In the bustling city of Singapore, a 31-year-old single mother found herself at a crossroads, grappling with the challenges of raising an autistic child. In early 2023, she embarked on an unconventional side hustle – becoming a sugar baby to secure additional financial support for her child’s medical and therapy bills.
The Sugar Daddy Encounter
Having ventured into the realm of sugar babying, the woman encountered a 55-year-old sugar daddy through a website. The man, claiming to be separated with three children, presented himself as a decent companion with a “premium membership.” Initial impressions fostered a sense of trust, and an agreement of S$600 for their rendezvous was established.
The Alleged Scam
However, after their first and only encounter, the sugar daddy allegedly reneged on the agreed-upon payment. Faced with a moral dilemma and unsure of legal recourse, the single mother decided to bring her plight to the media’s attention, seeking justice and exposing the pitfalls of the sugar baby lifestyle.
She said:
Basically Hi, I am a victim of a runaway sugar daddy. Greatly need your help in this matter. Can you post it up? We chatted on sugarbook, agreed to meet up but after intimacy, he pretended to be asleep. Tried waking him up but he didn’t, so I had no choice but to go cause I’m already late for work. Tried nudging him numerous times, and at the very last nudge, he told me to pass him my number & he’ll paynow me once he’s awake before I left.
He’s a ERA property agent at his 50s, married & with 3 kids. But he told me he’s a single dad.. and I know he lied cause I stalked his fb then I know.
I have other evidence to provide if ever you need to validate my case. Can you include his face and I need to let ppl know what a disgusting fellow he is!!
Sugar Babying as a Side Hustle
For the single mother, sugar babying was not a full-time endeavor but a means to bridge the financial gap while maintaining a regular job. The motivation stemmed from the exorbitant costs of her child’s medical needs. Despite her lack of experience, she navigated the sugar babying world, unaware that not everyone would uphold their financial commitments.
Lack of Experience and Unpaid Dues
Having yet to grasp the intricacies of the sugar babying trade, the woman found herself perplexed and disappointed by the sugar daddy’s refusal to pay. The uncertainty of involving law enforcement further complicated matters, leaving her in a challenging situation as she juggled the responsibilities of parenthood.
The Impact on the Single Mother
The aftermath of the alleged scam took an emotional and financial toll on the single mother. As a lone parent, she grappled with unforeseen challenges, contemplating alternative solutions to meet her child’s needs while also reflecting on the broader implications of her sugar babying experience.
