Today, I found out my mom has notebooks with lists of everything she has bought for me ever since I was born. Apparently she is going to make me pay her back for all the money she spent on me once I'm an adult. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my mom I wasn't doing very good mentally and I was looking for some support. She decided to remind me of all of the things I still haven't paid her back for. I'm now an unpaid loan, not her daughter. FML
Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML
Today, my mother found out I published a book. She demanded that I pay her all my royalties as repayment for her raising me. FML
Today, it's been months that my mom has owed me $174, and every time I ask she tells me she's too poor to pay me back. Girly bought an entire 180k dollar farm with my grandparents the day after I asked (also the money was used for gas, and she guilt tripped me into giving it to her). FML
Today, I found out that my grandma has been sending me birthday money every year. My mom just steals it before I ever see it. FML
Today, I discovered my mom has been using my credit card to buy everyone's Christmas presents. FML
Today, I discovered my own mother has been stealing money from me for months when I opened my savings box to find it empty. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me because I refused to lend her money. The reason I won't lend her money? The last time I did, she and my dad went out and bought a Macbook and a new car instead of paying bills. Apparently, I'm being 'selfish' by keeping my own money and putting it towards university. FML
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
Today, I found out my mom paid my best friend $20 to be my friend when we were 10. FML

I hope you kept your receipts for macaroni necklace and chores around the house. If not you'll be audited

I am so sorry that you have a mom like that. she is pathetic and I pity her. You do not have to pay her back - Ever. A minor is not responsible for any debts or agreements. And, even an adult is only responsible for debts for things they agreed to pay as an adult. Life just doesn't work that way for parents. You don't pay it back - You pay it forward by taking care of your children in the future. You cannot change your mom. Be prepared to move out and take care of yourself when you can. Don't ever let her guilt you into agreeing to "pay her back."

charge her for all the joy you have brought her plus any chores

give her a bill for the cost of therapy to help you cope with her crappiness

that reminds me of my boyfriend's mom, total bitch move. why have kids then if you don't want to really spend money on them in the first place?

I am an attorney and BY LAW, she can not make you pay her back for any of the required necessities of your upbringing. You can even report her, if she does so within six months after your legal birthday, for child abuse to the CPA. Have a nice day.

If I were you I wouldn't talk to her at all when I'm an adult

"Sure, OK, but you do realise that means I can't afford kids of my own, right? Oh, you want grandchildren? Tough."
