Social Dilemma-Would You Charge a Friend for Borrowing Baby Formula?

Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Christina and it's about baby formula and friends. Here's the email: Hi Jaime. My good friend and I both have babies that are under a year old. She ran out of baby formula and asked if she could have some of mine. I said she could, but she would have to pay for it. I don't have a lot of money and baby formula is hard to come by these days. She paid me the money and I thought all was ok. That's until I heard from some of our other friends that she's been trash talking behind my back. She's offended that I charged her for the baby formula because it was only enough for about five bottles. She thinks I put a ransom of her baby's health. I'm a single Mother and don't make the kind of money that she and her husband make. Am I a jerk for charging my friend for the baby formula? Thanks Jaime! ~ Christina I don't think Christina is a jerk. We all know that baby formula is hard to come by right now, but that's not even the point. Formula isn't cheap at all. And if Christina as a single mom doesn't make a lot of money, every penny counts. I understand her wanting to help her friend but NEEDING to ask for the money. So I think it was fine, and her friend should have understood that. That's my take anyway. What do you think about what Christina did. Let me know on the TRY Facebook page.
