A mother has stirred widespread reactions online after revealing her decision to make her two daughters pay $800 monthly rent each because her new boyfriend is moving into their family home.
This surprising announcement came to light through a series of TikTok videos that have since gone viral, leaving many social media users debating the issue.
In the videos, the mother is seen explaining her decision to her daughters, stating that it’s time they started contributing to the household expenses by paying rent.
However, her daughters were visibly shocked and resisted the idea, expressing their displeasure and demanding reasons for the sudden change in household dynamics.
The daughters pointed out that the boyfriend, whom they claimed to barely know, was unemployed and had already begun enforcing house rules despite not being part of the family for long.
The mother, however, stood her ground and justified her decision, stating, “I have to do what’s best for my man. I love him,” indicating her strong commitment to her new partner.
As these videos circulated online, they sparked a mix of outrage, criticism, and support from viewers, many of whom shared their opinions in the comments sections.
