#3 Meanest mom ever!
The three kids did not care to show any manners and instead their mom was tagged as the meanest mom ever. This is harsh!
Every mom wants her kids to love her and respect her. Rather she loves it when others praise their children and bless them with best wishes. However, this mom happened to tag herself the meanest mom ever. Nevertheless, when you go through the entire incident even you would support her.
#2 Actual Incident
She recently shared a post on facebook in which she tells how she became the most brutal mom for her three kids and few mothers but what she did was necessary to make sure they remember the incident for life.
She says,"Now I am the bad guy! However, I want my kids to remember these small incidents for life that would help them the larger things. The other day, I took my three musketeers to Dairy Queen for buying them ice cream after dinner. I walked them to the counter and helped them order their flavours. While we were waiting at the counter, a young girl, may be 17, came with our orders. One by one, she handed the ice creams to all three of my kids, however to my surprise none of them spoke a word. They did not even look! I waited patiently while they dunked into their ice creams and started walking towards the exit door. The girl and I shared a look, as of she expected me to say something. I followed them outside and counted until 10, and finally took all the ice creams from them to throw them to dustbin at the back side.
But why did she do that, read that ahead!
#1 Lesson Taught for Life!
I saw their eyes popping out and puffy astonished faces and broke my silence when finally they realised that I have been watching and waiting to mention something serious.
I explained to them that there would be a day when they will no more be 8,7 or 5 and will have to work. Moreover, if they are consistent enough they might land up in one such job and they would definitely, won't like such an ignorant attitude. No appreciation, no thank you! At least a look? They would definitely want people to at least, look at them. So isn't even your responsibility to have the minimum decency to say a thank you to that lady for bringing your ice creams? And hence, I became a mean mom!"
I agree it was harsh and probably there could have been several different ways I explain it to them. However, I wanted them to remember it. Not for the day, not for the week, but for their lifetimes. Sometimes being mean can help more than being considerate.
