A mother on TikTok has been on the receiving end of some backlash after revealing what she did with her 9-year-old son’s birthday money from his grandma. The negative response from viewers and other creators led to her disabling comments, but the mother still believes she was in the right and has put forward her own argument, which might have made some rethink their initial outrage.
The video was originally shared by “@TryingMyFkinBest.” In it, she explains that her son got money from his grandma for his birthday and asked his mother if she could buy him sushi with the money. “I thought we were gonna have a bonding time and go get it together,” she says, but “he asked me if I could go get it. I told him he had to pay me gas money cause, you know, consequences.”
