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 Caaylee, 14, and Carolina, 15, to dive into the modest profits of the grandfather to go bankrupt any non -essential purchases – like their 40 dollars per year Snapchat+ memberships.
“I won’t pay for that s – t”, Kim, 48, Tod the post, adding that she would also not pay for their manicures, sender from crumbl and starbucks or “another high culture that looks Just like any other culture “they have already sat in their closets.
“They will do the DOordash Starbucks every day if I let them.”
And the immersed parent is not only the more others in her circle, she said, are refusing to fork for money for their teenage impulse purchases, especially for the app, a phenomenon she called “highway robbery”.
Kim stopped the video application Roblox in her family, for example, after being “burned many times” by the expenses of the game, her children capturing hundreds of dollars of accidental charges.
“Roblox attracts you,” she said.
Other parents have shared stories of the horror of microcharges within the tears of eye ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars, with a family worth $ 4,000 due to the excessive disclosure of their son’s expense in Roblox, where the line between “real money” and “fake money” are unclear, the couple said.
At Reddit, a mother said her son spent $ 568 on the game within the app and coins on his headphones Meta VR, while another parent weighed whether or not to let their children spend their permission for purchases in game like Fortnite “Digital Currency”, draw.
“It’S’S their money, and I’m everything to let them” lose “it in free toys or impulsive purchases, because this is the best way to learn important lessons,” the user wrote , adding that “such lessons” include things as the importance of saving money or understanding 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 in 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 is a kind of money, but only after you have it, you don’t want to remove it,” Mackezie admitted.
“It is annoying, but this is today’s new standard,” she said.
The text, apparently, is so late, like Mackezie Murphy and Carolina Orozco said they use the application of ephemeral messages for the community, saying they love the aesthetically pleasant themes within the app and add to improve their experience.
“It is more trendy,” Karolina told The Post, adding that Snapchat is “more fun” than text.
“I feel like when you think about text messages, you think of your parents,” Let me write my mother or dad, but when you are talking about your friends, you immediately head to snapchat because it is. “
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 each other’s “best friends” lists a La mypace – 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 among adolescents near Instagram and Tiktok, according to Pew Research Data, and has remained so popular because it “gals friendship with features such as steaks and trophies, increasing user engagement while does it. ”According to the cut.
As a result, most Mackezie friends are giving up money for Snapchat+ – “everyone wants it,” she said – even if it’s just to continue with their peers.
Parents, however, are not sold yet.
“I just think it’s stupid,” said Shannon, who hates social media and wants it to “remove it all.”
“They’re just everyone looking for attention.”
