mom or Dad weren't at hand, they would just as quickly go to an Aunt or an Uncle. A couple of my granddaughters were surprised to find out they were cousins and not sisters. We have a family custom of lots of hugs and kisses and meddling (I'm the head meddler). As our children married and our kids-in-laws' families were added to our family events, they started picking up the same practices. Now, as our family has grown so large, cooking is a major job (I am also the head cook). Speaking of which, I gotta go cook. The natives are getting restless.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I think it's hillarious too that people are actually saying that these kids will be harmed by this. Growing up poor as hell myself, I can tell you that giving expensive gifts to your kids is hardly the equivalent of being a good parent.
Teaching your kids right from wrong and that consequences follow, like for like would be that definition.
These rich, spoilt little bastards pissed all over their own Christmas. Cussing and rude hand gestures at home? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Boy, what that would've gotten me back in the day. Sure as hell wasn't gifts and praise.
I personally would like to congragulate these parents on not taking the easy route and giving in to their brats demands. Man, if my brother and I were ever heading toward a $700 Holiday when we were their age, we'd be making little Jesus look like baby Stewie.
