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?

Now, the wording of the add is the funny part. I believe she worded it that way to get top dollar, and she did so in a way as to not name her kid. The only people who would know would be anyone who read the add and happened to know him and his number. A bit of a brow raiser, but excusable. Now that it is all over the internet is another story though. It is out of her hands to an extent (she had to agree to this for it to be a story) But she is fast not to implicate her son in any wrong doing (booze being his) and has now raised him to local celebrity status at his school I bet (either good or bad, still well known) Keeping the add in for an additional week though after all of this is overkill and ego stroking for her I think. And I don't agree with that. She should have stopped at the selling of the car and then pulled the add.
