Today, after years of loaning my mother countless amounts of cash that never get paid back, borrowing $60 from her, and being just one day late paying it off due to food poisoning, she sends a very large man to my door to collect, like she's Tony Soprano. FML

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, 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 asked my mother to pay back the $50 she owes me. Rather than paying me back, she raced off to "work". She's been unemployed for 3 years. FML
Today, my mother woke me up and asked to borrow money. Still groggy, I mumbled where my money stash was. She took all $300 and refuses to pay me back because I'm her son and I "owe" her. FML
Today, I'm 36 years-old, living with my parents, in debt. My mom always wants to solve my problems by giving me money, which she later claims as "borrowed", so now I'm highly in debt with the bank… and her. FML
Today, my mom decided to go against every promise she's made to everyone once again and left us in financial ruin. How? She took advantage of my kindness, and didn't pay any of the money she owes me for driving my car, and for so much more. I'm more than $2,000 in debt now. FML
Today, I discovered that the five-star meal that my friend treated me to last night was actually meant to be repayment of the $200 I loaned her last month. I needed that money for bills and she refuses to give me another cent. FML
Today, my mother asked me if she could borrow $200. Being the lovely daughter I am, I gave her my bank card to withdraw it herself. She gambled it away and maxed my bank account out. I had $1500 saved. FML
Today, after having loaned my girlfriend money after she claimed to be broke and unable to pay her rent and electricity bills, she went out, spent it all on a new purse and phone, and now refuses to pay me back. FML
Today, and for the past 2 years, my aunt has owed me money. She just admitted that she fell for a scam, and gave the scammer more than double the amount I'd loaned her. I felt bad for her… until I realized something. When I asked how she had it to give to them, but not to pay me back, she got mad and hung up on me. FML

People need to stop loaning money to people they know won't pay them back. She should have just let OP keep the $60.

So why don't you do the same to her?

I wouldn't loan her any more money, especially since its causing so much friction in your relationship.

I think you need to start counting how much cash you have given her. Then get it back.

I know how that is. I loaned money out and didn't harass to get the money back. Just waited til they were able to keep things nice and easy. I asked for a loan and I get hassled and texted and all that stuff asking when am I gonna pay them back. Its like really?

Some people can afford to let it slide. Others can't.

This is a horrible situation. People will just comment things like "Stop lending her money" but I know it's hard to say no when you mom needs help. Maybe try to sit down and talk to her without a huge man in front of you.

It depends on what you're loaning money to her for.

If she has the resources to send over a man whom OP has never seen before in his life, then it's more than likely that Mommie Dearest doesn't need "help" after all.

Just a random thought, but maybe she doesn't feel obligated to pay you back? She did raise for for years, which can be expensive. Either way you should talk to her.

While I don't my mom do this if I was late I have gotten to where I don't lend her money unless its helping both of us as she never pays it back and she yells that I'm tight fisted no I just want to eventually move out her house

Hope you gave him the $60 and said "When you deliver these, ask her for my $1000 at the same time"...

When your mum needs help, it's very hard to say no. Even if it's at detriment to yourself. I'm out £3000 to mine, haven't been on holiday for two years because of it. It burns a little but I know she needs the help more than we need the disposable income, and I know 100 percent I'd never have the shit pulled on me that your mum did. She'd be on a fast track to paying me back if she did! I think she needs a word in her ear about just how much you help here and that you won't be taken for a ride.
