'Meanest Mom on the Planet' sells son's car

Jan 11th 2008 12:10AM (ParentDish)
Interesting story, i believe she had a right to make the ad but actually sell it? Not so sure, especially if her son is 19 if that was his age. Ive read alot of the parents comments on here, understand where theyre coming from but from my own view ill try to best address this. As a 19 year old male living in america i can understand why parents get what they call "disrespect" or "resent" from their children, being on the other side of the fence let me tell you whats wrong with the issue here. Children will never listen to you if you say "dont do that". They cant relate. If you explain why you feel that way youre be alot better off getting a positive response or the one you like. Me and my mother are very close, we've always been. Shes set down her own laws when i was growing up. But you see shes always let me know why and her own reasons. American parents these days are out of the box. Theyre worse then the ones during the 50s. Controlling your children does nothing more then make them dependant, lazy and angry with you and many other things. You learn things from experiencing them. And i know the legal age thing for drinking. But think of it like this, is the law just when i can go to war and die at that age. Here is why the drinking age is 21. You have a huge population amount between 18-21. You see if you cut the people there, who are the ones who crash the most from drug influence, mostly alcohol in this situation. You remove a large amount of people, especially who are in the catagory i just explained. its much like the laws that will happen soon with the elderly driving. However in light of all this i believe the best way for things to be kosher between parents and their children is raise them like the british do. Its good to help your kids but make sure they can provide for their own while theyre up and rising, otherwise they lose alot of experience they could of had. Too many parents look at their kids like property, like a pet. "You do this, my house my rules". It should be more like. "Why do you feel the way you do, lets talk about it". "Yeah i did that as a kid too thats why my experience with it is negative". Any way i wish the parents out there luck. I too one day will be raising my own, hopefully ill do a good job with what i already know.

The person who wrote this is a fool, much like the people commenting. Theres nothing wrong with 'writing' a little hot story with a loved one. You watch it visibly but you wont write it? People are full of crap.
