“Because of McDonald’s marketing, [her daughter] Maya has frequently pestered Parham into purchasing Happy Meals, thereby spending money on a product she would not otherwise have purchased.”
I bet you Maya is one messed up child. Geez! She has the mother from hell. Her mom won't even let her child occasionally enjoy a Happy Meal. Don't they come with fruit now if you request fruit instead of fries? Good grief!
The New York Daily News writes of Monet Parham:
You’re probably wondering: How is this grounds for a lawsuit? No one forced Parham to take her daughters to McDonald’s, buy them that particular menu item, and sit by as they ate every last French fry in the bag (if they did).
No, she’s suing because when she said no, her kids became disagreeable and “pouted” – for which she wants class action status. If she gets it, McDonald’s isn’t the only company that should worry. Other kids pout because parents won’t get them 800-piece Lego sets, Madame Alexander dolls and Disney World vacations. Are those companies going to be liable too?
How did America get this stupid? I know. I know. You don't have to answer that.
Run Maya while you still can. I am sure a foster family will spend the $3 so you can have a happier meal sometime in your life. It sounds like every meal is probably hell considering your mother.
