Mom living off of me?
-
I love my mother. She raised me on her own since she was 15. My dad was a wuss and ran away. She was a waitress at a 5-star hotel and earned enough to get us by. When I was 16 prices went up, and I got a job in kfc, on weekdays 5-9 on weekends 9-4. I gave half of it to my mom and I kept the other half for clothes and stuff. Now I'm older I got a job as a nurse. I earn 450 dollars a week and my mother takes half of that. Before you say it I moved out 2 years ago. She says stuff to me like "I gave up my life for you" or "I had endless periods for you!" or even "I raised you". Then when I give it to her for gas or electricity or petril, she spends it on clothes, and then I have got to give her more. When I first got the job in kfc she took 25 dollars from me and said "this is rent". I was 17 years old! My boyfriend says my mom is using me and that I am just an atm to her. She's my mom! She never used me! But is he right? How do I stop her? I only have 250 dollars at the end of the week! Thats out of 450 dollars.

Answer:
She is definitely using you :( theres nothing you can do but stop giving her money (if you want to) and when she asks you why you're not giving her $$ make up some kind of bill that needs to be paid (as in lie).If you don't want to lie then just tell her the truth about how you're mother is being a bum & she shouldn't expect you to support her. She could bring out that "I raised you!" argument but no-one should give money to a child & expect that child to grow up & pay the parent back. that's so selfish

Offer to actually pay the bills for her if you don't wanna stop giving her the money that YOU earned. Its not your fault that she got pregnant at 15. You shouldnt lett her control you like that.
there was once a time when you lived off her body. That said make sure the money is spent wisely because its few. if you have to tell her anything regarding this problem make sure its nicely. also maybe both of you should live together. i know people will think youre a loser for living with your mother but thats not the case. your mother is living with you. if you love her you will do the right thing.
Does your mother have a job? if she does, tell her to stop, and stop giving it to her. unless you know its an item she really needs that she cannot pay for, if she cant pay for her house, she needs to move out. tell your mother that she needs to realize you cant always be there and give her money, eventually her, and even you need to live by your own. even tho you already are. your mother needs a reality check, make her survive without your money, and who knows if your boyfriend is right, if you know your mom is saying she needs it for something she needs thats an essential, like a new light or oven persay, (wierd word <---) and then she goes off buying something that is worthless that she doesnt need, like a kitty, and lies, then yes she is using you. but if i were you ide have a serious talk, and agree on not giving her money, or moving out, or anything to help her realize your not an income of money to her. iknow you love her but you need to Lay Down The Line! hope this helps.
It sounds to me like your mother is trying to put a guilt trip on you.It is not your fault your father walked away and she did choose to have you.Don't let her make you feel like a burden to her because it seems to me you are doing a good job of contributing towards the bills. You say your mother TAKES 1/2 of your paycheck.That must mean you are giving it to her.Tell her you want to keep more of your money because after all you went to school to to become a nurse and you do not even live with her any more.It is a parents job to raise their children and if she didn't want to do that she shouldn't have had you.I would keep all of your money.It does not mean you do not love your mom. She is using guilt to get money from you.
she is probably using you. people changes, my mom is also like that!. I am from a very poor country, but i am half japanese, so I went to japan to work at the age of 14. and my dad is also useless and theyre divorced so he doesnt give a ****. i send my mom half of what I earn, sometimes she gets like 80 percent of it or all of it. because i believe its for her my sister my grandparents. I send my sister to private school, and i pay their rent and buy their food.then after few months she started to ask for more than what I gave her. she started to make up stories about us investing on business. buying a house and she needs first payment, I asked her to buy me things like a motorcycle when I was 15,with my own money and It didnt even exist!. she spends it on gambling, on her dumbass boyfriend. faking sickness, she broke my heart into millions of pieces!. she did that to me since I was 14!. until I got sick of her. I forgived her hundreds of times already, because i love her, and she is my mom. I didnt even get to go to highschool because of what she have done!. she used to be not like that. she used to be loving, and spoiled me, and try to give me everything. but she has changed. I dont know your mom but even if they are our moms it doesnt mean they cant do these things to us! though its very unbelievable!.. I m telling you to try to do something about it before you end up like me and my mother, I love her but at the same time I hate her. I talk to her but with hate and I dont know if this will go away.. its been years ago. and I feel like I dont care about anything about them anymore.
How much can give her? Calculate your bills and savings goals. Stick to an amount never change it and you will teach her to expect that.
