Could you just tell her you are having a really hard time right now, and ask her to consider paying you for your time? You could say that you are struggling so much, and you'd like to be able to keep being able to help her, but you won't be able to anymore because you'll have to take on another job or something.
If you're 22, and your mom has all kinds of money but is just using you as free labor then that's wrong. Just say, 'hey it would cost you 'x' to have someone come in here and do this work, can we at least work something out? I'm hurting here!'
Your mom's home is getting improved, which is money in her pocket (free labor AND increased value), and you're helping her get licensed and probably a better paying job, so again, more money for her....I'd say she should help you in some way at least.
I know a person just like this and they sicken me too. I KNOW for a fact they have over 6 figures in the bank, yet this person actually gets fucking food stamps, uses senior citizen discounts and is NOT a senior, not even close (they just look old enough so no one questions it), won't pay for anything and expects people to serve them, and takes every coupon, discount and freebie around even if they are doing it by illegal, or dishonest, means. That's not cool behavior, that's milking everyone and every system for all it's worth. That's disgusting.
My mom actually made me do illegal things for HER financial gain, and almost got me in HUGE trouble (she claimed MY kid on her tax return, ludicrous!!). At least your mom isn't that bad probably, but sometimes you have to draw a line, mom or not, or else some people will just use you up.
Well, I'm glad I have someone I can relate to, it makes me feel much better. I wasn't too specific in my description and I left out that my mom had previously given her word that she'd lend me the $3,000 and didn't follow through with it. It's my fault that I gave some of the users here the wrong idea. <BR><BR>I was thinking about asking my mom to give me compensation for helping her, but it honestly wouldn't make me feel good to ask her that. I'm just leaving whatever happened where it's it. I hate having this resentment towards my mom, but I can't shake this feeling. I really hate dishonesty, especially when somebody has given me their word and doesn't follow through with it. I just get tired of people misleading me. I just need people to be honest, even if it's not something I'd like to hear.
Hating your mom for not helping you buy a car, but you help her?
