A mom asks her 18-year-old working daughter to contribute $50–$100 a month while she’s still living at home. The daughter refuses, arguing that she shouldn’t have to pay anything simply because she lives with her mom. Is the mom being reasonable by asking her daughter to contribute, or is... the daughter acting entitled?show more

All ima say is if you a parent that got bad spending habits & ask your kids for money every time u broke then you are a piece of shit & trifling asf. Let your kids save money so they can get car & apartment not keep them broke cuz u wasted all yo money

ENTITLED. She DON'T GET it, she's now what she WANTS to be: GROWN. And being 'grown', living in ya mama's house AND you got a job? RENT IN THE REAL WORLD AIN'T $50-$100! Think she cryin' NOW? Wait til she gotta pay $19,000-$24,000 a month!!! Gonna WISH she had $50 to pay. LMFAO

Dam that’s crazy, I started helping moms with bills as soon as I got my first summer youth job at 14 years old. This generation are not only as dumb as it can get but also as selfish as it can get.

She learned this behavior at home. The girl is wrong for not helping, but the mother is wrong for all the yelling and acting out. Respect your mother and her house, but Mom, there’s a better way to handle it. She didn’t just become selfish at 18—this behavior starts somewhere.

i pay $600 a month for a bedroom at my dad’s house. this girl is blessed okay 😭

Mom sees her daughter with more cash on hand then she has. Mom wants some. End of story.

She thinking she gonna stay with her mom forever

the mother is lost,,,, goes to show, relationship is not good , why would you charge your daughter, know she trying to get on her feet,,, if the daughter is doing bad thing hanging out etc.....hm...

$50-100 dollars ain’t shit.. when i was living with my mom growing up she was there for me whether I was right or wrong..Love never changed.. if my mom needs me to give her $100 ima give that to her whenever she wants…that’s your mom.. treat her well cause she won’t live forever

She should calm with the way she’s easing her voice lol If she’s 18, working, and living at home, contributing $50–$100 a month is a reasonable request—not punishment. Helping with household expenses teaches responsibility.

Nah my daddy didn't play that shit when I stayed with him when I was 18..I hated it..but as a grown ass man married with kids now I just want to say I appreciated it taught me alot 💯

Daughter feels entitled!! But she doesn’t know that’s preparing her to be responsible when she’s older

This mom is trash. My kids are my kids no matter their age. They will get whatever money they need if it is in my power to supply it no matter their age. 18 is just a number. If she’s having a hard time at 18 with whatever her mom should have her back. And also who yells at their kids like this? I’m sorry for this young woman.

This is such a weird American concept to me. Why would you want to start collecting money from your child just bcuz they are now 18 as if that means they are actually now an adult or something? I mean legally yes but not mentally or emotionally Where is the love and compassion

Once a son or daughter turns 18, starts earning, and is still living at home, asking them to contribute a reasonable amount toward household expenses isn’t automatically unfair. Parents spend years providing food, shelter, education, and countless other necessities. Once an adult child starts earning, contributing something whether $50, $100, or an amount appropriate to the family’s situation can be about responsibility and gratitude, not “renting a room” from your parents. It should be a reasonable conversation, not a punishment. But expecting an earning adult to contribute nothing while the parents carry every expense can also become a sense of entitlement.

She is practicing for adulthood by not paying rent. She is gonna be living rent free off a man or the government anyway so she might as well start early.

That’s definitely entitlement. She’s living in my house with a job she’s kicking in some money. Period.

I want to take this moment not to bash anyone but to thank God for my Mom who always taught me “sometimes it’s not the message, it’s how the message is delivered”… this mom is right but the delivery…

This relationship is done,,,, i will pray for these people.

If yall really think that charging your child for rent when they start working is okay then yall need some help.

If her father was around she wouldn’t have to pay for anything and she would be in school working on her future

The mom is right , she's making more and she needs to take part in the bills

I think charging your own child rent is a weird American invention.

Listen Up

When you reach 18, the contract ends, you are now an adult. You either contribute to the family as an adult or learn to pack your bags. I was paying rent at the age of 17, while working and going to college at night.

$50-100 a month while living at home with a job isn’t really about the money In the shelter u see the long-term result of ppl who never had to contribute anything while young The amount is small. The pattern is not Curious how many arguing she shouldn’t pay a cent actually stayed home rent-free well into their 20s

She didn’t need it when that girl ain’t have a job!!! What mother goes in a child’s pockets she needs to let her enjoy her first job I can see if she borrowed but If you don’t have narcissist manipulative parents you will not understand!! She prob tryna get away from her

I don't charge my adult a dime to live in my house. That's what's wrong with the black community, that's why we don't have generational wealth, yt ppl don't do they kids like this, and we truly need to stop this mess.

Daughter acting entitled. All we doing is giving a lil taste of the real world before you move out for the first time. That heat, water, food, roof over your head cost money! Depending on the state, a lot of money! Give me that damn $50! Lol

Nigga i wish my rent to stay somewhere was $100 how stupid is this bitch? She can work 4hours a day for 4 days and make that or sell nudes online like other women do to pay rent

Fuck her.. throw her ass out.. only then she'll realize that 100 bucks would have been the cheapest way to have a home..

A man would have done it instantly, women never believe they should spend there own money. At least most women do.

Can't you help your mama out with the bills...you're a grown ass woman filing tax returns...she just wants help..and 50 is resonable

In Africa nobody will ask you to contribute only you will use your sense and do that because when they give you attitude for two days you will know the right thing to do.

Some residential places, To renew the lease, you have to let them know about the extra income so therefore, they would have to contribute since she’s the extra adult on the lease that’s deemed responsible. If she’s going to school full time, that’ll be credited however still. To be honest, if youre over 18, and have a job, yes you should contribute. You don’t have to pay the rent at least get home toiletries. That’s what $50-$100 would contribute anyways.
