I got the name meanmom years ago when my kids were little. Whenever they would tell me I was mean because I wouldn't let them do something I would tell then I learned it at meanmom school. I became a family joke. My sister and sister in law would tell their kids the same thing. When I made my email address years ago we used it kinda as a joke. Now I am kinda stuck with it because I don't want to change my email.
