‘World’s Meanest Mom’ sells daughter’s dream truck on Craigslist

Maybe over the top, maybe not. My dad was my father, I was not his beer drinking buddy. Love my son , but he is not my "best friend", he is my son and everything that comes with it. "New age" parents need to figure this out. There is a real world out there with "real life" responsibilities (and people that may say vwery bad words, let alone cut your head off). The only "safe zone" is in a basement or apparently in our universities where our kids/grand kids are being taught and "protected and sheltered" by professional students who have never had a real world job, ie>>> Tenured Professors. just sayin. God forbid you actually explain what a "chore" is to todays' kids. Going to my "safe zone" now. (Where's my PS4 controller ?, dang it) Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me. (Old American saying but now meaningless.) Oh.. look.. a Unicorn!!!

 

Just maybe the daughter will learn her lesson. If not then she won't and she won't have a truck any longer.

 

I say good for the mom, children have to have limits and if they cross those lines then there needs to be punishment. At her age she should be more mature and I think losing the truck would be good for her, and if the mom thinks selling it will teach her that lesson then good for the mom. Just my .02 worth.

 

Good call mom.

 

Honestly, it's each parents call what to do with their kids. Barring the extreme ends of the spectrum of either side (beating your kid vs doing jack to discipline them) I believe kids should have their butts whipped in certain situations up to a certain age. Obviously, this little girl's too old to get a butt whipping. Hey if she can't follow the rules, she can't drive. My parents took away my keys and chauffeured me to school as a senior, upon which, they would make a point to get out, give me a paper bag and wave to alllllll my buddies (and the freshmen). Needless to say, whatever I did, I made it a point not to do that again LOL.
Point being, kids need to learn discipline. If they don't learn it early on, the consequences will be much worse as an adult (prison - screwed career - screwed life) but hey, parents aren't supposed to PARENT, they're supposed to let snot nosed kids with NO logic, NO respect, NO idea do what they think is right. Yeah.....good idea.

look at this one..

 

I don't blame the guy.

 

I had my hardship license the day I turned 15 and a Ford futura to drive. Ugly car, but damn it I had a JVC hyperbass pull out tape deck, 2 6x9s, a bass tube in the trunk and my whole classes respect. About 6 months in, I decided to skip school and drive 30 minute away to go to detention with another buddy at his school... which they actually let me go in, no questions asked. I didn't do it for my buddy, but a 16 year old hottie that liked me was having to go to and wanted me to meet her, which turned out really well for me. Long story short, my dad found out and gave me the chance to come clean. Of course i lied and because of lying, not skipping, he literally had the car sold the next day. I was his way or NOT the highway! I moved out at 17, but not only did I not lie to my dad again, I didn't skip school... until I moved out anyway. It was painful, but I love my dad for teaching me right from wrong. If there were more belts on the ass and old school parenting, this country would be better off! Don't lie to papa kiddos

 

Yeah, odd thing is I never got in that much trouble for the crap I did, it was more lying, sneaking around, etc. the small stuff always got to my parents more than the big stuff.
LOL oh @TruckyTruck the crap teenagers do just to impress or "hook up" with a hot girl. Man, guys ARE stupid when hormones come in aren't they? Hahahahaha

 

I am the disciplinarian in my family. My wife is softy and when I try to impose penalty, she is behind the kid gesturing me "please", haha. I am softy too, but my children don't fully realize that yet.

Yes, I do agree with the general idea of suffering the consequence of their actions, but I don't need to have their privacy violated this way.

 

Oh man, mine was belts, telephone wires (back when telephones HAD wires), flip flops, a good old fashioned open palm, anything that was nearby! You name it, I've had my butt whipped with it! My mom was the displinarian, but let me tell you, for a 5'6" woman, she had strength!! LOL
I don't know about the smaller switches bro, my mom would've beat my butt with a tree trunk if I brought it to her! You gotta think, yes the smaller ones sting, but the bigger ones pack more of a wallop! Damned if you do, damned if you don't!

 

Man explains the state america's in now. No respect, no discipline, just a bunch of feel good, "I need a safe space", unicorn loving, rainbow farting hippies who think a liberal arts major at university will Pay off student loans.
Do I sound cynical? If I do, it's because I am a cynical smart ass and proud of it LOL MURICA!! @ColoradoTJ

 

If i was that kid, i would be glad they got rid of that piece. Then once I "learned my lesson" use the money and buy something a lot nicer. Since the mom said that's what she said she would do...
