Were your parents mean?

This is only my 3rd post, so bear with me...

A friend of mine from highschool said to me the other day...

That her mom was mean to her when she was just a kid. She said they made her do chores and go to church and school.  They gave her a curfew and suggested that she get a job and work for the things she wanted.  They insisted for her to do her best at school, and at her job and to take pride in her work, and to value her reputation.(She would say, "Take care of this one because a reputation is something money can't buy.") She said she grew up with morals, and a good work ethic and respect for the law and her elders.  I told her my mother was the same way she was mean to me too. 

Thank You God for my mean mother,  she really loved me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
