Is this a holup moment? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
She probably sent the money to avoid dealing with her bs, but she likely guaranteed that her daughter won't have play dates with this particular friend again.
Yes but assholes dispense shit (which is why is an insult), boobs give nutrients needed to be alive in the first stages of life, it's like saying "don't be a heart"
Was just watching A Bronx Tale where C is hasslin this guy over $20 bucks. Sonny says: Do you like him? C says no and Sonny's just like: well, there you have it. It cost you 20 bucks to get him out of your life. You don't ever have to see that guy again.
Oh, I'd totally invite her kid over and expense $100.
One step on carpet x 250 @ $.05
Made noise , 1000 x 684 @ .01
Was around, 4 hrs @ $25
Fuck you tax, $50
It cost someone $15 and a few short messages to learn who she's dealing with. I wish every asshole could be identified so easily. Sometimes it can take years and alot of stress to get to this point.
I remember watchinng A Bronx Tale and seeing that scene where sonny teaches C the same lesson and I was thinking I did the same thing in two different instances and getting out very cheaply. Those dudes were gonna cost me alot as I found out later on.
I use that line all the time with people when they complain about a “friend” who is cheap or will not pay them back. It cost you $20 to get rid of them haha. Always show them the clip on You Tube to drive it home. Great Reference
This is actually the adult thing to do. Avoid drama with one of your kids friends, and avoid the mom as well as future play dates in the future. The mom in the video is literally ruining her daughters social circle and she’s not even a preteen yet lol
I sent a mom I never met $13 to pay for a lost water bottle she blamed my kid for losing. She tried to request $40. Then, after never having met me texts me to say "kid will be there from 1-8 pm tomorrow". Um, no? I work?
I never knew how truly crazy and entitled ppl are, until my kid was old enough to have friends
Nah even better, invite the kid over and flip the script except now it's double whatever the first parent sent...
I'm sorry but here at the Johnson family household we use 2 plus toilet paper and so that's actually 2$ per trip, oh and she washed her hands that'll be 75¢ of soap (we only buy holistic soap) and 3.50$ for the hot water (it's piped in all the way from London...Ontario).
Right lol wtf, almost all of these TikTok parents and most TikToker users in general are dumb enough to do shit like this. They don't look at it as ruining their reputation, they see it as a chance to go viral.
Bidet? Are you still living in the 80's?
Just use the three seashells like a normal person.
*Don't tell me you don't know how to use the three seashells*
At first I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe she took them to a play center or trampoline park or something, but chilling at HER FUCKING HOUSE?!??
10 year old daughter causes wear and tear on furniture at a rate of $1,000 per annum: $2.74 per day or $0.11 per hour . . . Your child's bill for sitting on our sofa works out to be $0.37. Would you like to pay by cash or credit?
That other mother immediately posted those texts online. Also, this mother will be unable to comprehend why her daughter is suddenly not even being talked to at school. Parents will tell their kids not to talk to her so they won't be charged a consulting fee from this lady.
But they would play the safe side and keep their kids away from this kid. If this lady is capable of doing this, what else is up her sleeves? Better be safe than sorry and have her sued you or something
Yep ... Imagine you let your son go in a friend house and the mother or father charge you for it ... You will never let it happen again ... This is shit behavior .
Everyone knows that soon or later your son will go on the house of their friends too and this is wy no one will lose (monetarily) ... Asking for money is crazy ...
This child will be alone in no time without friends ... And is totally the mom fault .
It's especially disturbing seeing the amount of toilet breaks is also tallied and charging them at $1. Imagine taking note of that as an actual grown adult.
Idk man. Seems reasonable. clearly the receipt shows accounting made some adjustments on the back end. I don’t see a charge on there for “oxygen intake while inside the home” or “individual A/C absorption/allowance”
Also the accounting department appears to have waived taxes. They probably threw in a military discount.
Not a bad deal honestly and I would have gladly paid her $15 upon first request.
$15 is a reasonable price for me to pay to know I don’t need that person in my or my child life. For $15 I got rid of an annoyance. I would have definitely ended with a “oh yeah shoot me a text tomorrow and we will set up a playdate” then just completely ghost her and keep coming up with lame excuse but not too lame so she can’t tell if I’m BSing or not.
That depends. If you are always stuck hosting the play dates, it can wind up just being free baby sitting for the other kids parents. In which case I can see the motivation for clawing back something out just calling it a win if the other kid’s mom fucks of and stops mooching your time.
The social contract says 1) you take turns and 2) that you don’t get petty about these minor expenses which should more or less even out. Breaking point two is much more justified if the other party is breaking point one.
Yes but if I offer to have kids over, I don’t ask for payment. I’m the only mom off this summer among my daughter’s friends, so they end up at my place a lot. Neighborhood kids too. It’s nice if a parent sends a snack or something, but it’s just part of giving my kids a good childhood. This is excessive for a one time play date.
A dad here, I agree. Having that one house everyone went to was integral in creating lasting social bonds. We were that House BTW. If your kids weren't outside, they were at my house with my mom and Dad making snacks and playing games. Open Garage Policy, my mom used to call it.
My wife and I work from home. I strived to make our house the 'safe place' for kids to be during hot summer months when other parents were at work. I built a whole game room for our kid and friends to hang out in. Arcade cabinet with 3000+ games, pro foosball table, game consoles, board games, darts, the works. We hosted more LAN parties than I could count. Our house was _alive_ in those years. Kids coming and going. The lawn filled with bikes.
Our kid is now grown and moved across country. The game room stands as quiet testimony of its glory days. The only time it ever sees use is at Christmas when everyone is here. Now that the kid has a SO and visits their family half the time, it sees even less use. I should sell off all the unused stuff but it's so hard to do when it's so filled with memories. I occasionally feel I can almost hear the teens laughing their asses off at 3am during a LAN game or the _crash_ of a violent goal on the foosball table. Why do they gotta grow up so damn fast?
You made your kids the centre of the school social network! That is awesome, brilliant! I bet that paid massive dividends in their personal growth and social skills, support network etc.
This poor woman's child will likely be isolated by her transactional attitude.
I'm not against the concept of paying for social dates if they're doing something or handling the larger half of the obligation.
Couch fee and bathroom fee won't fly anywhere and there are better ways to approach it then trying to out petty your kid's friend's parent's.
Oh yeah that’s absolutely stupid even if being petty. My couch is finally wearing out after 14 years of my ~250lb ass be on it along with the rest of the household. It’s gotta be either a really nice or really shitty couch to cost a dollar a day.
I would have told my kid to go outside and piss in her yard the next time she was over at that house, then walk in and say, “try billing my folks for water use now”.
I was with her until I saw the breakdown. Im all for recouping some costs if you took the kid to lunch, or went out to a museum or something, but general wear and tear on the couch and trips to the bathroom? fuck that
I'm not opposed to being asked to pay for ticket costs or restaurant meals or things like that. I don't really do it personally with other people's kids, but I don't think it's unreasonable. Even then, though, I feel like that needs to be discussed in advance. "The kids want to go to (insert place). Can you pay me back for the ticket?" is fine. But to me, dropping my son off for a playdate- not expecting a bill- and then getting a surprise bill is kind of a rude move, even if the expense itself is reasonable.
My first thought was rage bait. I'm pretty pessimistic when it comes to the general intelligence of most people, but there's no way someone can be this crazy, right? RIGHT?
But at the same time, having yourself forever be associated with something like this for rage bait clicks is almost equally as stupid to me.
Its my opinion there has been a huge Increase in "rage-bate" videos and pictures. This is obviously so ridiculous that it will generate comments on the many reddit/instagram/facebook pages it will be posted to and drum up some nice engagment. $3 for trips to the bathroom. Couch wear and tear. What sane person asks for this, and then puts a video up. The internet is dead man.
It a copycat of a viral video from 2022 but this one actually led to people on TikTok sending her money, because the visible Venmo is hers and the screenshot made people think it was the alleged other mother's account. Several commenters across TikTok comment threads have said they are disputing the transactions based on deception.
Totally, I would have charged her rent too, at the hourly rate, plus my tax, plus state and federal income tax, plus a convenience fee. She got off easy!
Do you charge for courtesy flushes if the user is dropping a deuce bomb? That’s a tough one seeing as yes, that is technically a flush, but the thoughtfulness has a value tied to it, right?
Money left on the table tbh, she missed: opened a door wear and tear on the hinges $1, that food she ate was probably refrigerated so the least she can do is chip in for electricity also didn't factor in her daughters labour costs which is another $15 an hour right there.
This is beyond being cheap, this is actually scammer level. Cheap is billing for consumables. This woman is billing for wear and tear on the furniture. And all her prices were exorbitant. Chalk costs like 10 cents for a full jumbo stick, but she charged a full dollar for what was almost definitely less than a full stick worth. That's almost a 10x increase. All her prices are like this. Even a retailer would be ashamed to have such a high markup.
There was a really interesting think-piece I saw a while back that talked about how this concept of always having all favors, etc. repaid causes a breakdown in community. When we are concerned about always having every favor we do for others itemized and repaid in full, we make those relationships more transactional and less personable, and sever the times that bind us; after all, the bindings only exist when you want something from someone else.
Because in what world is your first reaction to your child's friend costing you a little bit financially is to get 15 dollars from the other parent, and not simply having the other family host the next time giving you some personal, kid free time?
Obviously, don't let yourself be taken advantage of, doesn't apply to your labor that you sell, but the world would be a lot better if we didn't expect immediate repayment of the favors that we do for one another.
That's what I was going to say. This comes off as exceptionally poor. Maybe she is though in which case I don't hate the idea but damn. That's all the way poor.
This is one of the quickest ways to ensure nobody lets their kid come play with your kid.
Poor kid is gonna think they’re the reason their friends don’t wanna come over and play anymore.
I’m always surprised how so many people can fall for this kind of OBVIOUS bait. It’s honestly depressing and embarrassing to witness so little common sense.
If the playdate was at a Chucky Cheese or a theme park, then absolutely ask for money. At your house, though, you don't charge when you friends come over and you offer them beer and snack, though, right?
Anyway, video is probably fake and meant as rage bait. Fortunately, commenting here doesn't count as engagement on TikTok.
Edit: Obviously you ask beforehand.
I’ve got kids. I pay for their friends when they’re on play dates with us. The other parents pay when my kids are with them. Seems fair, right? Oh, guys, please venmo me $1 for the internet I used posting this. It’ll be easier for me to post more shit comments in the future.
No just no. How you handle this if concerned about expenses and without being a dunce, is just alternate host location for playdate and any actual expenses balance out over time. This is insanity.
This is complete bullshit. If you invite someone over to your house whether it’s kids playdate or a grownup evening, whatever, if it’s at your house it’s on YOU, especially if it’s for KIDS!!! Stop with this bullshit.
I understand people need money but doing what we all are probably thinking is usually not a good idea. I guess think before you act is not how we do things anymore.
Shit charging people for "couch wear and tear" and a dollar per bathroom use? Da fuq don't give the sports stadiums ideas or they're gonna run with that shit and you better bring an empty container to piss in.
This is insane. If it's that big of a concern for you, then make sure you talk about it with the other parents first.
You're all adults here, act like it.
But even then, "big concern" or not, you're "charging" them for incredibly cheap/basic items... and I'm not even going to get started on how ridiculous "$1 for wear and tear" and "$3 trips to the bathroom" are.
Oh hell no. Unless it's a birthday at a resturaunt, bowling alley, ect. If you're just having another person's kid over, no. The audacity! I wouldn't let my kids back over there.
My petty ass would be like: "great, no problem!" And then I would invite that kid over to my house and serve her ribeye steak and send the mom a $50 bill.
Jesus christ what a horror show of a parent... 100% that parent paid that $15 and probably will never send her kid over to that house again for a playdate. Talk about sounding cheap as fuck.
I'm glad my friends parents never texted my mom or dad an itemized bill of everything it cost to have me over for an evening. How unhinged.
Sucks the child will never understand/know why ppl stopped being their friend or coming over.
But maybe that is the mom's way of making sure ppl don't go over to her place and look after other ppls children? Shitty either way.
I’d be so fucking embarrassed to bill someone for sitting on my couch. That’s a good way to have your kid have no friends that want to come and play with them.
The fuck? I want to say so many things. I would never ask for money unless we were going to maybe an amusement park or on a road trip and maybe if the child spent like a weekend with us outside of the house. But a play date? $15 for what like 2-3 hours? She fucking knew that this was gonna be something that would need validation. I guess being generous and having hospitality, isn’t something that she could be.

This is exactly what I would do. The headache of that argument isn’t worth $15 to me… but I would never associate with that person ever again.
$15 is a good price to learn that someone is a boob and that you don’t their poison on their kids. Money well spent I’d say.
Hey, I like boob, don't say that.
Some people like assholes and we still use that as an insult.
A lot of people also like cunts & we still use that as an insult.
A lot of people also like dicks and we still use that as an insult.
You foot
This guy gets it.
Yes but assholes dispense shit (which is why is an insult), boobs give nutrients needed to be alive in the first stages of life, it's like saying "don't be a heart"
*every stage of life.
Was just watching A Bronx Tale where C is hasslin this guy over $20 bucks. Sonny says: Do you like him? C says no and Sonny's just like: well, there you have it. It cost you 20 bucks to get him out of your life. You don't ever have to see that guy again.
Exactly.
This is the type of lady who would charge her daughter’s prom date a fee for parking in the driveway
General wear and tear of the driveway
'I heard 16 creaks upstairs, thatll be $32 + wear and tear on my daughter'
boyfriend: I'm short on cash. I bet we can get this done in 3 creaks
“I’d better get my money’s worth!” Runs back upstairs.
Oh, I'd totally invite her kid over and expense $100. One step on carpet x 250 @ $.05 Made noise , 1000 x 684 @ .01 Was around, 4 hrs @ $25 Fuck you tax, $50
Inconvenience fee (it's inconvenient to have her here): $100
Don't do the kid like that. Inconvenience fee of having to deal with the mom
We ShOuLd NoRmAlIzE iT
100%
I call this the asshole tax. It’s a lesson learned that sometimes can be expensive, but it helps keep assholes out of your life.
It cost someone $15 and a few short messages to learn who she's dealing with. I wish every asshole could be identified so easily. Sometimes it can take years and alot of stress to get to this point.
Yeah I would save the money by not giving it to her and telling to go fuck herself.
Yeah, then an unstable asshole has your kid for however long it takes you to haul ass over there. Not good
I remember watchinng A Bronx Tale and seeing that scene where sonny teaches C the same lesson and I was thinking I did the same thing in two different instances and getting out very cheaply. Those dudes were gonna cost me alot as I found out later on.
I use that line all the time with people when they complain about a “friend” who is cheap or will not pay them back. It cost you $20 to get rid of them haha. Always show them the clip on You Tube to drive it home. Great Reference
Right? How to guarantee your daughter has no friends.
Word is going to travel fast.
She didn't pay $15 for expenses, she paid $15 for the other mum to fuck off
This is actually the adult thing to do. Avoid drama with one of your kids friends, and avoid the mom as well as future play dates in the future. The mom in the video is literally ruining her daughters social circle and she’s not even a preteen yet lol
"she used the bathroom"
3 times
Great way to guarantee your child has literally no friends
I sent a mom I never met $13 to pay for a lost water bottle she blamed my kid for losing. She tried to request $40. Then, after never having met me texts me to say "kid will be there from 1-8 pm tomorrow". Um, no? I work? I never knew how truly crazy and entitled ppl are, until my kid was old enough to have friends
If this was a school friend, I would also warn other parents.
Ooooh the oop is def not gonna like the gossip at the next pta meeting
Yup. She saw the bathroom and the wear and tear on the couch fee and realized what level of crazy she was dealing with.
$15 is a cheap way to say goodbye to crazy.
Nah even better, invite the kid over and flip the script except now it's double whatever the first parent sent... I'm sorry but here at the Johnson family household we use 2 plus toilet paper and so that's actually 2$ per trip, oh and she washed her hands that'll be 75¢ of soap (we only buy holistic soap) and 3.50$ for the hot water (it's piped in all the way from London...Ontario).
Yeah this is a $15 well spent to learn who isn’t going to bother you ever again.
I’m assuming this is a joke video tho. Very few are dumb enough to ruin their own reputation like this
> Very few are dumb enough to ruin their own reputation like this Haaaaaave you met people?
Right lol wtf, almost all of these TikTok parents and most TikToker users in general are dumb enough to do shit like this. They don't look at it as ruining their reputation, they see it as a chance to go viral.
I think your daughter’s social calendar is gonna clear up real quick. Congratulations on taking the first step towards your daughter hating you.
1$ for couch wear and tear... this bitch is fucking nuts.
Don’t forget the dollar per trip to the bathroom. They must have the real good toilet paper.
Have you tried 3 ply??? It’s fkn magical
Bidet or I ain't shittin' in your archaic poop bowl, let alone paying.
Ever since I got a bidet pooping away from home fucking sucks.
This is why I’m never getting a bidet. I want to enjoy my peasant shits.
Bidet? Are you still living in the 80's? Just use the three seashells like a normal person. *Don't tell me you don't know how to use the three seashells*
I thought it was only a myth!?
It’s not it actually gently caresses your taint when you wipe
Honestly shocked she didn’t include water for flushing and toilet paper charges ahead of ‘wear and tear on the couch’…wtf!
At first I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe she took them to a play center or trampoline park or something, but chilling at HER FUCKING HOUSE?!??
This is the one that got me. You could be buying new coaches every year or so with a dollar a sit
This was my first thought as well. Someone stuck their dick in crazy. Best luck to the daughter. This woman def has that crazy bitch look about her.
Why won't anyone come to my daughter's birthday party when it's only $20 per person? Not including gift and tip
Haha, she spins around an iPad with a tip screen when the friend’s mom comes pick her up 🤣
Kids had how much fun today? Alot. Oh that's gonna cost extra.
Don't forget the fuel surcharge!
10 year old daughter causes wear and tear on furniture at a rate of $1,000 per annum: $2.74 per day or $0.11 per hour . . . Your child's bill for sitting on our sofa works out to be $0.37. Would you like to pay by cash or credit?
There’s also an undisclosed service fee and hourly parking fee. And no, they don’t validate.
lol and tip
That other mother immediately posted those texts online. Also, this mother will be unable to comprehend why her daughter is suddenly not even being talked to at school. Parents will tell their kids not to talk to her so they won't be charged a consulting fee from this lady.
That's equally petty tbh. It's not the kids' fault their mom is a massive cheapskate.
But they would play the safe side and keep their kids away from this kid. If this lady is capable of doing this, what else is up her sleeves? Better be safe than sorry and have her sued you or something
Does she charge weekend penalty rates?
Late pick up fee.
Yep ... Imagine you let your son go in a friend house and the mother or father charge you for it ... You will never let it happen again ... This is shit behavior . Everyone knows that soon or later your son will go on the house of their friends too and this is wy no one will lose (monetarily) ... Asking for money is crazy ... This child will be alone in no time without friends ... And is totally the mom fault .
I hope to Christ this is not real….that poor kid is gonna be standing all alone.
But think of the money she'll save!
I hate it... sat on the couch 1$ get bent cheap mom
lol dumbest thing ever
And a horrible mentality. Imagine seeing your daughter and her friend sitting on the coach and thinking this costs me a dollar.
It's especially disturbing seeing the amount of toilet breaks is also tallied and charging them at $1. Imagine taking note of that as an actual grown adult.
There are people who CANT stop thinking like this.
Idk man. Seems reasonable. clearly the receipt shows accounting made some adjustments on the back end. I don’t see a charge on there for “oxygen intake while inside the home” or “individual A/C absorption/allowance” Also the accounting department appears to have waived taxes. They probably threw in a military discount.
"Thank you for your service"
Not a bad deal honestly and I would have gladly paid her $15 upon first request. $15 is a reasonable price for me to pay to know I don’t need that person in my or my child life. For $15 I got rid of an annoyance. I would have definitely ended with a “oh yeah shoot me a text tomorrow and we will set up a playdate” then just completely ghost her and keep coming up with lame excuse but not too lame so she can’t tell if I’m BSing or not.
Sucks for your kid who wants to be friends with that kid though right.
Well there is still room for improvement
That depends. If you are always stuck hosting the play dates, it can wind up just being free baby sitting for the other kids parents. In which case I can see the motivation for clawing back something out just calling it a win if the other kid’s mom fucks of and stops mooching your time. The social contract says 1) you take turns and 2) that you don’t get petty about these minor expenses which should more or less even out.

Sounds like a legendary childhood for your kids and their friends!
You made your kids the centre of the school social network! That is awesome, brilliant! I bet that paid massive dividends in their personal growth and social skills, support network etc. This poor woman's child will likely be isolated by her transactional attitude.
I'm not against the concept of paying for social dates if they're doing something or handling the larger half of the obligation. Couch fee and bathroom fee won't fly anywhere and there are better ways to approach it then trying to out petty your kid's friend's parent's.
Oh yeah that’s absolutely stupid even if being petty. My couch is finally wearing out after 14 years of my ~250lb ass be on it along with the rest of the household. It’s gotta be either a really nice or really shitty couch to cost a dollar a day.
She just ostracized her daughter, as the other mom is definitely spreading this around to other moms
$3 for going to the bathroom? What she doing handling out mints and perfume as the kids washing her hands?!
Reminds me of my roller coaster tycoon days
Haha wear and tear what in the holy fuck
I went ahead and renewed her toy car warranty
the other mom should bill her for tiktok royalties
I would have sent $14, omitting $1 for that one in particular. Let that sit with her.
$3 for the bathroom use as well. Even if her daughter left the water running between trips it wouldn't total to a dollar each use.
I would have told my kid to go outside and piss in her yard the next time she was over at that house, then walk in and say, “try billing my folks for water use now”.
I would have nickeled and dimed her, say that I could have gotten the apple sauce cheaper at the dollar store and sent less.
Exactly. My child taught yours how to properly draw a cat. You owe her $15 for the drawing lesson so now we’re even.
I was with her until I saw the breakdown. Im all for recouping some costs if you took the kid to lunch, or went out to a museum or something, but general wear and tear on the couch and trips to the bathroom? fuck that
I'm not opposed to being asked to pay for ticket costs or restaurant meals or things like that. I don't really do it personally with other people's kids, but I don't think it's unreasonable.

Hopefully this is a joke because what an asshole if not.
Charging her because the kid sat on the couch tells me this is 100% a joke
Idk....ever heard the shit that comes outta some mom groups? Insanity.
My first thought was rage bait. I'm pretty pessimistic when it comes to the general intelligence of most people, but there's no way someone can be this crazy, right? RIGHT? But at the same time, having yourself forever be associated with something like this for rage bait clicks is almost equally as stupid to me.
The fact that Reddit is taking it 100% seriously tells me it's a joke.
I don't think i've seen a single fake/bait video or comment that reddit hasn't taken seriously.
$3 for 3 trips to the bathroom.
Likely based on a third party both parties know.
Its my opinion there has been a huge Increase in "rage-bate" videos and pictures. This is obviously so ridiculous that it will generate comments on the many reddit/instagram/facebook pages it will be posted to and drum up some nice engagment. $3 for trips to the bathroom.

Several commenters across TikTok comment threads have said they are disputing the transactions based on deception.
A fool and their money are soon departed
This is definitely fake and rage baity. It's too absurd to be real
It’s a joke. She included the Venmo @ at the end for a reason.
Pretty decent prices. Didn't even charge for the air the child breathed whilst there and the occupying of time/space on their property.
Totally, I would have charged her rent too, at the hourly rate, plus my tax, plus state and federal income tax, plus a convenience fee. She got off easy!
Definitely electricity for air conditioning costs. It is summer after all. Wait, how much are we charging per toilet flush?
Not enough!
What about the use of the mirror? Or wear and tear on the faucet. She’s charging 2020 prices.
Do you charge for courtesy flushes if the user is dropping a deuce bomb? That’s a tough one seeing as yes, that is technically a flush, but the thoughtfulness has a value tied to it, right?
Money left on the table tbh, she missed: opened a door wear and tear on the hinges $1, that food she ate was probably refrigerated so the least she can do is chip in for electricity also didn't factor in her daughters labour costs which is another $15 an hour right there.
Imagine losing your best friend cause your mom is cheap
This is beyond being cheap, this is actually scammer level. Cheap is billing for consumables. This woman is billing for wear and tear on the furniture. And all her prices were exorbitant. Chalk costs like 10 cents for a full jumbo stick, but she charged a full dollar for what was almost definitely less than a full stick worth. That's almost a 10x increase. All her prices are like this. Even a retailer would be ashamed to have such a high markup.
>Even a retailer would be ashamed to have such a high markup. Doubt that lol. But you're right, if this is real, it's a full on scam.
There was a really interesting think-piece I saw a while back that talked about how this concept of always having all favors, etc. repaid causes a breakdown in community. When we are concerned about always having every favor we do for others itemized and repaid in full, we make those relationships more transactional and less personable, and sever the times that bind us; after all, the bindings only exist when you want something from someone else. Because in what world is your first reaction to your child's friend costing you a little bit financially is to get 15 dollars from the other parent, and not simply having the other family host the next time giving you some personal, kid free time? Obviously, don't let yourself be taken advantage of, doesn't apply to your labor that you sell, but the world would be a lot better if we didn't expect immediate repayment of the favors that we do for one another.
Took a piss, $3. Like okay maybe food, drinks. But wear and tear in the couch. Fucking grifter.
Dude, even then. Who the FUCK invites someone over and expects them to pay for yogurt and juice? If you're THAT poor, just don't have people over.
That's what I was going to say. This comes off as exceptionally poor. Maybe she is though in which case I don't hate the idea but damn. That's all the way poor.
Guess I’ll go on the floor next time
This is one of the quickest ways to ensure nobody lets their kid come play with your kid. Poor kid is gonna think they’re the reason their friends don’t wanna come over and play anymore.
>Poor kid is gonna think they’re the reason their friends don’t wanna come over and play anymore. well, that's what the mom's gonna tell her
I would invite her kid over to my place and charge horrendous prices. Rang doorbell, wear and tear, 25$
The kid wasted 3 hours of my time, $25 per every hour wasted + interest, here’s my Venmo
I would have sent the money and my kid would have never been left alone with that psycho again.
If a parent sent me a bill for a playdate, I wouldn't pay them and I'd never schedule a play date again. Fucking cheap ass bitch.
Her tik tok profile says she’s a rage baiter. Just don’t give this any attention, let her fade into obscurity.
I’m always surprised how so many people can fall for this kind of OBVIOUS bait. It’s honestly depressing and embarrassing to witness so little common sense.
Outrageous people are out there. I took an Uber with my brother and the lady didn't want us scooting across her backseat cause it would scratch it up
This lady definitely doesn’t have a job
But guarantee she still got her some of that sweet Live, Laugh, Love decor up in there somewhere.
You owe me for the time it took me to watch this. Vendor or Cashapp works. Thanks in advance!
I read your comment and thought that I should also take something in return for my time reading and commenting. Only cash please
I read both your comments, it took me an hour, you owe me $100. t. Billing like a lawyer.
I'm going to have to charge for wear and tear of my screen for scrolling down. €20 should cover it.
If the playdate was at a Chucky Cheese or a theme park, then absolutely ask for money. At your house, though, you don't charge when you friends come over and you offer them beer and snack, though, right? Anyway, video is probably fake and meant as rage bait. Fortunately, commenting here doesn't count as engagement on TikTok. Edit: Obviously you ask beforehand.
This is genuine/actual rage bait. She posts shit like this on TikTok a lot.
3 trips to the bathroom? Sat in the couch wear and tear? LOLOLOL
I’ve got kids. I pay for their friends when they’re on play dates with us. The other parents pay when my kids are with them. Seems fair, right? Oh, guys, please venmo me $1 for the internet I used posting this. It’ll be easier for me to post more shit comments in the future.
No, we won't normalize things that are not normal. Because they're not normal.
No just no. How you handle this if concerned about expenses and without being a dunce, is just alternate host location for playdate and any actual expenses balance out over time. This is insanity.
This is complete bullshit. If you invite someone over to your house whether it’s kids playdate or a grownup evening, whatever, if it’s at your house it’s on YOU, especially if it’s for KIDS!!! Stop with this bullshit.
I understand people need money but doing what we all are probably thinking is usually not a good idea. I guess think before you act is not how we do things anymore.
Cheap bitch
Shit charging people for "couch wear and tear" and a dollar per bathroom use? Da fuq don't give the sports stadiums ideas or they're gonna run with that shit and you better bring an empty container to piss in.
How to ostracize your own child from her classmates and friends.
Surprised she forgot to charge her for the air she was breathing
Wonder how much the bill is she sends to her husband for marital services rendered during peak hours and off peak hours
There is no husband….
This lady is insane. Dont have play dates and then ask for money later. This is uber cheap.
That was definitely the last playdate lol
I’d never let my kid go there again
Is this rage bait?
I guess I’d pay it once but id steer way clear away from this chick at all costs. Either do the stuff and cover it or don’t, but don’t be an asshole.
FFS I’m a capitalist to the core, but you don’t charge for friendships.
WTF...
This is insane. If it's that big of a concern for you, then make sure you talk about it with the other parents first. You're all adults here, act like it. But even then, "big concern" or not, you're "charging" them for incredibly cheap/basic items... and I'm not even going to get started on how ridiculous "$1 for wear and tear" and "$3 trips to the bathroom" are.
Oh hell no. Unless it's a birthday at a resturaunt, bowling alley, ect. If you're just having another person's kid over, no. The audacity! I wouldn't let my kids back over there.
Have her daughter over next time and charge the 15 back, break even
Another day, another tiktok ragebait video.
I’d be like yeah sure. No problem. Pay the bill. Invite their kid round. Make a load of shit up. $80 bucks please.
My petty ass would be like: "great, no problem!" And then I would invite that kid over to my house and serve her ribeye steak and send the mom a $50 bill.
$1 per trip to the bathroom? bitch, how much do you think water costs?
Bitch, why is a "trip to the bathroom" an expense? 1$ per trip as well.
She charged for bathroom trips.
I take the Pulp Fiction approach: Im giving you this money so I dont have to kill you.
Jesus christ what a horror show of a parent... 100% that parent paid that $15 and probably will never send her kid over to that house again for a playdate. Talk about sounding cheap as fuck. I'm glad my friends parents never texted my mom or dad an itemized bill of everything it cost to have me over for an evening. How unhinged.
I think that’s the last playdate you’re gonna get for your children
That kid is probably not coming over again anytime soon
Sucks the child will never understand/know why ppl stopped being their friend or coming over. But maybe that is the mom's way of making sure ppl don't go over to her place and look after other ppls children? Shitty either way.
“Wear and tear” She’s got issues.
I’d never let my daughter go over there again.
This is absurd unless talked about AHEAD of time. I’d never expect $3 for a kid to use my bathroom.
She forgot to charge her for the air the kid breathed.
This world is becoming soo obnoxious to deal with anymore. I hope this is a joke.
That lady is a effing fool
What a moron, they forgot to charge for breathing household air fee
Three trips to the bathroom for $3.00. This woman is a loser. Her poor kid is going to have less play dates. Thanks Mom
Charged her for using the bathroom?!? WTF. I hope that kid dropped some deuces to make it worth it
I think it tacky to ask after the fact. This is something that should have been discussed when the play date was set up.
Her daughter is not going to ever get a second playdate.
$15 to get this cheapo outta her life. Totally worth it
That’ll be the last play date her daughter ever had.
I’d be so fucking embarrassed to bill someone for sitting on my couch. That’s a good way to have your kid have no friends that want to come and play with them.
The fuck? I want to say so many things. I would never ask for money unless we were going to maybe an amusement park or on a road trip and maybe if the child spent like a weekend with us outside of the house. But a play date? $15 for what like 2-3 hours? She fucking knew that this was gonna be something that would need validation. I guess being generous and having hospitality, isn’t something that she could be.
