Remember when you were young and invited your colony or school friends to your home, how your mother would get busy welcoming them. She would cook delicious dishes for them, arrange different things for all of you to play, and ensure that the other children do not face any problems. All these things would cost your parents money, but they would not pay much attention to these things, because your happiness would matter to them. But nowadays times have changed a lot. Now parents invite their children’s friends to their home, and then take money from the parents of those children, only after that they prepare for the party. If not in India, this culture is spreading rapidly in England (England woman charge money for play dates).
37-year-old yoga teacher Rebecca Tidy, who lives in Cornwall, England, is a single mother. Her daughter’s name is Mabel. Recently, she had an experience that she had not even thought of. Actually, Rebecca had shifted from Kent to an area called Truro just 4 months ago. She did not know the customs there. Once her daughter had a play date at another girl’s house. In a play date, children gather at one child’s house, play, and eat food there, which is prepared by the child’s family.

Had to pay money for play date
But Rebecca was surprised when her daughter had to go to another girl’s house for a play date, and the girl’s mother was collecting 5 pounds i.e. 539 rupees from each one. The other mothers were transferring the money immediately without any questions. Rebecca thought that she was not buying any paan or vegetables that she would pay, but since everyone was giving, she did not refuse. Then she came to know that in that town every parent gives money for their child’s play date. Sometimes 200 rupees and sometimes 300 rupees. Once a parent asked Rebecca for 800 rupees because all the children, along with her child, were going to a park by bus and the bus fare had to be paid.
Rebecca also stopped taking the money
Then he realised that the expenses in the family have increased so much that the parents are not able to bear them themselves. That is why when it comes to the expenses of their children, they pay, but take the expenses of other’s children from their parents. According to The Sun website, the cost of living is increasing rapidly in Britain, due to which parents are finding play dates to be a very expensive affair. Then he realised why the parents here charge money for the children’s play dates. Then he also started charging money for play dates.
