I say good on her for carrying through with the threat!
We've always warned our kids of any consequences and then carried them out.

One of the things that winds me up the most is a badly-behaved child and a parent saying: "I'm going to count to five and then [do whatever]. 1...2....3....4....4 1/4....4 1/2.... 4 3/4....."

Followed by silence that goes on until child gets fed up of whatever it's doing and complies.
Then: "See, now you're behaving you can have a treat."

Though I suspect that this mother-daughter relationship will be somewhat strained for quite a long time....

That is brilliant Tiggsy, what a courageous mother to go through with the threat (I hope she did sell them!!).  Not many mothers would want to upset their spoilt little darlings like that.  Good for her!!

Depends if she made her a spoilt little brat in the first place...

Just have a laugh at this story: don't take it seriously. It is, of course, a hoax. It had to be didn't it?
