A 13-year-old boy who had found some fame and fortune making YouTube videos tried to get cocky at home — until his mother taught him a lesson about entitlement and independence.
When Estella Havisham’s son, Aaron shared his excitement on social media about the income he was receiving from his popular videos, saying that since he is “making money now,” he thought his mother no longer had the right to tell him what to do.
He thought wrong.
Havisham shared on her Facebook that after her son’s post, she taped a note to his door. The note included a contract that was intended to teach him a lesson about responsibility, respect and finances.
She posted the contract on Facebook, where it received a lot of praise and attention.
“Since you seem to have forgotten that you are only 13 and I’m the parent, and that you won’t be controlled, I guess you will need to learn a lesson in independence,” Havisham wrote in the letter. “Also, as you threw in my face that you are making money now, it will be easier to buy back all the items I bought for you in the past.”
The mother then detailed the various bills her son would need to start paying now that he was making money, including $430 a month for rent, $116 for electricity, $21 for Internet and $150 for food.“Also you will need to empty the trash Mon, Wed & Friday as well as sweep and vacuum those days,” the note continues. “You will need to keep your bathroom clean weekly, prepare your own meals and clean up after yourself. If you fail to do so I will charge you a $30 maid fee for every day I have to do it.”
