Donate anyways, its such a pain beating kids without weapons, every dollar counts.

That's actually quite terrifying.

They deserve to be abused? Really? No offense, OP, but your mom sounds awful. No rational, caring human being would say something like that.

As someone who has ongoing struggles with parents, I would highly advise you to donate something. Maybe your mother just doesn't realize how you can be changing lives for the better.

wow, doesn't sound like an incredibly kind woman. but regardless, your money, and it is towards a very good cause.

Although her 'they deserved it' reasoning is absolute bonkers and stupid and wrong on so many levels she's probably right. Very few legit charities exist out there, most of the time the money you donate will never reach their advertised targets(not all of it anyway),it's a mix of scams, bureaucracy, etc..

What the ****? What a shitty mom!!!

On her birthday dont buy her shit, tell her it would have been a waste of money and she probably didnt deserve it anyways. Karma.

deserved it anyways? what the actual ****. in my opinion thats the shit that needs to be adressed, not spend your money how you want. im not a pretend psychologist like 99% of other commenters but im pretty sure basic common sense agrees that train of thought is ******

Unless you're saying FML because you have a rude mother, I don't see what the big deal is. Your mother does need to pull her head out of her ass though... that's just wrong. It's not the kids fault their parents are human waste.
