"How to be a mean mother. Never allow treats instead of a real meal. Know where her kids are, who they are with. Make kids work...laundry, dishes, more chores. Insist on the truth. Produce sensible teens. What the world needs are more mean mothers...and fathers too!" Model stitched on 32 Ct. Lambswool linen with Weeks Dye Works floss. Stitch Count: 101W x 160H.

from United States on 05/03/2015 - great design
I love this design. If all mothers followed these rules are kids would turn out a lot better. I love Lizzy Kate's color choices and the graphs are easy to read with DMC alternatives. What's not to love?
