Appeals court dismisses Barrington ‘bad mothering’ suit

How Ridiculous?
 
 

An Illinois court has tossed a lawsuit filed by a pair of siblings against their mother for a variety of “bad mothering” complaints.  The plaintiffs, now 20 and 23, claimed the mother “sometimes didn’t include gifts in cards sent to her children; played favorites with her children . . . did not send  care packages until his sixth semester away at college . . . changed her surname, thus ‘causing attention’ at her daughter’s school events; and refused to buy her a homecoming dress.”
