30+ Selfish Moms Who Tried Using Their Kids to Get Freebies, But Really Ended Up Getting Exposed on Social Media
Some Daycare
We understand that childcare isn’t cheap or easy to come by. However, this solution seems to lack a bit of sympathy for stay-at-home moms and the work they do.
While the want for affordable childcare is understandable, this person is essentially asking someone to watch another toddler for $125 per 40 hours a week. No matter what job you take on, that pay isn’t going to go far.
A Nintendo Discount
If someone is selling their Nintendo system, they might be trying to get rid of it but they clearly want or need to get a little money for it. If they wanted to give it away, they would.
As this person clarifies, they were expecting to make a little money off of their Nintendo. So, they couldn’t just give away their Nintendo for a lower price than they’d already offered. This woman’s plea seemed to ignore the fact that she might not be the only one who’s tight on money.
The Influencer Effect
There are some things that people don’t have time for or frankly just don’t want to do. Take this mom, for instance. Clearly, baking isn’t at the top of her priorities so she’s decided to ask for some help. That’s okay! What’s not okay is asking for services paid in “exposure.”
Odds are, the people asking rarely have the following that they think they do to actually make this a worthwhile offer. Clearly, this person tried to get extra brownie points mentioning that it was for a child’s birthday and their love for small businesses.
Celebrating Spring Break
For kids, one of the most exciting things about spring break is the chance to have a break from school for a week. If your parents have an exciting trip planned, all the better!
This mom clearly wanted to do something special for her kids, which is admirable! What isn’t quite as sweet is asking for someone to totally sponsor the trip, especially with so many people potentially going. “Sponsor” makes it sound like they aren’t invited either.
When you have kids, money can run even tighter than you might be used to when you were just supporting yourself with your income. Still, that doesn’t mean that everyone else is lounging on piles of money with free time that they selfishly aren’t using to help parents. These parents took things too far when they asked for too much.
