The idea of having a child is a thrilling one, and things are more or less perfect while the kids are still very young. However, once they reach certain age, they believe they are mature enough to do things their own way which makes moms and dads feel helpless or as they failed as parents. The thing is that most teenagers go through this stage, and many realize (sooner or later) that they were wrong and that they should take their parents advice.
Heidi Johnson is a loving mother who does all in her power to give her son the life he deserves. Of course, she expects from him to respect her and be polite and nice in return. Well, more or less like every other parent out there.
Aaron on the other hand is convinced that with his 13 years he’s old enough to do whatever he pleases, and that includes disrespecting his mom’s house rules.
Heidi wouldn’t put up with such behavior and decided to take matters in her own hands, and now the way she dealt with her teenage son’s arrogance and misbehavior has gone viral.
Namely, she accidentally posted the letter that contains a ‘bill’ that Aaron should pay every month for the things he was getting for free such as rent and food. She believed that would teach him a lesson, and as it turns out she nailed it.
“The child is going to have a rude awakening today after the words he exchanged with me last night. Not only will he find this on the door, but his mattress stripped, and the toys and clothes that I bought confiscated. He will have three options.. Buy his own, rent his clothes at $3 a day, or renegotiate his terms of being a child. Mama’s done playing games and being a doormat.”

Different people reacted differently to the post. While some of them praised this mom’s action, others believed she overreacted and didn’t approve of her disciplinary repercussion.
“Way to go, Mom. Your son will be an excellent roommate, friend, guest, spouse, employee because you taught him consequences,” one Facebook user wrote.
“Well done!!! That’s how you raise self disciplined,responsible caring human beings to be proud of!!” Another Facebook user exclaimed, supporting Heidi’s parenting style.
