The woman shares that her friends have to pay if their kids wish to eat or drink at her home and leaves people 'speechless.'
Many people wish that, with time, their friendships will grow deeper, to a point where a friend’s family and kids become as good as one’s own. They look forward to participating in the lives of their friends, especially in helping raise their kids. Many even take up the place and titles of aunts and uncles for their friends’ kids due to the intact relationship. However, a woman claimed she charges her friends’ kids if they want to eat at her house. A man–who goes by @ace.acp on TikTok–shared his strong opinion in reaction to her statement and sparked debate online. “Do you think it’s bad that I charge my friends for their kids to eat or drink at my house?” the woman asked in a clip.
The man stitched the video and shared his bizarre reaction. He expressed his disbelief over this idea and said, “This can’t be true. I cannot imagine that I pull over to my friend’s house and my kid goes, ‘Can I get a banana?’ and I go, ‘We have to pay.’ What!?” The man thought a friend’s kids would be similar to one’s own. It forms a connectedness, which should be retained. “If you’re doing this, you may as well charge an entry fee. Charge all your friends an entry fee,” the man exclaimed. He was surprised by the mere idea of being so stingy and absurd. “If I invite you to my house, no matter how broke I am, I will not charge you for anything,” the man said.
“This is really concerning. This is crazy!” he added in a shrieking voice out of complete surprise. While the man was against the idea, he asked people to share their input. “There’s no way you can say to me that this is alright, that what she’s doing is alright.” Many agreed with him circling the idea that the kids would be like family and they would come before money. Few added that it would be wrong to make feeding a friend’s kid a business in any way and that it disrupts the emotion and memory-making factors. @lolatiffanyhurr wrote, “There is no way I’m going to charge my friends for their kids. I’d want their kids to come over. I’m the aunty they turn to.” @laelovesbows added, “Aren’t your friends’ kids supposed to think you’re related?”
@elvia.gemini94 wrote, “I’m speechless. I’d never charge my friends or their kids. If they break a TV, maybe. And that’s maybe.” @bakemydamimo exclaimed, “She’s kidding right? Not only do I feed the kids, I even take them out and everything and pay for it too!” Others had contradicting opinions. Many shared that it is only valid and that they had experienced the scenario. @april.ikm added, “It depends on the situation. If my friends are dropping their kids every day and my financial situation is bad, then they should.” @itsmymixtape wrote, “The only way this makes sense is if there are several kids. Maybe if they’re constantly hungry and always eating anything they want without permission.”
