The Bank of Mom is closed.
New Jersey mom Kim Orozco, pictured here with her daughters Caylee, 14, and Carolina, 15 -- is one of many parents fed up with their kids' impulse buys on apps like Snapchat and Roblox. The in-app purchases of nontangible extras can quickly and easily add up, a phenomenon she called"highway robbery."Frustrated by her teenage daughters’ frivolous spending habits, Kim Orozco is putting her foot down — and refusing to foot the bill.
“I won’t pay for that s–t,” Kim, 48, told The Post, adding that she also won’t pay for their manicures, deliveries from Crumbl and Starbucks or “another crop top that looks exactly like every other crop top” they already have sitting in their closets.
While Kim claimed most parents won’t pay for such digital purchases, some still are — but they’re not happy about it.But despite her strong dislike of her kids’ in-app spending, Shannon said she feels like she’s on the hook for her 16-year-old daughter Mackenzie’s monthly $3.99 Snapchat+ subscription, which has been charged to her card for over two years.“It is kind of a waste of money, but just once you have it, you don’t want to take it away,” Mackenzie admitted.
