iPad tragedy. Must Read!!!!

[Hasty]

Agree it's sad.
The father lacks imagination and/or self control and I guess his sons won't be growing up with much respect for him. The fact that his previous attempts to control the hooligans having failed so frequently just confirms it.

Just remember it's your party and you cry if you want to.

That's just stupid. Why would anyone throw away a working ipad?
It would have been better just to take it away and get assurances that the fighting would not continue before returning it or sell the ipad.

Must be a rich family.

Wow. If you are 10 years old and/or a girl, I guess I can understand.

Lolol I was thinking the same thing!!

Here is something to be upset over.. I have a new truck that has sat in my driveway for two years because I have a company truck that pays for gas as well. Bought the truck a couple months prior to job offer. So $40k vs $600.. Well.....

Now ~ do you think a 10 year old would get that? I'm thinkin not.

If he is indeed 10.

Yeah! I adore you, Hasty.

 

[SweetPoison]

You "cried uncontrollably."

Wow. If you are 10 years old and/or a girl, I guess I can understand.

Hey now...none of that.

What does that mean?

Oh, no worries. He was just tellin Superbike to not be MEAN. Sometimes, he can't help it.

Lol You would cry too if it happened to you.....

LOL! I love that song!

I wonder what the father would say if he was on the forum. My guess is that
there are plenty of issues with the parties involved.

Sometime peace & quiet has no pricetag. If the Dad already took it away "20" times, it's clear that the kids failed miserably at learning to get along.

He is not rich!!!
The iPad is not his, it's his boss.
Yah I know that he might be in trouble.
He has about a year left to return.

Parenting skills lacking.... Self control lacking.... Obvious the father also has no self control or he wouldn't have chucked his boss's iPad down the chute.... There are other ways to permanently remove device from children's hands.

What! He threw away his boss' iPad?

What do you mean he has a year left to return? Who returns from where for what reason ?

 

[Wakawaka]

So the iPad belongs to the boss.

Clearly he doesn't care about it to give it to someone like this guy.

I feel bad for the OP. I can't help but laugh, yet this person seems really upset over the matter. This is almost, almost as good as the dude throwing his Wii controller at his flatscreen lolol

Let's hope he does not lose his job over it. I think if it was that bad of a situation; the iPad would live in my briefcase when at home or be only used by the adults since the kids have not been taught to be civil and share. This is precisely the sort of thing that happens when a piece of high-end technology is thought of as simply a 'toy'. It's amazing to hear that it happened in a place like Singapore, I'd expect this more from a place like the USA where people throw their money away like it's a curse to have it in their pocket.

Go dumpster diving and retrieve your ipad

:ipad-Go dumpster diving and get your iPad back I would not care what anyone thought I would retrieve it and hide it away for my use only. Let us know what you decided.
