Today, my mother machine-washed a suit I rented for a friends wedding, despite me informing her that it was dry-clean only, and that the store would take care of it. I now owe $1600 to replace the suit, and my mum is refusing to help pay, as she was "only trying to help." FML

Hello guys! OP here. Did not think it would get posted. So, to add onto the story, my friend's wedding was postponed a week because we had a little rain and he wanted an outdoor wedding. My mom usually is a pretty wonderful woman, but she is still used to cleaning up after myself and my siblings, probably because my youngest has muscular dystrophy and can't walk. We ended up sorting it out with the company, who informed us they could send us a new one. To be honest, repairing the suit would have cost less than just renting another one. Anyway, thanks for listening to the rant. Bye.

Be sure to tell your mom that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. That and to get her hearing aide checked.

First, you need to move out of your mom's house so she wont have access to your clothes. Then take her on Judge Judy and make her pay the suit. Its ridiculous of her to play innocent and to leave you hanging like that.

il give 100 bucks to pay towards it on my friends credit card

Throw her off a cliff. You're "only trying to help" her reach the other side faster. =D

Sucks man! You shouldn't have to pay for that yourself

Take her purse and say you were trying to help her not spend any money.

Why do all of the parents seem so mean? that sucks. FYL OP,

that's crap! I dint care she was only tring to help. I would " help" her with something expensive

Ask her to "try to help" you again with paying.
