When I was a young boy, I was not touched but...Follow

I'm going to start venting my frustration with my mom as a weekly thread, if you don't like it well, then maybe you have pent up mommy issues too and you want to share with the class.

One time I lent my mom 85 dollars, and she didn't pay me back for 2-3 weeks. I said Ben "You're only going to ask for the money back once" so I ask her and she says "Yes, I'll pay you back tomorrow" so I happily wait for the next day when my mommy will finally pay me back...

I come home from work after getting odd message from my dad "Hey, you're going to lol when you find out that your mom paid you back" so I get home and he hands me some letter of "sorry" things like that. So I pull it out, and it's none other than a savings bond in my name! Now this is the funniest part, my grandparents saved money for Nlod, my cousins, and me. Well both my cousins got money and me and Nlod both have yet to get even a hint of getting any money, and my mom also denies the existence of ANY money what so ever. So in the end I have no savings for college, which is why I haven’t really started yet, and my mom had a single savings bond in my name, which she couldn’t cash.

This explains a lot.

Here is a adder, she tried to cash one of Nlod's that she gave him to pay off some debit card fees. Her name was all scribbled out on the back

Because I live with him? He asks for almost no rent? And even I'd much rather have my mom not pay me back than hear about how she's going to pay me back next paycheck.

I sold my clarinet for $50 for bus fare to get to college.

I understand that this might slow down your postcount++ a bit, but you could try being motivated enough to find a job that helps you with college costs. Plenty of employers will do it, a good chunk of them will pay 100% if you get good grades.

I'm also getting a knock off because I'm getting registered with my Native American tribe and I might also be getting a money, medical, and college help for the rest of my life.

Lubriderms idea is good, but when I start classes I can pretty much do all my reading/reseach at work. Since the week days are pretty filled up as is, I can also change my schedule freely for school.


Edit: Nexa it is appreciated because I need to get some insight from a outside source, or someone that's not exactly in the situation. To be honest I think she holds it back for 1 of 2 reasons 1) If she gives it to me, she'd have to give it to Nlod. 2) Did I mention my dad owes her 20,000$?

I imagine it must be comforting, at least, to blame others instead of holding one's self accountable.

When you play the game long enough, it won't work on everyone BT. Hanging out with those ******'s on skype have made you a boring troll.

Not even trying to troll. You can only pass the buck so far before it falls back into your ample lap, especially in a situation like yours.

Sooner or later you need to admit to yourself that you're the only one holding you back.

Well my grandparents always told me and Nlod, that they saved a dollar for everyday since birth. They always put money into savings bonds, which is what they also told my dad, and what they also put most of their savings into. Both my Cousins received there money via Savings Bonds. Let me also clear something up, my Grandmother was a teacher and my Grandfather was in the Army for much of there life so they retired fairly early, they where depression children so they never bought anything that wasn't needed and saved like squirrels. Then they died they left roughly 1.7 million to my mom and my moms sister. So this is minor savings for the grand children.

My mom and my dad are on fairly good terms, but since she blew basically every dime she had that she got from my grandparents it's been getting a little tense when money issues come around.

Oh and BT she currently owes me 150$ which I haven't brought up since she finally got a decent job.
