According to some, she should have found a better way to tell her son his behavior wasn’t appropriate.

“Basically, you are a bully, who is using her power over her son to force him to do what she wants. Yeah, that works…until they are actually independent,” one person commented.

Heidi, however, believes she knows best and is only trying to teach Aaron about the right values in life. This is what she had to say to defend her action.
“I wrote him a “bill” to make a point. Nothing comes free. Someone is making a sacrifice some where down the line. When I realized he had lied to me about homework, I put time constrictions to his internet access.”

Aaron was mad for what his mom did because he believed no one had the right to tell him how to live his life. This is mainly because he has his own YouTube channel and makes some money from it, so despite being just 13, he felt like he could be completely independent.

“Really? What are you going to do? You can’t take my stuff…” Heidi shared Aaron’s initial reaction towards his punishment.

However, after he gave it a second thought, he understood his mom’s point and realized she was right. He said how he won’t lie about his homework again and would respect her opinion.

“He apologized, and asked what could he do to make things better and start earning items back. He earned his comforter and some clothes right back. I did leave him some clothes to begin with, just not the ones he would want to wear everyday. He also had some pillows and sheets, just not his favorite ones.” Heidi added.

At the end, the two came up with the idea of creating a contract about the things Aaron is expected to do.

They are not getting along and Heidi is glad she found the way to make her son realize his mistake.
