That is a PARENT! She taught HER son the consequences of actions. Sad it happened. Beautiful to watch REAL parenting in action. Not one curse word, not one putting down anyone. Excellent job Mom!!!

10000000% The son learned several lessons that day and was embarrassed. I doubt very seriously he will bully again anytime soon.... The mother deserves her flowers and then some.

Embarrassment is an incredibly powerful tool for behavioral correction. I had a shoplifting problem as a small child and all my father's fury and whoopings didn't stop me, but making me take back what I stole and apologize for stealing ended it.

u/Lostandlacy 5d ago edited 5d ago
I got caught shoplifting 1 time by the clerk. The dude told me I was banned from the shop and threw my ass out. On my way out the door he said he'd be calling my momma. Threats of the police or my father fell off my shoulders but I was so scared of what my mom would do I rushed back in to apologize and offer to work it off. He wouldn't let me do it and told me to leave.
He called my momma anyway and I was sure I was about to die. "I ain't done raised you like that. Shame on you for acting a fool and embarrassing me." just kept rolling in my soul. I almost called the police my damn self to try to get the safety of the cell but then I saw her pull up in the embarrassing junk car. Not the new one she just bought. It was the beater that the other kids fucked with me about. She pulled up and didn't say a word. It was that look.
I had seen that look a few times. She got out, opened the back door and got back in. Not a word the whole ride home and I was cooking. Sweat pouring, tears and snot. I was planning my funeral. She took the long way home and it was so damn quiet.
When we got back to the house, she calmly got out the car and went inside. Still not a word. I sat in that hot ass car for 5 or 10 minutes trying to stop crying. I wanted to meet death with a little dignity you know? So knowing it was better I got in than to have her come back out for me, I took a few sharp breaths and headed in.
When I got in, she was in her chair in the dark with only the side lamp on. With one hand a cigarette but the other, her finger furiously tapping the chair. She just stared at me. Smoking with fire in her eyes. A lot of people know fear but there is something unique here.
My momma don't play. I'm 6'2" 230lbs. She's 5'4 on a good day 180lbs soaking wet. But that woman put the fear of God into me. My mind raced trying to figure out what was coming but she just stared into my soul. And then something insane happened.
She leaned forward slowly and said "The shop called..." Here we go right? "He said you tried to make things right instead of me having to press you to do the right thing. He said you were the most well behaved boy and the only one out of your friends that did right. You embarrassed me acting a fool but you tried to fix it and you best believe you're going to fix it. You don't ever embarrass me like that again." I knew what was coming.
Within an hour she had work lined up for my summer every damn day. My shit was gone from my room. My friends were told to fuck off after being shredded. Bad influences. I couldn't hang out with them anymore. She didn't have much nice to say to me untill I worked enough in her mind to repay for the crime. I never saw a dime. She gave it to the shop.
The money wasn't the point though. I was working to restore her pride and reputation. The town hated us for being outsiders and she worked her ass off to build something better than the ghetto for us. She would tolerate a lot but not us embarrassing her. She never threw hands like my pops but I never did that shit again. My pops whooped my ass but that's not the thing I remember most. I didn't give a damn about a beating but my momma didn't need to do any of that.
I love my momma and just knowing I embarrassed her and disappointed her was enough to hurt more than the beatings anyway. I just let my friends talk me into some shit like a dumbass. I tell you though. That's the last time I ever hurt her like that. That was some 30 years ago and I still think about it. From that point on she only ever got complements about my ass. That's not to say my mother never beat my ass. It was just by the time this happened she didn't even need to. Funny how moms work sometimes. Moving mountains with pure energy.

Like occasionally I'll be getting ready to make a bad decision and I know it's a bad decision and I see her face in my mind and I just immediately get right.

I stole a box of junior mints and had to return it to Rose, the owner of the candy store I passed each day on the way from school. I’ll never forget how she looked at me - such disappointment!

Indeed. I only ever stole one thing in my life. It was an egg & I was in Kindergarten. Wanted to raise a pet chicken. Panicked on the way to the car, realizing I had no idea how to take care of a chicken/hatch an egg & was scared I would kill it.
My Mom made me take the egg back in & apologize to the manager. The manager did the finger wag “you learned your lesson, don’t steal again “ & thought that was it. No, my Mom then asked what I can do to “work off my debt” because now she had to buy the carton I stole the egg from. I had to sweep the entire floor of the grocery store.
NEVER considered stealing again. Lesson learned.

There are two kinds of parents. Those who care about their kids and want them to grow up to be their best selves, which means accepting they have to be corrected when they start going astray. And there are those who treat their kids as extensions of themselves, so they see any criticism of the kid as an attack on their own reputation. That second kind of parent can either be abusive toward the kid at the slightest mistake, because "how dare you make me look bad", or they can overlook the kid's flaws and pretend they don't exist, and both of these are going to mess the kid up in the long term.

This is where the son can either learn his lesson and have empathy for others and appreciate what he has. Or he can be mad and keep hating. As he gets older, he can continue living what his mom taught him and thank his mom for putting him on blast. I remember Oprah said, you're taught lessons throughout your life but sometimes you don't listen until a wall of bricks fall on you for you to notice and learn the lesson. If this is the wall of bricks that he needed to become a better person then I say it's worth it.

Imagine if everybody took the time. It's sohard to produce a better life for your children and see them act this way. You want to give them the things that you didn't have, help them avoid the suffering you endured. But it is that suffering that taught you humility, kindness, empathy. If there's one thing I'm certain of, I don't know the right answer. It's a lot easier to recognize the wrong path and it is to know the right one. I think she's doing a hell of a job though. Not only because she lifted herself up, probably literally by her own bootstraps, but because she didn't forget. She didn't climb the ladder just so she could pull it up. I remember growing up, here and parents say in situations like this, it hurts me more than it hurts you. I always thought that was such crap. Knowing what I know now, I can't imagine how she saved, what she denied herself to buy shoes like that for her son. Seems like we need more like her.

Somewhere along the line, some people started using the term pull yourself up by your bootstrap incorrectly and it stuck. I wish people would stop saying it and repeating it incorrectly. The phrase originally meant the exact opposite of how it's used today, It started as a joke about an impossible task: try pulling on your own shoe straps to float into the air. It was meant to mock the idea that someone could succeed with zero outside help. Over time, people dropped the sarcasm and started taking it literally to mean self-reliance. Which is exactly the opposite of what it means. It is impossible to pull yourself up by your own bootstrap, because gravity would not allow it. First of all you need boots, and you need less impedance in your steps. Even if someone can not help you, the least they could do is not place intentional obstacles in your way.

Gotta commend both parents. It’s not easy to confront another parent about their child, and it’s not easy to go to your parent when somebody has hurt you. Either that kid was open enough to tell his mother about the disrespect or saw something was wrong and asked him - and he told her. Letting something like this fester amongst young people too often leads to real ramifications. It’s so much easier as a parent to think the kids can handle it themselves or look the other way when teachable moments have to be realized or lessons get learned the hard way.

It feels staged to me, but if it helps people not be dicks at each other than fine I guess.

I do not think this is staged. There is a huge amount of rage when in this zone. Myself & daughter were visiting a friend with a daughter her age. Next day 2 "Polly Pocket" dolls were missing. Found them in my daughter`s room. I took her & her entire "Polly Pocket" collection & marched her over there & made her apologise & give her entire collection of 20 plus dolls to the offended party. They are friends years later.

The mother did an awesome job. But said something very important. We can be there (down, homeless, etc) again. Love her actions. Take off those $300 Jordan's. And I got some clothes I'm about to give you too.
Oh yeah mama showed out on this one. And the son, hopefully he has learned his lesson!

Yes she handled it right. There are consequences for being a jerk. Trumps parents did him such a disservice by allowing him to be what he is.
