A recent graduate, who moved out of their parents’ house to a different city for better job prospects, finds themselves in a family conflict. The parents insist on regular visits and decided to charge a small amount of ‘rent’ for weekend stays, claiming it would teach financial responsibility. However, the young adult, who is fully supporting themselves, opts to stay with a childhood friend for free instead, sparking a heated debate about responsibility and maturity.
