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?

Dont give her any more money. You should have figured this out the first time she didn't repay you.

You should ask the guy how much he charges, then hire him to do the same to your mother. Since she does owe you countless amounts of crash

If the pay is good I'll happily hire myself out as a bodyguard. I can even supply my own weaponry! Nerf guns are legit bodyguard gear right?

I've learned that when it comes to family (especially parents) money is only owed when you borrow it from them. Just ask my mom and the $200 she owes me for getting her car fixed that one time.

if she owes you so much money, why did you call the $60 a loan? it was just some of the money she owed you

Don't loan her anything anymore and don't borrow either. From now on just say you're broke.

Don't loan money to people who have no intention of paying you back.

Send a collector around her house to claim what she owes you

Cut her off and make her pay you back. Why should you have to continually loan her money and she doesn't have to pay you back just because she's your mom ( I'm assuming that's one of her reasons I could be wrong) but if you borrow a little bit all the sudden you have to pay it back right then and there?
