Today, I found out that the $200 I reluctantly gave to my mother so she could rent a house was paid to a scammer. Now she wants to live with me, in my one bedroom apartment. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my roomie has lost her only source of income. This means I'm responsible for all the bills and the rent. I would kick her out and get someone else, but she's my mother. FML
Today, after months of helping my mother with bills because she claimed she had no money, I found out she makes way more than what I do. She just wanted my money for alcohol and drugs. FML
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. 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 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, I discovered that my mother has been stealing from me to cover her mountain of debt. I’m barely making ends meet as it is. When I confronted her, she had the gall to suggest I get a second job to support her. FML
Today, my mother told me she thinks it is time for me to move into my own place. I agreed with her and went to look at studios/flats online. She later came into my room, saw me looking at places and then got pissed off at me, saying that I hate her for wanting to leave her. FML
Today, and for the past 2 years, my aunt has owed me money. She just admitted that she fell for a scam, and gave the scammer more than double the amount I'd loaned her. I felt bad for her… until I realized something. When I asked how she had it to give to them, but not to pay me back, she got mad and hung up on me. FML
Today, I found out I'm on wage garnishment because my mother, who took out a student loan for me back in '05, didn't pay off the $2015 owed when she said she would. I got screwed over financially because of her. FML
Today, I finally got all of my finances to move out of my house. My mother, instead of being happy for me for moving out of her house, blames me because she needs my rent money, states I will not be happy out in the world and disowned me because I didn't move out when she wanted me to. She wanted me to stay until she was 55. FML

Sorry about your mom's stupid mistake OP, but you can't kick out your own mom right? Hope you explained everything to her so that she won't make the same mistake twice...

The dad who mailed $200 to the wrong address should guest star in this sitcom.

Haha I would tell my mom to **** off If she can't be responsible with money at her age She deserves to be on the streets She gives you money Not the other way around

Wow, not even I am that evil... I would at least put my mom in with other family people, if I didn't want her around.

I've known a mother who would criticize her kid over the point of abuse and act like a full on stalker. If she was told to back off she'd just say 'after all I've done for you, why would you say that!!!' Just because you gave birth to someone doesn't mean you are a personal god to your child for life.

I don't get how people actually thinking that way about their mothers. fyl because she is moving to your tiny place? hell, man. If my mom ever needed a place, I wouldn't care to give her all I've got and live in the streets jusy to make her feel safe and got a home. Down vote me as much as you want. Whoever think the way you just did about their mother is a complete idiot. Your mother is irreplaceable and she deserves a better son than you. Bye.

You don't know the OP's relationship with his/her mother, the mother's character or the size of the apartment. The OP didn't say that he/she won't let his/her mother move it, so it is his/her right to be annoyed, because it's probably not going to be pleasant. For example, I love my mother dearly and owe her much, but our relationship was horrible when I was still living at home. She also snores very loudly. If she moved into my apartment, I would flee.

So, basically you rather your own mother to be homeless and begging for food if she ever needed a home or a shelter than let her in with you in the same house....? Well, try not to be as bad to your kids so they don't think the same way you do. God...
