Link: 'Mean mom' sells son's car after misdeed - Yahoo! News.
Jane Hambleton has dubbed herself the "meanest mom on the planet." After finding alcohol in her son's car, she decided to sell the car and share her 19-year-old's misdeed with everyone — by placing an ad in the local newspaper.
The ad reads: "OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents who obviously don't love teenage son, selling his car. Only driven for three weeks before snoopy mom who needs to get a life found booze under front seat. $3,700/offer. Call meanest mom on the planet.
Good for her! I pride myself on being a kind of nazi-mom: I do not accept poor behavior from the Darling Munchkin *OR* her friends. I'm happy to be playful and tease and laugh with them, but all of them know that there is a line they must not cross in my household.
Disrespect, irresponsibility, whining, malingering, lying... None of these are tolerated at home in the CatHouse - and it's wonderful to see that there are other parents out there who are willing to hold the line and follow through with real consequences.
"You can choose your actions, but you cannot choose the consequences."
So. Choose your actions wisely.
Hooray for Jane Hambleton; America needs more parents like her!
