Would you do the same?

hand holding out money

OMG -- this is just nuts. Parents of a twentysomething man in China say they have to pay their son 100 yuan ($15) every time they want to speak to him.

Ch-ching!

According to the man's parents, their son's cell phone is always switched off, and he somehow always manages to avoid meeting them when he enters or leaves the house.

"Once I left 100 yuan outside his room's door with a note asking him to call me back, and he did," the man's father said. "Ever since then, we have to leave a 100-yuan note outside his door if we expect him to call us."

Would YOU pay your kid to talk to you? Comment below!

NO WAY!! I love my kids, but I’d be showing him the door at that point. He’s an adult still living in their home and charging them to speak to him? Something wrong w/that picture.

You cannot be serious! How does a parent-child relationship break down so badly you have to PAY your child to speak to you?? This is one of the most patethic things I’ve ever heard. Those parents lost control of that kid LONG ago!

LOL. I would haul their happy butts to Military School and knock that snobby crap out of them.

Yeah right, My son would want to talk to me to get money, not the other way around.

er, no, next time his dad should glue the note to the floor… what a cheeky little kajsbdvkjdskvjn!!!

Yeah, and then he would have to pay me $20 to wash his clothes, $15 cook him dinner and $50 clean up after him and $200 for room and board. Somehow I feel like he will want to start talking to me for free.
