Would you smash up your kids ipads like Luisa has here?

I quite like her, liked her on The Apprentice. Disagree with her on this though.

Yabu - its fine
Yanbu - not for it

Manifesting enough money to even have this be an option though 🙏🙏

No. 1) in relationships, smashing up someone’s stuff is considered abusive as it inspires fear of violence. 2) what a waste of expensive items and precious metals. Just sell them. 3) what does it teach them? That when you’re annoyed you should lose your rag?

All of this, its not a healthy thing to do at all

Seems abusive to me personally! 🤷‍♀️

Agree, what absolute waste. Her poor dc are learning that being angry means you can break other people's belongings.

Yeah there's not really much of a debate to be had here tbh 😄

I get being pissed off and banning them, but breaking them is completely wrong

So when her kids are fed up with someone else's kids they'll think - i'll teach them ... i'll smash their toys up.

Fabulous.

Seems an odd thing to post about

She's probably already bought them new ones!

I have an unhealthy interest in celebs 🙈

Daft woman. 🙄

She is just angry for views and attention her kids will get replacements they will learn nothing, Luisa will continue to be snippy, angry,strict for views and attention.

Publicity Stunt.

I mean she said no more tech for us whilst using.her tech to post online!

I am sure plenty of us have felt like doing that on occasion, but that's very different from actually doing it. It's appalling parenting, no idea why she thinks it's a good idea to post about it publicly. She should be ashamed of herself for such a terrible display of anger.

Meanwhile normal parents just don't buy the tech in the first place or take it away if it's a problem. But I guess that doesn't garner enough attention.

Join the Conor & Charlotte thread! Although celebs is stretching it a bit 🤣.

I still remember my mum throwing my brothers X box out the window when he had been really rude to her and also refused to get out his room. I think she just snapped to be honest. I thought it was the funniest thing in the world at the time, and I don’t think she’s a bad parent for doing it I think she just lost her shit (freshly divorced, 5 of us living at home).

She isn’t right for doing it and I think she should say sorry - but I’m sure the kids will get a replacement.

I’m a big LuAnna fan but she absolutely loves to wind people up 😂

Silly woman. She's just taught her children that it's OK to get into a childish temper and smash things. If she wanted to take the iPads away, the very least she could have done would be to give them to, say, a local school as they are absolutely invaluable for children with SEN.

I seem to remember Kirstie Allsop posting about smashing her DC's iPad up.

It's a bit of a mixed message to smash something up because the DC aren't able to regulate their usage. I don't know how old her DC are, not inclined to Google. And I guess it could just be staged and she's doing it for views, and to do the daytime TV circuit for a couple of weeks.

Is she getting her parenting ideas from Joan Crawford? What an awful woman!

When is violence ever acceptable, even against objects? What a horrible example to set in front of children, to smash things.

Oh yes GMTV on Monday morning sitting sneering at the "against" mum.

I can't afford an iPad for myself never mind my kids, so definitely not!

Didn't Kirstie Allsopp do the same thing?

Smashing up any child’s belongings sounds cruel and not something that will be happening in my house.

If this wasn't a celebrity, mumsnetters would be outraged. I think it's a pretty horrible thing to do and I'm not a perfect parent. My ex partner still remembers being 4 and his otherwise kind dad, destroying his favourite toy in a rare moment of anger. He went through a lot as a child but the memory still affects him.
