We all know about the things that make me sick as a dog, jack. Getting into debt, being irresponsible with the dough, the Green Bay Packers ... you know the drill. But few things steam me like a parent who's a wimp. Jane Hambleton ain't that parent.

The place? Des Moines, Iowa. The deal? She found a bottle of booze in her 19-year-old son's car, so she decided to sell the car as punishment. In the newspaper ad, she even listed herself as the meanest mom on the planet.

Even she admits it might be a little over the top, but she put the foot down. This dame doesn't care if she ain't the most popular mom in the neighborhood. She set the rules. At this rate, if she does the same thing with money, this kid will be the next Warren Buffett.

Follow suit, baby. Be firm ... be a parent. If you ain't got a backbone, you're one step up from a snake.
