Weird Context: it’s getting clear to me everyday how the American mind cannot think without involving Capitalism in their ideas.
I hear that even American parents are asking their teenage children for rent. Which is kind of weird to me considering how most cultures that I know of encourage kindness and social support. I might be biased here as I am not American and don’t have a deep experience with Americans beyond online interactions and news and articles about them.
parents asking their teenage children for for rent
German here. I enjoy bashing US Americans as much as the next one, but paying rent to your parents is something I had to do after finishing school with 19 (did a social year first and then went to uni and had to share my Bafög). And a lot of people I knew back then, had the same situation at home. At least for families with low income this seemed to be not out of the ordinary.
