Being a parent is arduous, even though there are many books and courses to help parents nowadays. However, there are many people out there who should not be parents because of the bad example they give to their children. For example, this mom on Reddit who tried to coerce and manipulate her teenage son into paying for the light bill with money he got from birthday presents. The mother still uploaded the video, but unlike she thought many would agree with her, this situation backfired on her.
Redditor EyeSimp4Asuka shared on r/TikTokCringe a video of how this mother recorded herself and her two sons while arguing with the older one, who was not on camera. The discussion is about how this mom wants her teenage son to pay for the light bill with his birthday money. Still, her oldest son refuses, and the mother starts trying to make the teenager feel bad by saying that he should help her and that it is tough to be a parent. She also rubs in her children’s faces, saying that she does everything for them, like feeding or caring for them, which is her duty as a mother. Not only that, but the teenager complains that it is unfair that because he refused to pay, his mother threatened to take away his PS5.
The older son also complains to his mother that he has no money because she has been going out a lot lately. She reacts defensively, telling him that she is an adult and that he should stay out of her business.
Don’t tell him stay out your adult business when you’re bringing him into that!

Paying bills is the most businessy part of “adult stuff”

This is when the younger son comes out to defend his brother, claiming to his mother that she should spend more time with them and that she should spend her money on bills. Again, the mother reacts badly, telling the younger son that she was not talking to him and that he should stay in the child’s place. This is when the older one comes out to defend the other, saying she can’t tell his brother to stay in the child’s place when she wants them to pay the bills. The older one also adds that their mother should spend the money on them instead of on her and “her little boyfriend.” The worst thing is that besides the fact that the mother is obviously wrong, in the text of the video, she says that she has already used her son’s money.
