Great parenting... right up until she shamed her child online

Spoiling your kids and then publicly shaming them. Welcome to today.

I think bored panda should consider a policy regarding sharing names and photos of children. Sure other websites do it, but it doesn't make it right.

While I appreciate that she's trying to "pass on" valuable parenting information, I can't help to think it could have been done without showing the child's face or taking several pictures. Once your kids pic is out there..it's for life. It's kind of sad...trying to be a good parent by teaching her to appreciate what she has, while at the same time being a bad parent for exposing her mistake to the world. It would have been ok to relay the info without humiliating the girl.

Hey, BP. Why don't you delete this page altogether instead of being complicit in shaming little kids who are learning about life and should not be publicised. Lots of people on here think the same, so forget your unethical desire to gets the clicks in no matter what and do the right thing. I think the general feeling is that your site is going downhill now.

This is wrong because of public sharing private problems: "When Haley Hassell from Cantonment, Florida, bought her daughter Presleigh " + it's her fb account where are also closest friends and family. You understand that now everyone knows who is that girl and that she will be victim of bullying at school because of her bad mom? This story could be told without using real names, addresses and pictures. Do you know that media covers face of underage people? Sharing someones pictures without their permission is illegal by law and also should be illegal to post picture of your kid in this form (and probably is). This mom just want to be popular. Family problems should stay within family, that aren't public problems. Poor little girl can't even count on her mom. P.S. That mom just cyber bullied her daughter.

Who's the entitled, shameful person here? The mother. She was over the top in how she addressed her daughter's action. I agree it had to be dealt with, but through discussion first, and then consequences -- but not the overreaction this mother had. Young children's brains are still in the process of developing a moral compass. This child's behaviour was rude and selfish. That doesn't mean she's entitled or a brat or selfish and rude all try one.

Good job on everything but the posting it thing! No need to tell other people your business just to virtue signal!

Your child is not social media currency!

Bored Panda: This is a great example of bad journalism. You should be ashamed of yourselves. As a journalist I can tell you that every media outlet I've worked for would not publish this story -- no less publish her face, her crying face. A parenting tip: you never label a child, you deal with the child's behaviour. Your title calls her an "ungrateful child." That's so wrong and so cruel. Yes, the child's behaviour was ungrateful. However, for you and the mother to shout to the world that she's an ungrateful person, well, that's where the real shame is. She's a little kid, for goodness sake! She's still learning right from wrong. In fact, children's brains are still growing at that age. Their brains are still developing their moral compass. Do you know anything about parenting? About growing children? Clearly not. Are you parents? I hope not. I'm relieved to see that most of the Pandas have a sense of what being a good, responsible and kind parent is.

it's my guess she learned her "entitled" attitude from her Mother.

What has the world come to when a parent throws their kid under the bus (including their photos) for being a kid in a "mommy rant"? This stuff should remain private. More about mommy getting 15 minutes and likes on social media. What happens when other mommy's in that town see this, tell their kids, and then the little girl is teased, especially about the crying photo? Kids are brutal. Things need to remain private.

Why is this even a post? Are we supposed to applaud you actually parenting? This is ridiculous... This woman is exploiting her child to try and get kudos from strangers.

What do some mothers need validation from the internet when they believe they've made a ground-breaking parenting decision? The ungrateful child deserved a consequence for her rotten, entitled behaviour but she did not deserve to be shamed on the internet. In 20 years when her employer googles her names, this story will come up.

Why even bother with the ziploc bag? Just use a rubber band to hold the pencils together. Too many kids, and adults, don't appreciate what they have until it is taken away.

You would think a mother would be more careful about posting her young daughter's info online.

I don't like this shaming your child/ look how good a mother I am-stuff. YOU GROW UP MOM!!!

I do NOT agree with humiliating stories / photos of kids anywhere on the 'net. Kids are kids and NEED to be treated better than this.

My mom would have replaced it with a slap on my face.

So did she have to change her child's name to Postsleigh? Look at me I made a child, and it does stuff and I gave it a "unique" name and, oh did I mention... LOOK AT ME!!!!

To ask of you on here bashing this Mom. Make sure you look in your own closets. It's fine that you have an opinion but you definitely don't need to express it here. Tell her good job Mom and move on. You are doing no different than what you're complaining about she did. Maybe she didn't expect it to go viral. Did you ever think she posted on her timeline to her friends and family to see and somebody took the liberty to share it elsewhere.

I am sure when the mum was doing the "parenting" she was picturing the cool post she was going to make out of it, hence documenting the kids tears on the way.

Absolutely perfect for teaching a life lesson. That child is apparently spoiled (as a lot of only children are), so parents have to be extra vigilant that they do not turn out to be spoiled, entitled brats. You are on the right road. Also, why does she want to be a you tube star, that is c**p. Perhaps lay off the you tube videos.

Thanks Mommy! You may have averted creating one of the horrible, rude, presumptuous, mean-spirited humans we frequently read about on Bored Panda.

Another great insta mom
