Son goes to college and never calls, so Mom posts video on Facebook and it's going viral
Seeing
children graduate high school and move on to college is a difficult transition
for any parent. For the first eighteen years of their lives, a parent gets to
seem them pretty much everyday. But once they go to college, it’s like they
have come-of-age, and it’s time for them to continue life more or less on their
own.
It’s
a huge leap, and I do not blame any parent for having a difficult time with
this transition. As parents, I am sure we want to call our children every day
and check on them to ensure they are doing just fine.
That’s
why I can totally relate to how one Mom from Pennsylvania felt. Ann Pinto
McCarney had a difficult time dealing with the fact that her son Liam was going
to college. During the first few weeks of school, McCarney was disappointed
that her son never bothered to call her. To cope with this, McCarney took her
frustrations out on Facebook, where she posted a video of a lighthearted rant.
It quickly went viral and now has millions of views.
She
jokes, “I haven’t heard from you in a while, and I thought maybe you forgot
about me.”
In
her rant, this funny mom talks about all the roles she’s juggled as a mom. For
instance, she states she was her son’s personal chef and chauffeur. My favorite
part was when she reminded her son how to use a smartphone!
She
closes with, “So now I know I’m going to hear from you, especially before your
mother and father have to pay the next installment for your tuition in
November.” Ouch!

Well guess it's safe to say that Liam McCarney is well adjusted at college! That being said a Mammas gotta call him out!
