My DD16 won 2 tickets to a teeny bopper concert that is being held in our area this week....DH bought her 2 tickets to this concert as soon as tickets posted for sale for her and her bf to go....tic cost 52.00....Today she was at a friends house and a radio station was having a contest for tics and to meet and greet the star back stage.....She programed her cell and the other two girls phones to call when the dj announced the whatever number caller would win....The other girls were not involved and not interested.....she was the correct caller on one of the other girls phones....all of a sudden the other girls were very interested and wanted her to hand over the tics.....she said no way. The mother of one of the girls even got into it and told my dd since it wasnt her cell phone that won the contest....that she should hand the tics over to her daughter..I guess with that reasoning...if my dd used their house phone and won....she should also give them up.....neither of these girls had any intention of going to this concert until their were free tickets and back stage passes...........My dd enters all of the radio contests (won a few)and the dj's have gotten to know her voice over the phone....so she called and told him the situation and he threw in two more tickets...It has all worked out ..but it just rubs me the wrong way.....I am sure if the shoe were on the other foot these two girls would not be handing back stage tics over to my dd....I would have offered the 2 tics we had payed for to the girls once my dd actually had the tics she won...I could not believe the parent that got involved over this....She would be outraged if anyone said anything like this to her dd.....She actually wanted my dd to give up the two tickets she won....let her dd and the other friend go to the "meet and greet" and have my dd and her bf sit in the cheap seats....These girls could have well afforded to have bought tickets at the same time my dh bought the tickets....so it isnt....oh the poor girls probably couldnt have afforded it.....
What do you all think????? This is really bugging me....
This is the same mother that is constantly getting in the middle of the kids battles.....I have never said anything to her because my motto is kids fight over everything and make up very quickly but adults can do battle for years....so I stay out of things, but it just irks me that my dd was in a sense ganged up on by the two girls and a parent....

hence.....my poor babies cell phone was used to win the tickets....so she should get them..(the minutes used on the cell were free weekend minutes...so it isnt like my dd was using up her prime minutes to use her phone)..I have never interceded about this womans behavior but this time I may have to nicely say something about this....at least to let her know that I am concerned that my dd was "ganged"up on at her home....and aware of it....Like I said this is not the first time.....one other recent event concerned a boy her dd liked, but the boy liked my dd....her mother told my dd off one night on the way home from car pooling to the movies....She told my dd that if she were a true friend she would tell this boy to take a hike....dd didnt like the boy in that way but was not going to loose him as a friend....
