Saw this on the news......totally agree with this mom.....if more parents gave a crap this way...maybe ppl like me and others on this site wont be woke up in the wee hrs of the morning and scraping them up from a DUI MVC or better yet, cleaning up an innocent victim and watching the drunk driver walk fully intact, unhurt to the police crusier! This topic is very close to my heart and this past summer nearly lost 2 ppl locally that i know from a repeat offender with drinkng and driving and yet, he still walks the roads, drives and what not....thanks to an EXCELLENT legal system that seems to cater to the bad guys! So parents who take a role and responsiblity to their children with issues like this....GOOD FOR THEM I say and they are the ppl who are MY HEROS!

i saw this on tv i thought finally hurray for mothers ... bout time a parent stood up n did the right thing. i see so many just turn their heads n dont act like they care til its too late. maybe other parents with any common sense at all will follow in this wonderful ladies path we can only hope. just wish that someday ppl would eventually wake up n see booze n fast cars dont mix in any way form or fashion as they say.. so hugs to the meanest mom i think she is a wonderful mean old mom..lol i agre with lil bug those parents should be heroes for bein awesome parents.... !!!!!!!!!!!!

I applaud her! Standing O!!
... and here I thought I was the meanest Mom... I bought my son a car and gave it to him on Valentines Day 2006. My rules weren't followed either, and being the softy that I am, he even got the 3 strikes option (only because nothing alcohol related was involved...that's a zero tolerance subject with me too)... anyway, long story short, he used all 3 strikes, and needless to say, it's no longer his car.
Difference is, I didn't sell it... it sits in the driveway as a reminder to him that when Mom speaks, dam it, you better be listening, because she means what she's saying.

Good for you gurlie! More parents should be like you, instead of catering to their kids; which is the reason they're so spoiled and without direction in the first place. The government along with the nay-sayers have stripped parents of their rights to parent! A big standing O to you too hunny gurl!

Iplan on following my parent's idea....when i got my first car, it was cause I BOUGHT, I PAID the INS, and I was responsible for everything with the car.....basically...if you have to foot all cost, it did make me more responsible then if they had handed me the wheels and covered the Ins...i guess because i was working it also meant i was more mature and was holding down a job. I know thats not always the way....but it worked in my case
