A parent tells their 36-year-old son they're stopping his phone plan. Ramit Sethi calls it a breakthrough moment and reframes the parent's tears as joy, not guilt.

It sounds so bitchy.
Look at me, look at me. Do I care if anyone calls me a little bitch? Call me a bitch, America, like I care. I'm trying to teach your son how to be self-sustaining and you how to live a rich life. If somebody thinks that you're bitchy, so be it. Okay, what do you got?
We made a decision. We are making drastic changes with finances and we will keep you on the phone plan for another month.
We will not pay for you. We love you. I like the incongruity. We will not pay for the phone. We love you. Send. Well done. This is quite a moment. This is Mary and Harry 2.0. That may be the most difficult text that you have written, but you did it. You did.
I'm gonna cry now.
No, you, you should cry tears of joy. Did you get a response?
LOL. Okay.
