Mother’s bank is closed.
Frustrated by her adolescent girls’ back habits, Kim Orozco is lowering her leg – and refusing to pass the bill.
Instead, New Jersey’s mother now forces Caylee, 14, and Carolina, 15, to dive into modest grandfather profits to go bankrupt any non -essential purchases – like their 40 dollars per year Snapchat+ memberships.
“I won’t pay for it s -t,” told Kim, 48, for posting, adding that she will also not pay for their manicures, deliveries from crumbl and starbucks or “another culture that looks exactly Like any other ball culture ”they have already sat in their closets.
“They will make Starbucks every day if I let them.”
And the mature parent is not the only one of others in her circle, she said, are refusing to fork for money for their adolescent impulse purchases, especially for purchasing within the application of uncontrollable supplements that can be added quickly And easily, a phenomenon she called “highway robbery”.
Kim stopped the video Roblox game app in her family, for example, after “burning so many times” by expenses in the game, her children by accumulating accidental charges worth hundreds of dollars.
“Roblox robbed you,” she said.
Other parents have shared stories of the horror of microcharges within eye watering ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars, with a family worth $ 4,000 due to their son’s excessive expense in Roblox, where the line between “real money” and “fake money” are unclear, the couple said.
In Reddit, a mother said she about “MONOPOLO MONOPOLO”.
“It’s their money, and I’m all to let them” lose “it in cheap toys or impulsive purchases, because that’s the best way to learn important lessons,” the user wrote, by Added that “such lessons” include things as the importance of saving money or the meaning that free things do not last long.
“But V-Bucks and Robux and everything else doesn’t look like they will teach those lessons.”
While Kim claimed that most parents would not pay for such digital purchases, some are still – but they are not happy about it.
“I think it’s a loss of money,” Mother of New Jersey Shannon Murphy, 47, complained about the post.
But despite her strong dislike of spending within her children’s app, Shannon said she feels like she is hitting for her 16-year-old MacKenzie’s $ 3.99 Snapchat+daughter’s monthly reconciliation, which is loaded on her card for more than two years.
“It’s a kind of money loss, but only once you have it, you don’t want to remove it,” Mockenzie admitted.
“It is annoying, but this is today’s new standard,” she said.
The text, apparently, is so late-both Mackezie Murphy and Carolina Orozco said they use the app of ephemeral messages to communicate, saying they love the aesthetically pleasant themes within the app and add features that increase their experience.
“More fashionable,” told Carolina The Post, adding that Snapchat is “more fun” than text.
“I feel like when you think about text messages, you think of your parents-like, let me write my mom or dad” -but when you are talking to your friends, you immediately turn to snapchat because it’s so teens-based ”
Despite Mom Kim’s disapproval, Carolina says spending her money on the annual subscription of $ 39.99 is “a good investment”.
Premium membership includes benefits like modifying the Wallpapers chat, seeing who has buried their story and seeing the “best friends” of one -other lists a la Myspace – a useful tool “when you are talking to a boy [and] You want to see if you are on their ‘Best Friends’ list, ”Mackezie explained.
But Carolina’s favorite feature so far is the ability to adjust the application logo design on its original screen to match its aesthetics, choosing a pink icon because it hated the original yellow.
Snapchat is one of the best social media platforms used between adolescents near Instagram and Tiktok, according to Pew Research Data, and has remained so popular because “changes friendships with features like strips and trophies, increasing user engagement while doing itself indispensable for maintenance of maintaining relationships, ”according to the cut.
As a result, most Mackezie friends are giving up money for Snapchat+ – “everyone loves it,” she said – even if it’s just to continue with their peers.
Parents, however, have not yet been sold.
“I just think it’s folly,” said Shannon, who hates social media and wants her to “remove it all.”
“They’re just everyone looking for attention.”
