What Is This, A Tough Mother Contest?
Yesterday, I posted a story about a mother who sold her kids toys on Ebay because they mis-behaved.
Today, I find another story of "tough Motherly love" in Florida, and I'm wondering if these mothers are trying to out-tough the other.
What's going on here? 15-year-old James Mond is being forced by his mother to stand on various Tampa, Florida street corners with a sign that details his poor GPA and bad score on an achievement test.
The sign encourages motorists to “Honk if I need an education.”
Rhoda Holder says James will have to perform this task for a week, and believes her tough love will prevent her child from becoming a drop out.
Psychologist Stacey Scheckner, who My Fox Tampa spoke to, thinks this humiliating technique will backfire and result in James acting out more.
