Mom Leaves Note On “Disrespectful” Son’s Door, And Now It’s Going Viral

Being a parent to a cocky, disrespectful teenager is far from easy, and different parents have different approaches to get their children to behave.

One mom, Heidi Johnson, wrote a handwritten letter to her son, Aaron, and shared it on Facebook. She didn’t intend for the post to go viral. She didn’t even intend to make the post public. It was supposed to just be for friends to see, but she does not regret her post or the fact that it’s public.

In the letter to her 13-year-old son, Johnson reprimanded her son treating her like a “roommate.” She went on to give him an itemized bill for rent, food, etc that totaled over $700. If he was going to treat her like a roommate instead of his mom, she would do the same.

Johnson signed the note, “Love Mom,” and she truly does love her son. She followed up the post with another post explaining some backstory to the situation. She also reassured parents who were criticizing her that “I am not going to put my 13 year old on the street if he can’t pay his half of the rent. I am not wanting him to pay anything. I want him to take pride in his home, his space, and appreciate the gifts and blessings we have.”

She added that she never intended for Aaron to pay the bill. Instead, she wanted him to “gain an appreciation of what things cost.” The reason Johnson wrote the note was to make sure her son understood “what life would look like if I was not his ‘parent,’ but rather a ‘roommate.’ It was a lesson about gratitude and respect from the very beginning.”

Johnson also explained that before she wrote the note, her son had lied about doing his homework, and when she told him she was going to restrict his internet access, he responded, “Well, I am making money now.” She explained that the money he was referring to was a little bit of income he was making from his YouTube channel, but not nearly enough to pay for food and rent.

The public note has not hurt Johnson’s relationship with her son. She explained, “He and I still talk as openly as ever. He has apologized multiple times.”

Johnson has also had parents turning to her for advice since she posted the note to her son. She explains, “My post seems to have opened a door, and people feel safe coming to me and asking for advice, venting, or even just have someone bear witness to their experience by listening and opening up and sharing a piece of myself in return.”

Sausage rolls are a beloved classic in many households, offering a delicious combination of flaky pastry and savory sausage filling.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about making and enjoying sausage rolls, from ingredients and preparation to serving suggestions and more.

Instructions:

Step 1: Preparing the Filling

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, dried sage, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 2: Assembling the Sausage Rolls

1. Roll Out Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface into rectangles, approximately 12×6 inches each.
2. Add Filling: Divide the sausage mixture evenly between the two pastry sheets, forming a long sausage shape along one edge of each pastry rectangle.
3. Roll and Seal: Roll the pastry over the sausage meat, enclosing it completely, and press the seam to seal. Trim any excess pastry if necessary.
4. Cut and Arrange: Cut each roll into smaller pieces, about 2 inches in length, and place them seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Baking the Sausage Rolls

1. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
2. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the sausage is cooked through.
3. Cool and Serve: Once baked, transfer the sausage rolls to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
