How do i collect money from my mom?

My mom wants to collect my earnings, help?

• I'm about to get a job by networking with a few friends, and my mom wants to collect at least half of my earnings. This is what she told me. "We'll stop by there and see about that job, I want half your pay though. I want you to pay rent." I'm 16, that's what she gets child support for. I'm making money for my future, not to pay her for blowing money on her sewing things. She's been ranting on and on for the past two weeks on how she can't wait until I turn 18 so she can move to MI. To do so, she has to kick me out and sell the house first. There's no room in the house where she's going for me. Why should I let her take my money, then leave me for dead. Is there any way I can get a bank account where my money will be safe from everyone but me?

• Answer:

  Yes, you can get direct deposit. Gosh, just make sure you finish school, set a goal for your life, and follow it aggressively. My mom could not wait to get rid of me either, even dumping me off with my dad when I as 15. Now I am 30, educated, and doing well... and guess who she comes to begging for money? Me. You can do it too, just stay in school and get everything you deserve in life. She will get what she deserves... eventually. Still, she is your mom, and though it may not seem like it she does love you and you love her. Sometimes relationships are effed up though, and those are just the cards we got. One day when u are an adult u can talk to her about all this and maybe see that she is a hurt person herself and did not know any better.
