Majoratul cu plic, ca la nuntă. O mamă, revoltată: „Fiul meu mi-a cerut 500 de lei”

A Romanian mother expressed her disbelief over the trend of giving cash gifts at 18th birthday parties, where amounts start at 500 lei. Her son requested this amount for a friend's party, leading to a discussion about the changing customs surrounding such celebrations. The mother compared current practices to her own youth, where gifts were not obligatory and varied by personal means. She found that this trend is not isolated, as friends reported similar experiences, with some giving even 1,000 lei for extravagant parties. The post sparked mixed reactions among parents, with some supporting the cash gift tradition while others criticized it as a social pressure fueled by adults.
