Its about time parents started acting like parents instead of “friend”
I had a mean Mom, and God bless her, she taught me how to be a mean Mom. My son thanks me for it occasionally too.

No.
My mom was a friend first, mother second. I knew I could get away with just about anything and it nearly cost me my life on two occasions. My brother behaved similarly and has been in and out of jail for years.
When my kids say I’m mean or unfair, I wear it as a badge of honor. Its easy to be strict when you know the consequences of not being strict.
He deserves to have the car taken away for drinking that.
We never had a problem, but then our sons didn't go out driving around a lot anyway. Their friends tended to come to our house and hang out in the Bat Cave; the basement family room, which was accessible to the outside, so they could come and go as they pleased. They couldn't sneak in or out, though, because the door needed to be pushed hard to be shut. You could hear it all through the house. ;o)
Parents should not be ‘friends’ until their offspring are at least 30 ... it works much better that way.

personally, i do not find it hard being a “mean mom.” my kids know what it all means... and they also know which of their friends have mean moms... btw—they don’t ever say “mean mom.” they just say, “Mrs. So-and-so is a lot like you, Momma.”
