worlds meanest mom

I love it!!!! Its great to see other parents still give a shit bout there kids enough to carry out this sort of discipline...Doesn't make me look so mean

i like the part at the end where she says she drank the alcohol and it was awesome!

sounds like a cool lady....

 

Haha, that's pretty funny, but being 19 myself, I do feel like snooping in the car for no reason other than intuition is unfair. Even if she did pay for the car.

 

lol that's great!

 

bein 19 i can see why you would feel that way however, MY HOUSE!!! MY CAR!!!! MY RULEZ! If ya read the article there were a whole 2 rulez... One of which was no alcohol, so its ok to deceive your parent but its not ok for them to make sure you arent deceiving them and abiding by them....

 

I dunno, I do feel like there should a certain set of rules that both the kid and the parent should follow, like, if the mom were to suspect something from how her son acted or what she heard from another kid's parent, she could just ask her son if he had alcohol in the car, and it is only fair that he came clean. If he lied and said no and then the mom found it, it would be very different. My mom and I play by this protocol and I find it works good and we trust each other more than most mother and son.

I would, of course, still say no if my mom asked me if I had alcohol in my car, and lock it in the glovebox or bring it inside asap.

 

People make mistakes, shes kinda leaving him in a hole, hows he going to get to college? I know you have to learn your lesson somehow.. seems like theres got to be another way.

 

well, i think he should have thought about what he would do without a car before he chose to break there rules..

personally i feel his parents were more than generous even buying a car for him to use at all..

hes 19 still living under there roof,if he dont like the rules he knows where the door is..

theres consequences for every action.
i assure you hes better off having this happen than getting a DUI,or worse.

as far as pizzicats last comment..

IMO,
your moms a naive person and has allowed a agreement to be made designed for you to break.. cause you just admitted you would readily deceive her..
all you did was prove that its just for a parent to snoop.

 

who buys their kid a car? i would never buy my kid a car, that's just bad parenting

 

he knew what the rules were, he knows what his mom is like, and if by 19 years old you can't tell if your parents poke their noses in around your stuff from time to time, you're pretty dense.

i never went to much effort to hide things in my parent's house. i kept things away in my room, but usually pretty open once in the room. to be honest i knew my folks went in there occasionally, but i also knew they wouldnt call me out on anything as long as it was within certain limits and there wasn't some other big problem.

they knew i had several pipes, they knew a few things i'd have rather them not know.

but i also knew them finding it wouldn't be the end of the world, even if i was in trouble. now if they had found a bottle of liquor in my car, probably the same thing would have happened to it as to this kid's car.

if you are 19 years old and living at home, you're old enough to know your parents, their rules, and what is and is not okay!

me having a bowl in my room would be way different in the eyes of my parents to me taking my girlfriend to my room for the evening or driving with a partially consumed bottle of booze under the front seat.

i still risked things that would get me into trouble of course, but on the rare occasion i did get in trouble i understood why and how it happened, and i knew i had no room to bitch about ME fucking up.

its totally fair, he should have known better. when and if i have kids, i will keep "snooping" to a bare minimum and respect their privacy as much as i feel is SAFE! having a kid is a huge responsibility, and sometimes safety would be far more important than fairness. not just to keep your family intact and your relatives alive, but to help do the same for other families who have someone out on the road.....

i think this is awesome. in fact i'm about to email the article to my mother haha

 

it was over a bottle of smirnoff twisted pomegranate fusion. If my car got taken away i would have to have everclear or something

 

Did it say that in the article?

 

oh i just read it. That's cool lol that she drank it too!

 

The kid is kind of lame for drinking smirnoff twisted pomegranate fusion anyway. If I was his dad, I would take away his car just because he was drinking a bitch drink.

 

it said it was pomegranate fusion at the end of the article. i dont remember saying how much.

 

in this situation i can understand because she said no alcohol an he clearly broke that rule
but i cant stand snoopy parents
my mom used to kind of snoop around my stuff until i caught her snooping in my sisters room and i told her to cut the shit and talk to us instead
if your a good parent, then you should hopefully have gained your childrens trust and just talk to him instead of having a "feeling", which seems bullshit to me, and snooping around
then again this kid is clearly not very honest with his parents or he would still have the car

 

the recurring theme here seems to be that the parents should blindly trust there kids to not break the rules. im telling you as a parent,no kid doesnt break the rules. some kids never lie to there parents,some kids do.
generally by 19 a parent knows there child well enough to know how far they can be trusted.

and it would appear this parent knows there kid pretty well..

just because your kid chooses to deceive you does not make you a bad parent,it does however bring into question the childs morality,especially when there well into there teens.

 

I made my wife watch this on the news earlier tonight in hopes she'll pick up on it. That mom completely did the right thing. Fact is She bought the car, She pays the mortgage, and so on % so forth, so it is only fair that when SHe felt the need to search his car she did. Doesn't matter if the booze was his or not (as he says it's not), he is responsible for the people he allows in the car. I say wtg to that mom.

All of you who sympathize with the teen, look up some aftermaths of drunk driving accidents. They are never pretty, and one way or another he has to learn.

 

how do we know he used to drink the car?
maybe he was just storing it there.
fuck that mom she seems like a loser ass parent.
i'd hate for hippybilly to my parent, he'd kick me out if i drank at his house?
fuck you asshole, you're a bad parent.
kicking your son out because he drinks means that your love is conditional
as in, "do what i say or else i'll no longer support you as your parent"
what kind of parenting is this?

 

The guy was 19 -- isn't that a legal adult?
Why would the parents care if he was drinking? He shouldn't be drinking while driving of course, but was he? Is that what the article said? I must admit I only browsed...
I just don't get why parents would impose rules on their kids after 18. I just don't get it. IMO anyone who does that is a control freak.
