Kirstie Allsopp smashed her kids’ iPads and the responses are worth your screentime
Kirstie Allsopp was fed up with her kids spending too much time playing things like Fortnite on their iPads so she did this.
And she wasn’t messing.
Kirstie Allsopp reveals she smashed her children's tablets in front of them because they kept breaking her rules for using them.
Harsh, or a good bit of parenting there?@KirstieMAllsopp | @TheJeremyVine | @stormhuntley | #jeremyvine pic.twitter.com/EFB4uctUmq

Well, it’s one way of dealing with it. Possibly not the best way, some people thought. These 17 responses pretty much sum it up.

Nice to be so well off that you can do this. Why not confiscate them or donate them to a children’s hospice?

Deliberately breaking something expensive out of spite is a luxury few of us would want to afford, however well off.

Spite? Heroin is expensive. Crack cocaines expensive. I’d destroy anything harming my family.

I’m confused. Are you comparing an IPad, which could be put to good use, to Cocaine and Heroine?

Still defeats the point, there was absolutely no need to smash them. Sounds like she has anger issues, and doesn’t exactly set a great example to her kids. pic.twitter.com/tTs9D5aaHF

Smashing her kids’ tablets is not exactly a good example to set is it?
How about confiscating them instead?— Robert Barton (@WineLovingBear) September 10, 2018

1) Smashing an iPad is not the action of a parent in control of a situation
2) How privileged do you have to be to destroy £££s of tech rather than donate to a local school/ charity/ hospital and think of it as nothing more than teaching the little darlings a lesson? https://t.co/46dB77vfo0

I’d like to have the luxury of not worrying about smashing 500 quid + items
