You Need to Read This Mom’s Tough Love Letter to Her Teenager

[Scroll below to read letter]

Part of being a teen is talking back to your parents and getting annoyed with them. But sometimes it’s hard to realize just how much patience and love parents really bring to the table. A 13-year-old learned this lesson the hard way after not treating his mom with the proper respect.

Aaron apparently lied about doing his homework, back talked to his mom, and bragged to her about how he was making his own money now.  So to show a little tough love, his mom, Estella, wrote him this loving little note.

She basically said if you are going to treat me like a bad roommate instead of a loving son, then you can pay me like a roommate.

This note went viral on Facebook, racking up more than 80,000 shares in a very short time. Hopefully the kid learned his lesson!
