"...The Times received a credible email from a man from the Boston suburbs who said he was Peanut Free Mom.
"I am not a comedian. I work with kids," he wrote. "I made the account to make my friends laugh. I am not trying to make light of the peanut allergy or single mothers. I just wanted to create a character that was overwhelmingly pompous upper-middle class divorcee that dishes out parenting advice.
"All the Parenting Tips are actual things I heard throughout my career in working with children," he said. "I WAS surprised at how quickly it caught on. It started on a Sunday and had 5,000 followers within a week. I happened to be on vacation at the time and had a LOT of time to tweet. I’ve started a few fake accounts, but none of them really took off."
He asked to remain anonymous."
larious Let the stampede begin!

I don't hate your kids, I HATE YOU!
