I bet they'll change their attitudes real quick. A much needed virtual slap on the ass to those kids.

Well I hope it works. Ruining Chritmas though...I dunno, that sounds like a good way to alienate your kids forever to me. Might just lead to eternal bitter resentment.
A generally firmer hand throughout the year would have been better.

Meh... the kids will probably this get the gifts.
If he was really serious, I'd imagine he'd return the gifts to the store, or just give them to charity.

Jesus Christ, take control of your kids. There's a reason for their behavior, kids behave just like their parents!
This dude is taking advantage of his kids and this situation to get 15 minutes of fame.

It's called "Dad's got the stones to make our *Christmas* as shitty as possible, just like he promised he would if we misbehaved."
There's no way to really tell if this is even true, but I hope it is. Too many kids are spoiled these days, any other parent would've likely just let the kids have the gifts anyway.
I understand that.
I also feel that if the parents really did purchase $700 in games (I'm assuming the $700 of games being sold was the Christmas gifts' value) that they really are spoiling their kids, no questions asked. I also feel that it might be too little too late.
I'm not calling for all parents to take a belt to their kids as my first post implied, just that starting to 'stand up' to your kids at the ages of 11 and 15 is way too late.

Actually, the local TV station saw the auction on ebay and then contacted the dad. I see no problem with the action being taken. Maybe the parents were shitty parents all year, but now that they are actually doing something about it you guys say they are being bad parents for doing so? How does that work?

Bingo. Who cares if they have been shitty parent before then. He is correcting the problem now. He did what a Dad should do. He laid down the law and follow thru. Fuck those kids.

"That night, Dad announced that he would indeed be putting $700 in video games up for sale on eBay. The oldest boy double-dared his dad to make good on his word.
Son shouldn't have done that.
Dad said Mom has been in tears since the showdown.
"I don't do it outwardly," he said, "but I'm crying on the inside."" :lol :lol :lol
The son double dared, if the dad didnt go through with it the sons would never respect or obey him again.

No? Not even that this will likely give his three children a kick in the ass?doncale said:
But I still don't know where I'd sit on this, if I cared. I mean, he even said "they're normally really good kids". So how was such a drastic punishment (cancelling Christmas) necessary?
i doubt much of this will stick. You don't go from fifteen years of soft parenting to being a hardass overnight. Somehow i missed the fact that the oldest was fifteen -- that kid's going to be the hardest to adopt to the new style of parenting. i have a feeling that after a few weeks of "doing good", the parents will reward them with brand new DSs.
Thing is, when did it get to the point where the kid was double-daring his dad? You do that kinda stuff with your friends, not your parents. "Parents" now are such a joke, it's like they seek to emulate the kind of relationships parents have on tv with their kids, but fail both in terms of respect and situational hilarity.Kabuki Waq said:

Good man
I agree with the others that said this isn't going to fix the problem he is having, but I think if he didn't follow through on his promise, he would have lost all credibility.
Besides, I have a feeling they'll end out getting presents later if they behave. He sounds like that sort of a parent and probably would have let them get away with it if the eldest hasn't dared him. It's about time a bunch of punks got what was coming to them.

What normal parent is going to say their kids are normally royal fuckups? The way I see it the kid should have been strangled within an inch of his life for daring his father and while he was recooping the dad should have turned around and yelled, "Which one of you other fuckers want's some of dear old dad? Next motherfucker the double dares me gets shot in the kneecap!"
True Story.
My mother's second husband took us to meet his family for Christmas one year. One of his brothers had such bad marks in school and got into so much trouble (schoolyard fights, mouthing off, etc.) that his mom gave him coal for Christmas. Really. Just a piece of coal, wrapped in a box and NOTHING ELSE.
That is hardcore.

And it seems most of you sound like stone sociopaths, based on all of the "lol go dad I would have shot them instead" responses. Makes me glad I shy away from humanity as often as possible.

What did he do after unwrapping it?
"Thanks....mom"
Apparently he cried for days and she was pretty happy about it, as if he learned his lesson.
I'm not sure what has happened since then, but I haven't heard of any valuable contributions to society from that particular person, so I can only gather it scarred him for life.
Kudos for his mom having the balls to do something like that, though.

This isn't the first time an auction like this went up on Ebay. There was one last year. It's just a copy cat story to get more bids and a bit of press. It's exactly like that, otherwise this dude wouldn't have put all this shit on the auction to get attention. You think I fucking care what or why someone is selling something? I just want to find an easy auction and bid on something, like everyone else. This is drama, pure and simple. And if it's a true story, this fucking guy and the way he comes off is exactly why his kids are acting up.
For someone who likes to get a lot of attention on here, I figured you'd be able to grasp the idea of what this guy is trying to do.

I don't like attention. It's just, somehow, my opinions on things make people hate me.
This is the most important point - pull out that brick, and the whole wall comes crashing down. His kids dared him to follow through on his threat. What credibility he has remaining would have disappeared if he hadn't done what he promised. As a parent, the best thing you can do for your children is stick to your word - right or wrong, they know that you always mean what you say and that's a crucial reference point for the relationship. Dillydally or waffle, and you're seen as unsure...and an easy mark. Save that "best friends" shit for their schoolyard chums - you're a parent, so do your goddamn job and parent.Discharger said:

Huh why because she fucking practiced good parenting and refused to reward bad behavior. Where does it say that Christmas gifts are fucking guarenteed to you? I applaud her and the father for doing what 99% of parents don't and that's parent. Hopefully these kids will learn a leason and not act an ass and become successful contributing members of society, rather than a bumch of selfish numbskulls thinking they can get away with anything because their parents couldn't find it in their ballsack the courage to teach them right and wrong.
