The ‘Live-it-up’ Parents Vs. The Upset Kids: Who’s Right?
The ‘Live-it-up’ Parents have decided to break the mold and live their life to the fullest, planning to spend their hard-earned money on themselves rather than leaving it behind for their children.

The parents, on the other hand, believe they’re teaching their children an invaluable lesson about making their own way in life. Now, let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
