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.”
Dream truck? Dang....
Proper name on the back ofthat truck or potential buyers... Dodge it.
had a good friend years ago that got his son a BB gun...rule #1 was never take that gun out of the house unless daddy was with him and they were going to the woods to practice....He came home early one day and there was his son playing with the gun in the drive way....dad took the gun and busted it in 2 on the cement drive way.....told son to pick up the pieces and throw them in the garbage...parents use to know how to handle problems with their kids immediately...he went into the house for dinner...
