Mother taking money from me and not returning it.

quit giving her money. you are obviously not loaning it since she fails to pay you back. I would get anooyed with her the same as she does when you ask her for your money…next time she asks, sound like a responsible adult and say not until you pay me back what you already owe me!!! pay your bills, I am one of your bills!!!

My mom did the same thing to me. I moved out of her house when I was 16 and she still got child support for me. Did I see any of that? No, I had to help her pay her bills and buy food for her house.

What you need to do is put your foot down! She is the mother NOT YOU! You should not be taking care of her she should be taking care of you. Tell her no and do not give in what so ever. You keep doing it so she thinks that it is ok to walk all over you. If it is your money then it is your money and if you don’t want to give it to her you don’t have to. Just because she is your mom doesn’t mean you have to give her your money that is crap and she should know that. Good luck to you sweetie , and I hope you really put your foot down or believe me it will NEVER end.

Simply a Rose to brighten your day,         And maybe lessen the cares in your way;         And also, too, to help you to know,         That in knowing you, many others grow!

  I hate to say it, but you may just have to chalk up your “loans” as an investment in your cost of living.

If possible, with the help of someone other than your mother, open a savings account at a local bank. Then, whenever you have spare money, put it into your savings account. It could be being saved for college, a car, or whatever. But, by putting it into your savings account you won’t have it “on hand” whenever your mother tries to borrow money from you in the future.

Since you are only 14, you’ll probably have to have an adult open the account with you. Since that might sort of make it a “joint” account, make sure it is someone you can trust.

If you don’t want your mother to know about the account, make sure that you tell the bank that you don’t want statements being mailed to you. You can always pick them up from the bank on your own.

Normally I wouldn’t advise a child to go behind their parent’s back. However, sometimes it is necessary for the protection of a child when the parent is being irresponsible.

well for one you forgot to say how old you are but the 2 that she said she lost I bet anything she has already spent that and the other if you have a bank account use that or find some one else that you can trust and let them hold on to it for you that way she cant touch it

dude that is absolute crap! if my mother stole money from me, I would bug her until she gave it back. that’s a horrible thing to do to your child, and I feel your pain. I dont have advice for this though because it’s never happened to me.. sorry!

dude when my mom doesnt giv me money, I tell HER mom and get the money =) works EVERY time!

No you are not being selfish if she owes you then it’s time to collect it’s not fair that parents steal from theri children…Oh crap thats already happening?!?!What kind of sick twisted world do we live in?!?!?! lol

Ok I am going to give you the immature answer which I like the most: A)Steal from her back B)Steal from her and claim the same things that she claimed about your money…If she hits you OH WELL you get your money back be happy =) C)Take her to court and sue her,I would

Now the responsible answer >_< :

A)Calmly sit down and have a talk with her about why she needed the money and ask for it back B)Ask her why she won’t give you back your money and take something of hers into possesion

I think the choice is clear so good luck and keep me posted on how it’s going.
