British mum Sarah Bryan made headlines all over the world when she sent the parent of her young daughter’s friend an invoice for $548.
According to Bryan, her three-year-old daughter Isabella’s Italian designer booties were “scuffed” and had been drawn on with a permanent marker during a playdate.
After the incident, Bryan, who is a fashion designer, model and aspiring actress, appeared on Good Morning Britain and was reduced to tears during an interview with host Piers Morgan.
"You’re not a responsible parent...you’re the worst kind," Morgan told her during the interview.
Now, Bryan has opened up about her traumatic childhood, saying she takes any opportunity to spoil her children.
"I understand why the invoice has created so much outrage but wouldn’t anybody spoiled [sic] their children if they could?" she told The Sun.

I am still gobsmacked by this. If you buy special, expensive items for your children, it makes no sense to whack them on for a playdate and get all upset once they get scuffed or damaged. Dress her appropriately for the occasion. She's a child, not a doll you dress up for your own amusement!!
Of course she wants to spoil her daughter, I'm sure most parents do, that part is completely understandable. The thing is, being a parent means doing what's best for your child, not what makes you feel good. Spoiling your child constantly is not a great idea, she needs to learn that she doesn't always get what she wants, when she wants it. Otherwise she has a massive shock coming when she gets out into the real world.
