Sanne vindt het gek dat haar ouders geld vragen: ‘Dat kost mij extra!’
Being 22 years old, Sanne is astounded by her parents asking her to contribute to the household expenses while she still lives with them.
“As parents, shouldn’t they know better?!” she disappointingly reacts. To Sanne, it seems quite unfair and unreasonable.
“I didn’t choose to be here; it was their decision to have a child. Why should I be financially responsible now?”
For Sanne, it feels like she is a burden to her parents rather than their child. The thought of having to pay while still studying and trying to build her future saddens her.
She works part-time and aims to save up for a good start, hoping to be independent soon. “Given the high rental prices and my current income, it’s already quite challenging,” she explains.
“Every euro I earn now, I want to save for a solid start. But with these extra costs, that future seems further away.”
