A teenager told his mom that life would be better without her so she granted his wish. The mom posted to Reddit explaining that her 14 year old son had started acting out at home and at school. She tried to figure out what was happening, but he denied any bullying and he told her that 14 year olds should act out a little. The mom told her son that this behavior was not allowed in her house, which included swearing at his parents, swearing at his teacher, and much more. The two went back and forth for a while when the son blurted out, my life would be better if I didn't have a mother. The comment hurt, but she decided to grant him his wish. She prepared dinner for herself and her husband, but told her son that he could make himself something from the freezer. She didn't make him breakfast the next morning and informed him that he would have to find his own way to school via the bus. Soon enough, this woman's mother-in-law called, accusing her of being a horrible mother and called her petty for the punishment. Anyone with a teenager can tell you, disciplining teens can be particularly challenging. Natural consequences are highly effective in teaching life lessons, and this mom was able to teach her son the actions have consequences.
