Spending money like that on a game is an addiction and needs intervention.

Waiting until a child is older to teach the value of a dollar and the benefits of budgeting is not smart. Often it is too late to expect an adult child to listen to lessons that were not taught in adolescence. Perhaps the father shouldn't have mentioned where the money came from 🤷♀️, but it was smart for him to at least caution his child about spending his money as if it were unlimited on in-game purchases. Forty dollars a day is ridiculous. At that rate, the child would spend $280 in a week and over a thousand in a month. It's not sustainable and definitely warrants a warning and discussion about finances. 👀 The father's motivation was only to protect his child from losing 📉 his entire savings account 🤷♀️.

I agree. I think kids should be taught from a younger age to be conscious of spending habits. They don’t have to be policed but at least restricted within reason, even if it’s gifted money. If that teenager doesn’t learn now, they’ll probably have the same spending habits as an adult, which could lead to debt and bad credit :/

I agree, you teach them when they’re young, and you make them value the fact that you as the parent could give them money in as well as his other family members you teach them about hey if you want this cool game now then in a couple months if you don’t have money, then you have to wait to get the next cool game, you teach them the value about saving and you teach the value about understanding that money does not constantly comes around and you teach them that it’s not always going to be there if you constantly keep spending it

Yes I know a lot of adults who never really got out of the "fun money" mentality and are always stressing about money. Then they get money and they spend it immediately because it feels good to spend and then they are upset that they don't have money all over again. I think that if the child is receiving money from the parents, it's appropriate for the parents to say that they will put the money aside for the child for some other use or earmark what the money is for. Obviously birthday money from other relatives and anything that he earns when he's working is his to do what he wants with. But money directly from his parents that doesn't sound like allowance money could potentially have some intended use rather than just "fun money." Maybe I'm only being this harsh because I know a lot of people who've gotten into trouble with this mentality. My son is 10 and I definitely talk to him about money and finding good values in things. Financial literacy and information about saving is really helpful, especially when you start it at an early age so they don't reach adulthood and feel completely overwhelmed. Just my opinion, of course.

Well put! I also think this is beyond just what is responsible and not when it comes to spending. These in game purchases (aka micro transactions) are actually often cited these days with the younger generations as a spending compulsion/addiction catalyst. There is a lot of research on micro transactions and their potential psychological effects that are still in early stages, but the suggested data tends to show some connections between kids games and video games in. general having really detrimental on the spending habits of teens and younger children. 40 a day is CONCERNING. I've fallen into spirals of spending issues for veeeery short periods of time in my 20's and one of those two times was with a stupid little cell phone game that I kept spending 2, 3,6, 9, 14, 5, 2, 4 dollars on and next thing you know it IS 40 a day sometime. And I was TWENTY FIVE, think how much worse it could be for a teen. I had the wisdom to thankfully at least see what was happening and ask for some help before it got to be too bad, and I think Parent OP was right to jump in and discourage it. I would love to see both parents start an ongoing convo with son about addiction or compulsive behaviors, and parental trust and being able to ask for help if he ever needs it even if he's scared or embarrassed, *not to mention* just sit him down and do a budget so he is fully versed in helpful personal spending before entering adulthood.

I don't agree that children should spend their money carelessly just because it's theirs. When you don't teach a kid from a young age how to properly save up and spend money, they become irresponsible adults. Especially since it's a riot game, their bundles are crazy expensive and it becomes an obsession to spend over 100 dollars on a skin. Have you seen the lowest prices yourself? Because even if you have that kind of money you shouldn't give a kid the freedom to spend it on there, that is a months worth of food spent in a day.
@Polluticornnn6 ай бұрын
As a parent, I don't agree about the money one. It's our responsibility to our kids about money and being responsible. If you start early will resonate better and hopefully set them up for success.
@boogiebear30956 ай бұрын
The nerve to ask the oldest to share the money with the other kids. They would suck OP dry too.

Story ( )- Dont start by demanding your kids to do something if there of age to think through decisions. Walk your son through his finances , this is a great moment to TEACH that skill.

With the dad wanting to teach his son about spending, he is the ah but a soft one because he came without it all wrong. He could’ve sat his son down talk to him about the value of money, also let him know that he will send a monthly allowance or by monthly allowance, and if it’s all gone it’s all gone, if he wants something and if he doesn’t have the money that will be on him. Kids need to know the value of money.

Also the one with the step-kids/step-siblings, what if the marriage doesn’t last? Then what happens. Girl that money is yours, dont let them gaslight you into it. I wonder if the husband is manipulating this a bit, just saying.

Hey Isabella! That last story had me going. Not only was the best friend/maid of honor a true friend by warning the bride about the bridesmaids' dresses being white and made of a "tissue paper" like material, she threw the other girl under the bus for gas lighting the bride AND betraying her!!! I just thought her taking pictures of all the texts between them was smart. I hope the bride came around, got rid of the traitor, apologized to the best friend and was able to find a new set of bridesmaids dresses at a decent cost. Heck, I just hope there was a wedding! Or maybe a court house wedding, which is better than nothing.

The trip story is my life right now. My birthday is this week and my bf is taking me to vegas. He said he felt bad because he doesn't have a present for me, but a trip away definitely isn't cheap. I told him not to worry about it, I can't see being upset over a lack of a physical gift with vacations being so pricy. Even just staying in a cabin in the woods is nuts right now.

I do think the one that won't share money with the step siblings IS kinda an ass for not even wanting to help tbh. It does seem like the family is struggling, and that there is a kid with medical needs. It's not like the mom asked her to share it all equally, but just to try to help her step siblings a bit in the future. It seems reasonable. She's within her rights to say no, don't get me wrong, but I cannot IMAGINE not helping. Then again, my culture is more family centric than the US's seems to be, and I personally know abt having a sibling with expensive healthcare needs, so I'm a bit more empathetic to that.

I'm just putting it out there that a courthouse wedding by the JOP with your family and your besties costs under what that tissue paper dress would. Bonus, if you have a dress that you love and access to a flower garden. Everyone can meet up afterward at your favorite restaurant. That was pretty much my wedding, and we will be celebrating 34 years in May. Just say no to weddings that cost more than a nice down-payment on a house.

@jeaniebee36574 ай бұрын
the screaming kids....the doors and windows are probably open because of the unusually hot weather that's happening everywhere, and they want them to close the house up in the hot weather, so they don't have to hear the children? why don't they close their windows and doors?

I have a neighbor with a loud toddler. If the toddler is screaming with an open door or outside it doesn't matter if my doors and windows are shut. If we both close everything the sound is lower.

@@tiryaclearsong421 the weather was hot, if i remember right is what the OP said in one of their replies to a comment. I would never expect a neighbor even if they didn't have kids to keep their windows and door closed on a hot day when no one has AC. that is apartment living.

I kinda see the nuance in the second story, but at the same time if she chooses to use that money to make more money, she could eventually help out the moms family.

Im kind of iffy on the trip gift story. The wife saying she spent more money on his borthday so he needs to spend more on hers grossed me out. She didn't care about the experience or spending that time with her husband, just the price tag it came with.

Bella’s AITA and Friday Night are a match made in heaven like peanut butter and jelly, milkshake and French fries, cheese 🧀 and another type of cheese 😂! In all seriousness, the story of the s*x toy gift really triggered me as a survivor of SA and I could feel her pain through your words. Not all jokes are funny, some are distasteful and cruel. 2:31
