worlds meanest mom

I just read the whole article, and I have to say this is terrible parenting. It's not about selling the car that she bought. It's about exploiting her sons actions when all it was was a bottle of malt liquor. Just because it was in the car does not mean he was drunk driving or anyone else was.
Parents and kids should have enough mutual trust between them that they can talk about things like this. She should not have treated him like a child. It didn't sound like she even really talked to him about it (asked the situation, who's it was, who was drinking it, were they driving, etc?). She just assumed because there was a drink in the car that he was drunk driving.
And she thought the whole thing was funny? Even drinking the beverage afterwards? In my mind that's just sadistic.
But HHB is questioning the boys morality because he kept something from his mother? You don't have to tell your parents everything (especially when you're a legal adult) and you don't have to tell your friends or anyone else everything and it doesn't make you a bad person to keep something to yourself.
This thread made me madder than the article.

 

what a BITCH...! First off, she's snooping... second, he's 19, lay off... then she sells his car? If its in his name, I'd say sue her ass! Then use the money to buy alcohol. lol

 

this story pissed me off. that lady is a ****. first of all, the kid's over 18, get over it. second of all, even if she was gonna punish him for it despite the fact that he's a legal adult, selling his car was well beyond extreme. and even though it was humorous, admitting that she drank it after taking it away emphasized how much of a **** she is.

as far as the kid goes, at 19, he should have half a brain and should have known his mother and how she acts. even if she was an easy-going mother, under your car seat is by-far the stupidest place to hide a bottle of lq. especially if you leave your keys lying around the house. if i was his father, i would have giving him a slap across the head for being so stupid. who knows though? i shouldn't be one to talk. for all i know, the kid JUST got the bottle and it was only under his seat over night. maybe it WASN'T his bottle like he said and he was holding it for a friend. if that was the case, i'd probably keep it under the seat until i gave it to him the next day or whenever unless it was like a week later or something. who the hell would expect their mother to search their car RIGHT when they put it there.

all things aside, very bad parenting and the mother is an extreme bitch.

 

She did pay for the car. New.

 

You want PCP to be legalized. You aren't allowed an opinion. lol

 

yeah, she GAVE him the car. He can't complain. In fact, that's the bad parenting part. Make the lazy bastard buy his own! I did, and my parents won't ever take the Jolly Bong away.

 

He had illegal products in the car and she took it so what...

 

Baby I think everything should be legalized. I've never done PCP and I'm fairly sure I don't want to (I will try Ketamine first, and robotrip a lot more, and if I enjoy both of those I might try angel dust). Legalize PCP just looks eyecatching and extreme. Like a T-shirt slogan for a drug user's Hot Topic.

But besides this, let's look closely at the facts of this case.

The mom bought the son a new car and probably pay for the upkeep as well. I'm assuming he's a little bit of a rich spoiled brat, probably unfairly. He gets caught with a mango pineapple bitch twist or whatever the fuck kind of alcohol he had in his car that shouldn't have been there unless it was left there by a girl. If he has alcohol in the car he was probably drinking and driving, which means he doesn't even care about crashing a brand new car which he doesn't deserve in the first place, and he has no respect for his saftey or others. So this dude is not someone I think I would like, and I don't want to side with him.

However, the mom is clearly an inept parent. She's all over the place. She buys him new cars and shit, raises him to drink fruity spritzer limeades or some such nonsense, and can't even trust him enough to ask him rather to snoop around a car. If she is lacking in that amount of trust, why buy him a new fucking car?

Both of these people are probably douches IRL.

 

you just changed my opinion i agree with you now lol. and i was joking about the PCP shit. fuck it, let's all go out and get cocked off them mango pineapple bitch twists!

 

Legal age is 21 in states... right or wrong, agree or disagree it is how it is... if that car was in mommies name it was mommies insurance... if the kid was so adult,, like many of you here, then why is he still in mommy's home under mommy's roof and driving vehicles mommy has bought. Many of you do not realize,,, children are a monetary responsibility to parents until the age of 21 ,,, in other words,,, if kid cant pay parents do if that kid is under 21 and in that home.... ie... adult kids havin parties n lil drunk debbie wrecks on way home,,, kid havin said party aint at fault its the parents,,, yall really have sooo much learning to do... you think having kids and then teens and shit is easy yer fuckin wrong..its a whale of responsibility on us that you guys just have a hard time fathoming,,, for the most part, ,, hopefully over the years you will learn and understand more,,,
... It is one thing if the kid paid all that shit on his own but ya can bet yer sweet bippy he doesnt n he is codlded n cooed to like many of so called adults in our society... we are your mothers n fathers not your best friends rules are rules and thats that, ya dont like them ,move the fuck out after all you are adults right????

 

Last time I checked, 18 was the legal age in my state.

 

to drink or be so called adult? ,,, look deeper,, there alot more to laws than just readin a number,,, and assuming that it means legality in all ways,,,

 

To be called adult. To drink you have to be 21. I guess that's what you meant.
What I don't understand is making rules for teenagers that are more appropriate for kindergartners.

 

i think one day you will understand it better...

I am a pretty liberal mother when it comes to my kids,,, many things i allow n have allowed my children(19,17,15) to do that many parents call foul, I have very few rules when it comes to them but,, the ones i do have i expect to be followed and if they cant have the decency and adultness to go by those rules that i do set forth there has to be consequences in there actions...A lil hand slap at 18 does no good,, at some point they have to become responsible and drastic measure such as taking of vehicles etc need to be done.... They are getting ready to go out into the real world and much as we would all like to think that reality is about fun, peace happiness and luv it isnt....
Think of it this way for a minute...Even if the kid had been stopped for a violation for speeding,, that is alcohol in the hands of a minor,,,, just think of all the ramifications of that at 18,,,,i dont know if the bottle was open, but if it had been it is open container and alcohol by underage.... Do you have a clue how much the lawyer would charge alone , forget about the loss of his license, insurance rates going up,,, etc etc,,,,, one stupid choice by a person thinking they are doing no harm can lead to a lot of consequences even if he was not doing anything wrong at the time other than speeding.... Being an adult is like that, you have to take all the aspects all the scenarios into play before hand..As parents we see that and attempt to instill it in our kids as they grow up but at some point when they still dont seem to understand someone has to stand up n n go HEY.... look at this its time you learn a huge lesson that other means of attempting to teach you obviously hasnt done... ...It isnt because we wanna make yall suffer ,,, believe me ,, when we make you suffer we are too ... by doin what the mom did here,,, think bout all the new responsibilities someone is going to have to take on cuz the kid no longer has wheels.... it isnt as cut n dry as many young adults seem to think it is,,, mean mom vs cool mom stuff...its just that many of the young people seem to think it is all bout that,,, i say wait a 15years and then see what the attitudes of all the mean mommy kids would say then ... having kids and aging play a huge part in the whole thing....

 

I understand what you're saying, but I think at 19, a person is too old to be "disciplined". They have to learn from their own mistakes at that point, at least IMO. I think, if the parents were reasonable (as you seem to be) the kid would be open to talking to them about these things instead of hiding them.

 

LoL ... We all hope that n i realize all kids lie n deceive the rentz at some point,, i know i did like all the time
Tis something i have always tried to change with my kids too... We have always been very open about everything and i sometimes have to tell the kids,,, that yes there are somethings parents do not need to know... but i also know that very few people have that sort of relationship and kids r kids,,, but there are certain things i have rulz to n they know if they are broke,,,, that mom aint gonna fix the mess they done made,,, That is also something that has to be done since babydom though ,,, cant expect a kid that been coddled n cooed all his life to all the sudden be responsible and know such things at the drop of a hat when all the sudden what mom or dad say is actually going to be enforced.... when it hasnt been for the previous 17 yrs...

 

There are arguments in EVERY thread around here aren't there??!

I skimmed through some of this thread, and I will agree with dilli on this one. 18 or 21 doesn't make you an adult. Having the ability to buy smokes, liquor, or rent a hotel room doesn't make you responsible. Heck you still can't rent a car!!

Kidding aside though, of course all of these teenagers and new "adults" would think that mother has bad parenting skills. But I think she's got great rules! She only gave the kid 2 rules about the car, and one of them was no alcohol. He broke it so she got creative. I love creative people like that. Especially the one's who've got balls!

I have a baby so I can't relate to any of this stuff yet, but I do know that I gave my parent's a ton of shit! I was smoking and drinking and doing drugs at 14! I lost my virginity in 8th grade, and they found out about it. I really put them through hell for all of my high school years. I didn't even graduate, but did later get my ged.

I moved out of the rent's house at 17, and moved back home 9 months later.. They had rules for me then! I had to get a job, and pay back all of the money I owed them. I had to give my mom the rest of the money I was making to save. Then I was stealing my money back and spending it on coke and weed. I've done some really stupid shit when I was a supposed adult. I really needed some good hard disipline.


So the moral of the story is: Life sucks. That mother is trying to protect her son. That's all.

 

ah but we in the stoner lounge its all good,,, we bitch we complain we bicker n disagree then pack a bowl n forget wtf we were all so worked up over...

 

lol thank god for forgetting!

 

Or a caring parent who doesnt want her child doing things that might put his and the lives of others at risk every time he gets into that car under the influence of booze. But i also agree that personally i wouldnt like it if my mom or dad was snooping around in my stuff but if they found out without snooping that i had booze or something they have every right to punish me however they feel is nessacary because i am living under there roof and there by there rules i mite not like it and i mite complaine but in the end i know they most likely know what they are talking about and i mite not always think its best but i know its true like my dad told me one day "Every thing you have or will do Ive prolbablly Already done it and got away with it,And if i didnt do it then its not worth doing"
