"Meanest Mom on Planet"

From Fox News:
Jane Hambleton has dubbed herself the "meanest mom on the planet."

After finding alcohol in her son's car, she decided to sell the car and share her 19-year-old's misdeed with everyone — by placing an ad in the local newspaper.

The ad reads: "OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents who obviously don't love teenage son, selling his car. Only driven for three weeks before snoopy mom who needs to get a life found booze under front seat. $3,700/offer. Call meanest mom on the planet."

Hambleton has heard from people besides interested buyers since recently placing the ad in The Des Moines Register.

The 48-year-old from Fort Dodge says she has fielded more than 70 telephone calls from emergency room technicians, nurses, school counselors and even a Georgia man who wanted to congratulate her.


I'm just glad to see a parent actually take their job seriously.

I'll have to write that one down. Nothing beats shame as far as teaching a lesson goes. I've got 3 little girls under the age of 5 at home, and I'm sure I'll have to deal with lessons like this some day. The meanest Mom on the Planet is my hero.
