Luisa Zissman reveals she smashed up her childrens’ iPads in front of them because they ‘p****d her off’ – as controversial post sparks huge debate

by

Luisa Zissman ignited discussion among her followers by disclosing that she broke her children’s iPads due to the negative influence they were having on them, as expressed in a contentious social media post.

As a committed follower, I myself have expressed that the ex-Apprentice participant, aged 38, ignited discussion when she shared her preference for prioritizing “sports and family” over excessive screen time for my children.

The mother posted a shot of her smashed appliance on Instagram, confessing that she had accidentally broken it while being upset.)

Accompanying the images, she posted this message: ‘I might try to make it seem like everything is sunshine and glitter, but today, my children drove me so mad that I shattered their iPads right before their eyes!’

Let’s steer clear from technology as it can negatively impact children’s brain development, turning them into unruly creatures, almost like mini-devils. Instead, let’s encourage sports activities, quality family time, and instill strong values of discipline!

The post elicited a mixed reaction, with some people believing it was financially irresponsible to destroy a £329 high-tech gadget, suggesting that alternative methods of discipline could have been explored first.

One critic commented: “This is frustrating. Parents spend months accumulating funds to buy these devices for their kids. It’s possible they will have to do the same thing again in just a few months. I fully acknowledge that people work hard for their money, and I respect that.

Instead of ignoring the cost, perhaps a bit more self-discipline or utilizing the parental control features on the devices could have been a wiser and more budget-friendly choice.

Another person asked, “Won’t that cause them harm or distress?” In response, Luisa assertively stated, “Exactly, Rachel! We’ve moved beyond gentle parenting in this conversation.

Another perspective is that Luisa might be taking a misguided approach since damaging their possessions doesn’t seem to foster an understanding of respect for those items.

It was pointed out that there are organizations that accept and distribute old or unwanted technology to less fortunate families. It’s ineffective to destroy those items as a means of teaching respect for belongings, as it could lead to spoiled and ungrateful behavior instead.

‘Also what kind of example is she setting by showing that much aggression and frustration.’

Many individuals expressed concerns, stating, “I believe it doesn’t instill a sense of monetary worth as they might start thinking destruction of pricey items is acceptable.” Another perspective was, “Are you trying to instill discipline by destroying their iPads right in front of them?

Luisa found it amusing when someone called her “unhinged” and responded, “They haven’t been here for long,” implying that the person might not have understood her yet if they didn’t catch on earlier.

In response to the question about why she hadn’t simply taken them away, Luisa explained that she preferred for them to witness their destruction and understand there was no possibility of recovery.

There were definitely some individuals who believed her decision was unwise, but others strongly endorsed Luisa’s choice, going so far as to say they would have made the same choice themselves.

One exclaimed, ‘I did exactly the same thing! Broke it in two and tossed it into the trash can! This house isn’t a democracy, and I don’t engage in discussions with kids!’

Luisa replied: ‘THANK YOU! Someone sensible!’

A different person remarked: “I’d love to do that, but then I recall my financial situation and realize I can’t afford to replace them when I need a few moments of tranquility.

After pondering over the responses to her post, Luisa commented, “Wow, I wasn’t expecting such a diverse array of reactions-even encountering quite a few strong opinions.

She also added a question box, which said: ‘Why do you care so much?’

In the past few weeks, Luisa has once again found herself at the center of a stir, following her harsh criticism towards those who criticized one of her recent bikini photos.

She posted a picture (selfie) of herself in a bikini (two-piece swimsuit), taken during her vacation, which attracted remarks about her body weight. One individual even labeled her as ‘unhealthy’ and ‘significantly underweight’ or ‘very malnourished’.

After facing harsh comments, she defended herself against body-shamers, passionately expressing her concern over how obesity strains the healthcare system. She asserted that she remains robust and fit, disregarding criticisms from her followers who question her health status.

When subjected to constant criticism about her weight, she fiercely defended herself against the ‘skinny shamers’, expressing her frustration over the burden obesity places on our healthcare system. She maintained that she is fit and strong, disregarding any doubts cast by her followers regarding her health.

In her critique, she wrote: “Suppose I were to label you as people who are habitually indulging in McDonald’s and cookies, and labeling you as unproductive and overweight.” She then defended herself by stating that her physique is a reflection of an active lifestyle, good health habits, and predominantly clean living.

In another bold statement, Luisa penned: “Shoulder to shoulder with rebellion, she wrote: ‘If you were to rise from your seats and refrain from consuming excess food, you wouldn’t find obesity as commonplace. The widespread prevalence of overweight individuals does not equate to a state of health.’
