Sometimes it is true that you can’t even trust your own family!

This guy shares how his mom borrowed money from him and refused to ever return it!

Check out the full story.

AITA I lent money to ma when I was child & have been trying to get her to pay it back

When I was a kid around 10 or 11 I used to get paid to do chores like vacuuming the house, cleaning the car etc 10 quid here or 20 quid there every now & again I’d be doing all the chores available to me.

This is where it gets tricky!

When my parents split when I around 14-15-ish & it was at this point it time were my ma started looking to me & my siblings for money.

I honestly could not tell you why I gave her that money but I was young & impressionable & perhaps trusted my ma a bit to much. It was 895 euro which is lot of money.

I’m 20 M I work part time while in college I’m in my second year of 4 years at this college.

I had planned to pay my way as I went however my parents offered to cover the cost which I was more than happy to let them do of their own volition to contribute to my future prospects & education towards my future career.

That’s INSANE!

Around November 2024 my ma started charging me rent she does this with 2 of my 4 siblings. I live in my family home with my ma 2 of my sisters & my brother my other sister has no relation to my mother & is irrelevant in this story.

When she started charging me rent I was furious with the fact that she had the gall to suck money out my bank like a vampire when she owes me money I of course was outraged when she started charging me 80 quid a month ( I make around 630-690 euro every month on average ) I choose to invest my my money & to save & be financial responsible I think she took offense when I didn’t engage in rampant consumerism & wasting my money on non essentials like she did when she was young.

She’s being so SELFISH!

She moved out when she was 18 she always says stuff to me saying why don’t you spend your money what are saving your money to spend on she says this line “I’ve had enough to invest” or I’ve never had enough to save & if you ask me it complete & utter bull crap.

When she moved out at 18 already had a job when she was 16 she is still with the same company she gone through many job titles but was always int he same company is currently an it coordinator high paying role as an it coordinator I checked google to fact check my thoughts on what she makes & according to indeed an it coordinator with her level of experience would be paid anywhere from 85 k to 100 k a year which is more than enough for a family of 4 living in the gaf.

He knew he had to do something about this!

I confronted her about this & she said that I was being unfair asking for the money I lent her & I had said that it was unfair of her to judge me & charge me rent with intention of paying her debt.

She wants my money from rent & has no intention to pay me back for the debt she owes me.

I’d let it go if it was a small amount with 895 euro is a lot of money that could be invested or saved for the future in a yield savings account instead of being owed to me with no proof other than memory.

He wants to deal with it professionally!

If she did what she did to a bank or a a credit union she would probably have to pay them or go to jail because they make contracts & get signatures when loaning me I was unlucky to not know to get proof when I lent this money to her.
