Wish we had more information...I hope the kid didn't buy the tickets herself, because that would be really hateful.

I don't have teenagers, but my kids would have to do something pretty awful for me to take such harsh measures. Either way, if the mom wanted to sell the tickets, I don't think she had to advertise it in that manner.

I have a huge issue with publicly shaming your child. Even when my kids are little if I need to discipline them at a party or out in public I take them aside and speak with them away from the crowd. I can't imagine publicly shaming my child ever and the teen years are emotionally turbulent enough without that.

Attention whore parents.

Sell the tickets.

Don't tell everyone why.

How old is the daughter? Not that it really matters; I don't think you should ever announce to the public that your kid a spoiled brat. I mean, ok, the kid did something wrong, punishment is losing the privilege of going to the concert. Fine. But to name call and post it publicly? I don't get it.

To me, this kinda thing screams "I don't know how to handle my teen's behavior so I'm going to go all hard-ass to show that I'm absolutely in control of my child." I don't buy it; I also hated when parents would yell at their kids in front of me for not doing their homework or something. I always ended up feeling sorry for the kid. It's one thing to enforce a consequence, but this makes me want to ask "Don't you even like your kid enough to give them some privacy when dealing with discipline?"

Apparently the daughter is 18. That kind of changes it for me. If she is all ready 18, then she is probably starting college in a few weeks, she could be an old.high school.student but I think most people are 17 when they start their senior year. Imo, out of.high school.and legal adult is too old for.mommy to be selling your stuff as a punishment. If she were 15, it would be different.

And wtf at the mom claiming she is bullied for parenting? You're being a bully calling your 18 year old a brat.

I don't know that I have strong feels about this either way.

I know that if it were a younger kid, maybe 11-14ish, I would feel that punishment to be a little uncalled for.

18? I'd be buying my own ticket, and driving my own car to the concert. Possibly coming home to my own apartment...so there's that.

That's what I meant. She's an adult, you can't take away an adults concert tickets and tell them they're grounded. It is just ridiculous, you should be able to actually communicate by that age.
