THE DAILY BLADE: Britney’s Mother Can Learn A Thing Or Two From This Dame
After finding alcohol in the car she bought for her 19-year-old son at Thanksgiving, Jane Hambleton, 48, took out this ad in The Des Moines Register:
OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents who obviously don't love teenage son, selling his car. Only driven for three weeks before snoopy mom who needs to get a life found booze under front seat. $3,700/offer. Call meanest mom on the planet.
The ad got a lot of attention – and not just from interested buyers. The Fort Dodge mother has received more than 70 telephone calls from ER personnel, nurses, school counselors and even from a man in GA, reports The Associated Press.
Hambleton’s son, who claims the booze belonged to a passenger, is considerably less than thrilled about losing his wheels.
Now that Christian publisher Thomas Nelson has backed off plans for a parenting book by Lynne Spears, there might be a place in its catalogue for a no-nonsense book by Hambleton on how to raise kids who don’t drink/drug and drive.
