In a picture-perfect self-portrait shared just last Friday from her beach vacation during the festive season, she proudly displayed the unmistakable beauty she inherited from her mother.
Resembling her mother, Catherine, during the iconic era of “The Darling Buds of May”, the 20-year-old actress captured the spirit of her mother’s portrayal as Mariette in the beloved 1990s series. This marked the inception of Catherine’s remarkable acting journey.
Amidst her holiday celebrations, Carys donned a stylish brown bikini, showcasing her radiant beauty in a casual selfie. Additionally, she treated her followers to a sneak peek of her cozy cabin retreat, giving insight into her literary preferences, including a focus on Kahlil Gibran’s masterpiece “The Prophet”.
Earlier in the current year, Carys captivated her audience with a collection of videos showcasing her musical prowess. From her impressive vocal range to her adept piano playing, she earned accolades from none other than her mother, who lauded the interpretations as “captivating” and “remarkable”.
Carving her unique niche in the world of entertainment, Carys is gracefully treading her own path while embracing the legacy of her illustrious parents. In a recent captivating video, she took center stage alongside the Honky Tonks, the resident band at Hus Mals og Menningar bar in Reykjavik, Iceland.
The performance was met with such admiration that one of the band members even knelt before Carys, expressing heartfelt praise as the act reached its conclusion. Posting the video on Instagram without any caption, Catherine couldn’t contain her pride, leaving a comment that resonated with joy, saying: “Carys!!!! Incredible! Wish I could be there. Love you. Have a blast, my darling”. Sibbi, the lead singer of the band, acknowledged Catherine’s comment, affirming Carys’s amazing talent and shedding light on their nightly renditions of “Shallow” featuring different guest singers.
Mom Leaves Note on “Disrespectful” Son’s Door – What She Wrote is Taking the Internet by Storm
Most adults know that being a grown-up isn’t as simple as it seems to a child.
Kids might see things like food in the fridge, a comfy home, and unlimited internet, but they often don’t understand the work it takes to have those things. One mom decided to teach her disrespectful son a funny, “real world” lesson to show him that “nothing comes for free.”
In 2015, Heidi Johnson was struggling with her defiant 13-year-old son, Aaron. She explained that Aaron “wanted the benefits of growing up without the responsibility that comes with it.”
Aaron had started making a little bit of money as a YouTuber and thought he didn’t have to follow his mom’s rules about doing his homework. He even stormed out of her room, saying he was a “free person” because he was “making money.”
In response to his behavior, the single mother wrote a “tough love” letter to Aaron and shared it on Facebook. Almost ten years later, her post has gone viral again.
Johnson’s note begins, “Since you seem to have forgotten that you’re only 13, and I’m the parent, and that you don’t want to be controlled, I guess you need a lesson in independence.” In what she called a “roommate contract,” she laid out the rules Aaron would need to follow if he wanted to act like an adult.
She continued, “Since you’re earning money now, it should be easier for you to pay back for everything I’ve bought for you.” Johnson added that if he wanted things like his lamp, lightbulbs, or access to the internet, he’d have to pay his part of the costs.
In her letter, Johnson listed the conditions Aaron would need to follow, including paying for rent and utilities. She also expected him to cook his own meals and help with regular cleaning around the house.
Johnson signed the letter, “Love, Mom.”
Taking Action
Living in Venice, Italy, Johnson shared that when Aaron saw the letter taped to his door, he crumpled it up, threw it on the floor, and stormed out of their apartment.
Johnson felt he just needed some time to think—and she used that time to start taking back some of the things from his room.
Once Aaron had time to think, he asked his mom what he could do to start re-earning his privileges. He even gathered more items from his room and handed them to her, asking how he could earn them back.
Johnson explained that this was never about making him pay her back; it was about teaching him to understand the cost of things. Aaron quickly realized he couldn’t afford rent, utilities, or food on his own.
Online commenters supported her approach, praising her for her creative discipline style. One person wrote, “Great job! Nothing in the agreement is harsh, but it will teach him a lesson he’ll remember.” Another said, “You’re an amazing mom for giving your son a chance to learn and grow.” A third comment added, “Bravo for being a parent and not just a maid.”
Some people accused her of publicly shaming her son. In response, Johnson wrote another post saying she was “not ashamed” of what she did.
“A teenager will push their limits,” she explained. “They’re in a stage where they’re stepping into adulthood but still rooted in childhood… I can’t send this child into college or the workforce with an attitude of ‘I’ll get to it when I feel like it’ when a boss asks him to get a job done. That’s how the real world works.”
Johnson ended by saying, “Nothing in life is free. Somewhere, someone is making a sacrifice.”
