Parenting is a roller-coaster ride full of surprises. Some parenting ways may work for others, while some may not. Anyhow, at the end of the day, no parent would wish harm to their child. And all of their actions are done out of parental love and concern.

This was the case with Heidi Johnson, a loving mother who only wants the best for her son. When her 13-year-old son, Aaron disrespected her house rules, ignored and lied about his homework, she made sure that her son would learn a valuable lesson he won’t forget. Heidi spoke to him calmly to sort out these issues but he arrogantly fought and told her he earned his own money from YouTube.

So Heidi came up with a brilliant idea. She wrote an open letter to her son and before sticking it to his room door she clicked a picture of the letter and posted it on Facebook for family and some friends to see it.

Heidi wrote a bill in the note to make him realize when he said he can make it on his own. “I wrote a bill to make a point. Nothing comes for free. Someone is making a sacrifice somewhere down the line.”, she wrote.

The letter was widely shared on Facebook. She received mixed reactions though many gave love and supported her for expressing some tough love to her child. Whether you agree with Heidi’s parenting style or not, we all agree as parents we need to show our children their limits and correct them for their good.
