Today, my mom let me know that I'll have to spend my entire tax return on replacing my car brakes. The reason I need new brakes is because almost every single time she uses the car, she floors the gas while the parking brake is still on. FML

To answer some responses Im a girl and I don't put the parking brake on, my mom happens to somehow put it on whilst driving and she does not notice the light on the dashboard :/

Mom needs to a) let her son keep his tax money that her son is entitled to, and b) mom needs to pay to have the breaks replaced herself . Good luck OP.

huh. with the brakes on you'd think she wouldn't have trouble stopping the habit. sorry, OP!

So don't let her drive the car she's obviously to stupid to drive.

brakes are pretty cheap.

Minors get tax returns? How much do you earn? Because, wow.

Uh... The parking brake is different from the brakes. The parking brake is an engine brake. while the brakes are in a completely different place. I'm a girl to so I don't need to hear the I'm a girl story either.

I'd tell her to pay for it herself :o

If I was you. I would stop letting my mom use my car.

She needs to buy her own car.

Stop using the parking break 90% of the time you don’t need it. Smh
