It's great when funny stories like this happen every now and then to brighten up our days. Even more, this one is a proof that parents care
about their kids, unlike different reports say and they do have the final call when it comes to how things should be.
Beth, a single mom from Richmond, VA, has asked her 13-year-old kid to do his chores instead of playing his Xbox 360 console, but the child had other plans: he intentionally broke the vacuum cleaner and continued to play, like nothing had happened. Of course, his mom got angry and decided to teach the kid a lesson: she decided to sell the Xbox 360 and all the games on eBay in order to buy a new vacuum cleaner and teach her son the value of money.
Things got a bit worse when Beth, while pranking her son's MySpace account by placing a Snoopy picture on it and passwording the computer, checked the cookies and found out that he had also checked some adult websites. Yes, the same 13-year-old son. So, the poor little fellow (we really hope he has learned his lesson) will have to get back to the old magazines hidden under the bed. But we're sure mom is checking that regularly now, too.
Here are the mom's words, straight from eBay, "Yes I am the mean mom who is selling her sons XBOX and games to replace the vacuum he broke but also to teach him a lesson that things cost money, and you should respect your parents. Games: Tony Hawks Proving Ground, Call of Duty 4, College Hoops 2K6, Project Gotham Racing, Ghost Recon, Madden 07, NCAA 08, Halo 3 (with two books on Halo). Also comes with XBOX games: FAmily Guy, Ghost Recon, Halo 2, a wireless headset, a second remote & quite possibly the wireless Halo earpiece--that I'm still trying to locate--"
So everything sounds great until now. We have a mother who cares about her son, wants to teach him a lesson and we totally agree. Still, if we look closely to the list of the games her son had (and she was the one that brought them in the first place - probably), we notice some mature rated titles. Now... doesn't that mean that somewhere within this story Beth has a little bit of a fault, too?

This whole topic is a good indicator of that, rather then hitting the kid and or grounding him, she plays pranks with his myspace (are you sure she isnt 13 and hes the adult?) and sells his things. |
