There was a video going around that Cody said he told Kylee, “June 1, our rent is due if you continue to live here.” Erica said she thought the idea was a little harsh at first, but in the end she agreed with her husband. The parents think that making their daughter pay rent teaches her a good lesson about how to handle money.
A lot of people responded to the couple’s movie; hundreds of them shared their thoughts. Some viewers liked the couple’s method, but others strongly didn’t and called them “bad parents” and “selfish.” Some people said that asking rent was too harsh, especially since Kylee was so young.
Parents, responsibility, and the best ways to get young people ready for independence are all important issues that come up in the debate.
