Today, my mom yelled at me because I refused to lend her money. The reason I won't lend her money? The last time I did, she and my dad went out and bought a Macbook and a new car instead of paying bills. Apparently, I'm being 'selfish' by keeping my own money and putting it towards university. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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, 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, 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, my mother started nagging me for spending $500 on a guitar, stating that, "We're not in the mood for unnecessary bullcrap." I paid for it with MY money, and she suddenly turned up at MY house because my father kicked her out of their house after finding out that she cheated on him. FML
Today, I dropped out of college and moved back home to help my mom take care of my younger siblings after our father's death. My mom yelled at me and scolded me and lectured me for throwing my life away, and said this was the last thing she ever wanted me to do. I thought she needed help. FML
Today, I bought my mother an expensive TV she had been looking at. After I bought it, she continued browsing for more stuff. I told her I couldn't afford the extra items. She got mad and called me "selfish". FML
Today, my mum got annoyed and screamed that I should appreciate her more, all because I had to get my car scrapped and wouldn't let her friend who'd offered me 100 pounds less than another scrapper. I'm broke and we're in a cost of living crisis. 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 cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML

Sounds like my family. My mom or brother gets money they need stuff for themselves and if I get any it comes out of the next months pay PERIOD. I've applied for disability and my mom's already counting on MY money to help around the house. I've already made it clear I'm moving out when I get it. No I'm not trying to make myself just look nice but when you get 60 dollars for working 7 days a week for 3 adults who don't appreciate it and you're supposed to be grateful for that money no you don't want to share your money. With the back pay I can furnish an apartment with all new stuff but yeah carpet for the house, a new bed and all that for people who only want me around for the money I don't think so.

You should give your parents whatever they want. They brought you up, clothed you etc. You could never do enough for your parents. You only realise that when they not there anymore, and by then it's too late

195, you're an idiot. It's the parents' choice to have a child. It was their choice to keep the child. It was their choice whether or not to buy all the nice things that children can indeed go without. So no, you shouldn't "give your parents whatever they want" because you didn't choose to be born, it was their choice and their responsibility, and it's generally frowned upon to let your child be naked and starving in the streets, you know.

Why would she ask her own daughter for money? If she is flat broke you are one wise investor...keep it up...
