“Meanest mom on planet.”

Sounds more like she is a “Mom” and not a “Best Friend”.

Too many parents are trying to be pals instead of parents. Good job mom!

My mother used to say, "I'm neither your friend nor your peer."

While it bugged me when she said it, for some strange reason my son heard it a lot from me when he was a kid.
