Today, my parents took my iPad back to the store and exchanged it for two cheap knock off tablets. Reason being my little brother threatened to run away because I had one and he didn't. I bought the iPad on my own after graduation. They kept the difference in price. FML

hello! OP here. Originally, I was very upset, I hadn't been home when it happened and when I came back I found out. I have since talked to my parents, and found out my mom was the one who did it, but she put the extra money back into my bank account. I do live with my parents until I go off to college. The Ipad was an overzealous purchase, and after messing with the tablet its not so bad. As for my brother, my dad sat him down and talked to him about how it was wrong to do that and he needs to earn stuff, etc etc etc. And his tablet will be returned. So I guess in a sense everything is ok now. xD I wasnt expecting to have this accepted, I didn't even have an account till this morning.

Why did you let your parents take it? I wouldn't have given it up without a fight.

Your brother is bluffing. He would come back if he ran away. They always come back.

You could go to small claims court. You'll have a better chance at winning if you file a police report. Sorry your parents did this. They should have told your sibling that they'd get one too when they graduated. That's a good incentive to graduate.

Hell no take those pieces of junk back and pay for the rest using their money and if they say something to you tell them to buy their own damn tablets not take yours

So it's that easy to get what you want. I absolutely hate spoiled kids.

You should threaten to run away after you kick your little brothers butt

Your bother is just all talk and to get back at your parents, return something they love

You let them do it! You deserve. If it was me, I wouldn't leave a house standing, for anyone to run away from.

Really.. I must've missed the part where she said "they asked me if they could and I said it was ok."

I'd just let the little sh*t run away, even if he was serious

If you have the receipt you can go into the store and say what your parents did, or the cops. That is theft!

How is getting her parents arrested going to solve anything?

Maybe so they'll learn not to do something like that again?
