she calls herself the “World’s Meanest Mom,” but a Minnesota mother said she has a reason for selling her daughter’s dream truck on Craigslist.
Amy Adams said her daughter “decided that her grades don’t matter, that she can disrespect myself and her siblings on a daily basis and that she has the right to skip school and run away from home.”
Adams added her daughter, who was just about to get her driver’s license, “was on her ‘one more chance and the truck was getting sold.’ And, she blew that ‘one more chance’ on Monday when she decided to skip school.”
The ad has generated hundreds of responses, many of them supportive – some even from other parents who aren’t even interested in buying the 1998 Dodge Ram she listed at $2,750, Adams told WFMY.
It wasn’t just the tough parental justice that turned heads, Adams clearly took pleasure in writing the following:
“If the person driving the truck on a daily basis will be attending North Branch high school next year, you will get a $300 discount. Why? Because, I AM the World’s Meanest Mom and would love for her to be reminded every day next year of all of the mistakes she made.”
The Craigslist post has since been flagged and taken down – Adams believes her daughter’s high school friends are doing it – but she said she’ll keep on posting it.
Adams said she, too, was a “snippy,” “obnoxious” teenager, but it was her mother – who preferred to be seen as a “mean mom” rather than a friend – whose values kept Adams on the right path.
Adams said she hopes her daughter “realizes that it’s okay to discipline your kids. And, it’s okay to have expectations (and) consequences.”
Sounds more like a disrespectful daughter. But then, in today’s liberal world she was just expressing her inner self and it’s the mother’s fault for being so restrictive. Daughter’s self esteem take precedence.
She is micro-aggressing her daughter, watch out.
Too bad it is not a Ford, I might would get it just on principle.
Girl driving that? Wonder if she has a Skoal ring on the back of her Wranglers
We need more mothers like this!

I drive a 2001 F150 with 200k miles that runs like it’s new. Not one creak, not one rattle. The 5.4l engine is just getting broken in.
I love that truck.
Oohhhhhhh Kaaaaaaaaay.....
Oh, WOW!
A “consequence”!!!
I thought they were extinct!
And that son, is how strippers are manufactured.
If the daughter didn’t earn the money to pay for it, then it wasn’t her truck.
Good for mom!
Good Mom!
Nightmares are dreams too...
"And that place you eat & sleep, that's mine too!"
I think my step-mother was the meanest. She would surely be in prison if she tried some of the stuff she did these days.
What’s the over-under on the presence of a tramp-stamp tattoo on her butt & back? 50,000:1 ?
It could be for a 15yo kid looking forward to their first car.
Believe me, I would have loved to have that truck at that age as opposed to the piece of junk I was stuck driving with.
No daddy mentioned in the article and mom is reduced to parenting via airstrikes.
She's too young to legally have tattoos, but almost certainly has some prison style ink on her ankles and wrists.
More irrelevance.
