Apparently, having no kids means you’re supposed to buy gifts for everybody else’s.

A brother volunteers a child-free couple to buy Christmas gifts for the whole family’s children. When they say no, he tells them not to come to Christmas.

This week on Only Black Kids in the Class, we’re getting into families who think your money, time, and choices belong to them.

A sister refuses to take no for an answer about babysitting, a mother thinks her birthday deserves better than Dad’s, and one wife spends $11,000 of the household savings on her ex’s funeral. Her explanation does NOT help.

Plus, Ask the Black Kids gets into marriage for military benefits and a nine-year relationship with a seven-year engagement. We also try Van Leeuwen’s Dulce de Leche Shortbread ice cream for School Snacks. That pint deserved its own discussion.

Classmates, when did helping family turn into being responsible for everybody?

He told his friend the wedding started at 10 AM. It actually started at noon. He just wanted two hours of free setup labor.

When the lie came out, his friend refused to help. Was walking away the right response, or should he have helped anyway?

OBK are grading three celebrations that turned into traps:

• A groom lies about the wedding time to get free labor

• A fake birthday becomes a fight over family manipulation

• A fiancé walks out four days before the wedding to “find himself” in Asia

A teenager destroys her aunt’s $20,000 coat for a prank, and her mother says the aunt’s wealthy husband can replace it. That is only the first family member who thinks somebody else’s money, labor, or patience belongs to them.

This week, the Classmates are grading The Family Tax:

• A niece films herself ruining a $20,000 coat, then the adults argue over who should pay.

• A mother makes the women audition their Christmas desserts, and the rejected wives begin dropping out.

• A new father spends his baby’s college money on a 1972 Bronco, gets bailed out, and tells another lie.

• A stepdaughter says, “You’re not my real dad,” then asks her stepdad to buy plane tickets.
