Question

[velvetpage]

I came across this link twice in the space of five minutes yesterday, and most reactions to it were comments like, "This mom is my new hero."

Except for one, who claimed the mom was being abusive with her zero-proof attitude and willingness to publicly humiliate her son.

So, dear readers, which is it? Is she a reasonable mom enforcing a reasonable restriction on the use of a vehicle still in her name, or is she a tyrant and abusive parent?

I agree with most of the other comments. She only had two rules, and he broke one. By following through, she not only showed her son she meant what she said, but hopefully taught him to expect people to do what they say and to do so himself.

There was nothing in the ad that seemed humiliating to me. Just a statement of facts. He may have been embarrassed, but I doubt he will get caught breaking his mom's rules again. :)
