Should Mothers Be Sued for Bad Parenting?

When my young daughters get mad and call me "Mean Mommy" for withholding gum or making them clean up their toys, it makes me laugh. But I can't imagine that Kimberly Garrity is seeing the humor in the lawsuit her adult children filed against her on the grounds that she was a bad mother.


Garrity's children, Steven Miner II, 23, and Kathryn Miner, 20, originally filed their suit against her two years ago, asking for more than $50,000 for emotional distress suffered during childhood due to Garrity's alleged parental offenses, infractions such as sending her son a birthday card sans check, not dispatching care packages to him in college and insisting on a midnight curfew for her daughter during her high school's homecoming.
