Nancy's Support of "Mean Mom!"

Nancy who has been offering workshops for parents of teens in the NYC area for over two decades applauds this mean Mom for having reasonable (possible life-saving) rules and then following through with the consequences. She is not afraid of whether or not her son likes her--it's not her job to be his best friend nor his grandmother.
