Tamron could’ve asked: why mom didn’t go to prom, has mom gotten the opportunity to get glam and go out, is college paid for, does the daughter have a car, savings account, how are her grades…. Disclosing prices on social media brought the public into the conversation.

Tamron started off by saying , this is a judge free zone. Therefore, she wasn't going to ask that. The one thing I love about Tamron is she seems to keep her word. She will probably never have any guest walked off the set upset by a discussion they decided on before filming.

@kasmirsdaughter6211 Ай бұрын

Why should Tamron ask these racist questions? Would you suggest these questions had the mom been white? Many times people waddle into conversations and insert themselves into it. Clearly they can handle it financially and Tamron asked that question. Assuming that basic things like a car and a college fund are likely not taken care off is just you looking at it from whatever low expectations you have of these people. And don’t for one second think I assumed you are white. I didn’t.

We end up hurting more then helping and sometimes send the wrong message.

Moreover, it occurs to me, after hearing this child speak, that investing that money in a tutor to help improve and enhance her language skills would've been a much wiser use of those funds. (Investing in our children's education is an investment in their future that pays dividends throughout their lives.)

I spent 1500.00 on my kid in 2013. My youngest private school tuition is 16k a year. They are not rich, if they were, they wouldn't have rented a luxury vehicle or it wouldn't have cost so much to rent. Rich people get alot for free. Im sure the dealer would have loaned it to them as a favor for a high profile customer.

@itsbrandonboyd Ай бұрын

It's their money; they can do whatever they want with it. However, seeing how they put it out there, I've formed an opinion. $16,000 on a prom? That's ridiculous. Heck, $6,000 on a prom is ridiculous. It's a prom!!! It would've been wiser to invest that money into a down payment for a home or towards an education. I hope they don't look back on that decision one day and regret it.

@denisefarmer5170 Ай бұрын

Exactly 💯, But i honestly think mom will, she is sending that child the wrong message, IF she gets married I doubt her husband will be spending 💰 like that..🤔🤷🏽‍♀️

@TransformedSoul466 Ай бұрын

This had no substance, meaning. Mom didn't have a prom experience she threw 16k at her daughter's prom. Daughter can't even tell you how it was worth it. This wasn't even story worthy. Parents are doing this these days and it's their choice. If they got it or beg, borrow, or steal, it is their choice.

What I find funny is people complain that people have something to say about what they do. They wouldn't know unless you told it.. So you wanted people to know , you were bragging lets keep it real and $4000 for a rental car they took your money sweetheart they saw you coming.. No car cost that much to rent luxury or not

@icemanred Ай бұрын

To say that you weren't trying to flex on the cost is hard to believe. If you weren't trying to rub it in others face, why mention the cost? This was all about showing others up and I truly believe that the mother's intent was to do just that a sign that they are wealthy (not sure if they are or not). However, it is her money and she can do with it what she pleases. I just think it sends the wrong message of over indulgence.

Lives in the hood and showing off you have money. And live in Philly, you just put yourself in danger. Then goes on national television to the world to know is beyond me.

I have one question: does this Mom have 16,000 in her daughter’s bank account?? Does she have her a bank account?? If she does then great , if not she needs to learn priorities!!!

@shellythompson3740 Ай бұрын

If she doesn't, how does that affect you? Serious question!

@user-gy3vg6ne7r Ай бұрын

If you have to ask the question it’s apparent that you don’t have 16,000 in your bank account either and evidence that you don’t understand the concept here. Have an amazing day!!!

@shellythompson3740 Ай бұрын

@@user-gy3vg6ne7r , oh, I will have an amazing day. Thanks. I hope you do too. What I have in my account doesn't have your name on it, so it has no effect on your life. Neither does that mother/daughter duo.

We had a small prom getaway party for my granddaughter. Probably spent a couple hundred on decorations and food for a few guests. It was fun and we created some great memories, but we kept it within reason and didn’t go overboard.

Nah. We keep our money in the family as much as possible. We already have nice cars (no need to rent), different style clothes for different occasions. Shoes nah. To be a fool will make life much much more difficult. They didn’t mention what dad thought..

There is nothing wrong with parents wanting to do something nice and memorable for their children…. The prom also comes with graduation. If a parent can afford to do great things for their children, it’s okay. May God Bless this mother and her daughter…… I think people are expecting the worst for this young lady because of how her mother choose to treat her….. all eyes are on this young Princess, and she has an opportunity to continue to lift up her head and the head of her family…. It’s okay to have money and class… and they have both 🙏🏽 I pray greatness for this beautiful family.

There are different versions of "I got it". Hopefully for them it's the version that includes the paid off home, cars, and credit cards. None the less, it was a great experience for her in her world and time that she will always remember 💕 😊

@PamelaWard-qn6cf Ай бұрын

God gave each of us FREE WILL to CHOOSE! Each one of us is allowed to make our own decisions. She didn't ask anyone for help! She is allowed to spend her money as she desires, in the same manner that we choose a spouse that no one may care for, or a style that no one likes! In other words, why are people so bothered by the choices that other people make that has no effect on their lives. If you are reading this and you really want to do something, can anyone stop YOU?
