When you watch a kid grow up throughout their whole lives, it is inevitable that your relationship with them evolves and changes whether you are one of their parents or not. They aren't going to be that chubby-cheeked toddler forever, and it's likely that you will go through difficult patches as well.
What is a lot less normal is that you start being charged a fee to see them, yet this is exactly what happened to one astonished woman with her close friend's oldest daughter. Her friend had begun to get her 13-year-old into modeling and influencing, apparently seeing some success with it.
This led to the girl having a work schedule that conflicted with the times she would usually spend time with her mom's friend, leading her mom to request a $400 fee for the privilege of spending time with her child. Understandably, this proposal did not go down well.
