      just because it’s legally ok for you to take it, doesn’t mean it’s not theirs, even if it comes from you. civil forfeiture is legal, doesn’t mean it’s ok.

        I think they meant that kids spend money on skins that their parents earn, not that it’s okay for parents to take money their kids earn.

          Somewhere in Oklahoma, some 12 year old got back from their shift at the meat packing plant and found out their parents already spent their paycheck on Fortnite skins that SUCK 😑

      The solution is simple: don’t give kids money 🤷

              Arguing with that dude is like arguing with a sovereign citizen. His concept of the way the world works isn’t based in reality.

                You kind of did, by publicly posting it.

                  Because the lack of question marks indicates a question 🧠

        Or you know, just beat your kids like they did when I was young. Being bullied at school for not spending your allowance on Fortnite skins would pale compared to the spanking I’d get when asked where my allowance went.
