Don't worry about that. I had people buy me lotto tickets and I never Won. The first time I bought my own legally I won twice.

Then why take the dollar in the first place?

Because the lessons that cost you money or cause you pain are the ones that will remain vivid in your memory.

Might be easier said than done but in that case I'd just stop lending her money.

...or you could clean your room and not give her reason to deduct. I'm not saying it's right but if you know she does it and you give her cash anyway then you deserve it.

52 - Sounds to me like she's looking for any stupid reason to get out of paying her kid back. If the room was spotless, she'd find something else to deduct for. Hence why I'd just stop loaning her money, mother or not.

Oh wow 52. Lol. I was just using that as an example. As in...she's always finding ways to get out of fully paying me back. Dang. I didn't think that I had to list another example but I guess you didn't get the gist. Another example is when she said I'm taking 6 away from the 32 because I had to go out of my way to pick up your sister and brother. Then when I calmly told her that I was called into work that day (I even TOLD HER THAT DAY that I had been called in) she was like well you never told me that! Don't lie to me. And ended up taking more because I "lied to her". Da fuq?? Always finding ways to not pay me. Other times she would say I'll pay you back when I have enough. I don't have cash right now. Never bothers to remember or ever have cash on her when I remind her. Anyways number 52. Do you understand now or would you like more examples? -_-

And 54, yes I've stopped lending her money. She'd ask to. I say no, sorry but I don't have money. She then asks then what are you spending your money on? Why are you waisting your money? I oughta take your paychecks so you don't use it in frivolous ways!
