Naasire Muhammad had had enough.
This single mom from Winston-Salem, North Carolina decided to go on strike in front of her home and picket her teenage daughters’ behavior in full view of the neighborhood.
She’s been walking around, she says, “until [her] knees hurt” to show her daughters she means business. One of them reportedly keyed the new minivan.
“I’m to the point where I’m just so frustrated, so to keep my hands off my kids or to keep me from doing something crazy, I just decided to go on strike. I walk up and down the sidewalk until my knees hurt, and then I sit down,” she told WFMY News 2. “My children have everything that they could possibly want and need, but yet still, they are disrespectful.”
“They are rude. They think that I’m the meanest mom in the world. They think they can survive without me, so I said, you know what? That’s fine. This mom is going on strike,” she added.
Well, that’s certainly one way to send a message. Maybe one of this kind would more effectively reach a teen.
