When Mom published this letter on Facebook, she didn't realize it was public... Now it's going viral!
Aaron makes a little money off of his YouTube videos and starts to feel a sense of entitlement.
Heidi Johnson’s son, Aaron, lied to her about finishing his homework. When he was asked about his lie, he said that since he had a job now, he would get to it eventually.
To deal with this, the mother went about the situation brilliantly.
She simply wrote a letter to her son and left it on his door. The letter was more of a mutual understanding since her little child was so "independent."
You can read the letter below, it is hilarious.
Dear Aaron,
Since you seem to have forgotten that you are only 13 and I’m the parent, and that you won’t be controlled, I guess you will need to learn a lesson in independence. Also, as you threw in my face that you are making money now, it will be easier to buy back all the items I bought for you in the past.
If you would like your lamp/lightbulbs or access to the internet, you will need to pay your share of costs:
Rent: $430
Electricity: $116
Internet: $21
Food: $150
Also you will need to empty the trash Mon, Wed & Friday as well as sweep and vacuum those days. You will need to keep your bathroom clean weekly, prepare your own meals and clean up after yourself. If you fail to do so I will charge you a $30 maid fee for every day I have to do it.
If you decide you would rather be MY CHILD again instead of a roommate, we can negotiate terms.
Love,
Mom
The mother meant to only share this letter with her friends and family but she accidentally made it public where it somehow went viral.
The post has since been shared over 165,000 times.
She wrote in an update that her son initially crumpled up the note and stormed out when he saw it, but later came around.
She says he apologized and asked what he could do to earn back items she had taken from his room — including some electronics, his favorite sheets, and some clothes.
Mom’s untraditional way of handling the situation worked, at least for the time being.
