It's the final countdown

Today, I found out my mom has notebooks with lists of everything she has bought for me ever since I was born. Apparently she is going to make me pay her back for all the money she spent on me once I'm an adult. FML

I hope you kept your receipts for macaroni necklace and chores around the house. If not you'll be audited

Thats messed up. Lol. I would not pay her back. She's your mom. Aren't parents suppose to buy you things you need when your a baby/child? Seems like she doesn't really care.

Hmmm, are you Chuck Norris? lol jk. FYL OP, I'm taking a course in law, and you have no legal obligation to pay for her. Report her.

Well, if truly is intending to see it through that you pay her back, get someone else involved in the situation. Seriously. For one, babies alone can add up to over 50 grand a year or something like that, probably more. Not to mention, years of toys/clothes/etc. Having kids isn't cheap. Not to mention, your parents are legally financially responsible for you until you turn 18. Whatever she bought you that wasn't a necessity for life, she chose to buy that, and she can't expect you to pay her for toys you got when you were 6. If she hadn't bought food and clothing and provided you with some means of shelter, she would be removed from the household because of neglect and possible abuse as well. She didn't have to buy you other things besides that, but it's not unreasonable to expect parents to buy their children things every once in awhile. I'm not saying spoil them, but if someone came to the house and noticed you had no toys of any sort and you weren't obviously poor, your mom would get into trouble, or at least questioned. Basically, this is really messed up. But you don't have to pay her back, no way. What's she going to do about it? Get someone involved if you need to, such as the court or police. Sounds like your mother is psychotic.

Wow that's soo ****** lol...I'd "accidentally" do something to that notebook...

I think several good suggestions were made: 1-Tell her you'll pay her back after college (so you don't risk loosing the funds) 2-After a year of saving up on a good post-college job buy her back the exact same shit like diapers and toys and kids clothes. 3-Have *her* mom produce a similar book. 4-Leave and never keep in touch ever again...except once: 5-Send her a single picture of your baby years later; write on the back "not keeping tabs of her expenses"
