My daughter was at a friend’s house on Halloween. When the friend’s brother returned from trick-or-treating mom told him to eat all the candy he wanted before he went to bed as she was going to throw out the rest. I don’t get that line of thought at all. Oh, the daughter, according to my child, has a constant candy stash at school which she nibbles on in class. I guess all mom has done is to create a kid who is so obsessed with sweets that she hides them. It would have been better to have taught her children to enjoy everything, including sweets, in moderation ala Julia Child’s advice.
OK, guys, why don’t you just rescue the candy from the trash? And, while you’re at it, take Mom to a shrink because she’s clearly an out-of-control sadist taking out her urge to inflict mental cruelty on her children.

This woman needs to be locked up! Showing cruelty to her child like that is horrible! She is guilty of child abuse! Lock her up!

So often she seems so completely wrapped up in herself and her own that she can’t think of anything or anyone except in the context of her obsession.

I really like this strip, but sometimes I could wrap that woman upside the head. If she were real, I probably would.
