Is my mom using me?

[Anonymous 1]

She didn't have to let you move in nor allow you to continue living there.

In fact, were I your Mom and unless your attitude about this arrangement changed, I would be giving you a month to clear out.

Be grateful and grow up.

I look at it that she is using me. It's not my fault she is having a bad pain day. I should be able to live my life too.

Is this real? You live there, so you're obligated to help out by cleaning your space and helping clean the communal spaces. You use up food, utilities, etc so regardless of how much you "help out" you should still pay something. You're acting like a spoiled child.

I am an functional adult. Not even close to a child.

I feel like the last few weeks she is using and abusing me

Sounds like a you problem. You live there, so you need to clean up too and pay something to offset what you use in utilities. And unless your mom was abusive as shit, requiring a little extra help while she recovers isn't her using and abusing you.

If you think this is oh so terrible, move out and get your own place.

I shouldn't have to pay plus help out. I'm sorry she needed surgery but she should of made plans.

I got divorced 2 yrs ago and moved in with my mom. My son who is now 4 lives with us. My charged me $50 a week. I think that is high but whatever. She usually work full time day shift. I work part time in the evenings. She usually helps with my son. She had surgery 3 weeks ago and has been unable tobhelp with my son. She also told me she would need my help around the house. She precooked meals but would need help with other stuff. I have been trying to help but it's been rough.
Last night my son was with his dad. So for the first time in a few weeks I got to go out. My mom was having a bad pain day and asked me to stay to help her. I declined. I am sorry but not really. I need a break too. I need to drink. Well after a few hours I got a call from my aunt that my mom wasn't doing good and needed help. Believe me I didn't want to hear it. My brother who lives 2 hrs away went to my mom along with aunt. So she was covered. I decided to get a hotel room so that I didn't have to deal with everything.

So here Inam with 30 mins left enjoying room service.

My mom is begging me for the money I owe. But I feel since I am doing all the work I shouldn't have to pay.

Is my mom using me?

Yes, she's totally using you. I think you should take your $50 a week, and go find somewhere else to live.

You're either clearly a selfish, self-centered little girl....adult age or not...or you're a troll.

3/10 for the try.

So you think it's either pay a rent and not clean up around the home or help clean and not pay a dime? That's not how it works, sweet cheeks. Your mother is letting you and your child live with her. The least you can do is pay a little rent and clean up.

As for helping your mother during her recovery...why should she make plans for help when you F***ing live there with her?

I'm sure this is the same bad trolll but I'll play.

You think $200 a month in rent and nothing else is enough!? You don't pay bills or for child care. Why do you NEED to drink? What you need is an AA meeting and to get out on your own. Maybe let you son stay with his father until you can get a better job and get out on your own.

You write like kookoo.

I’ll pretend I think this is real. You should have planned to house yourself and your child. You aren’t paying, $200 a month is not rent. If you can afford a hotel and room service and going out drinking, you can afford to pay your mom more for helping you and letting you live in her home.

[Anonymous 5]

So you've been paying $200 a month to your mom for rent and childcare and now that your mom is unable to care for your child, you think you should pay nothing? And you owe her back rent?

Why would even remotely think this is okay?

At any time you are free to move out on your own and enable your mother to get a renter who would actually pay the rent!

[Valentina327]

You should be voluntarily helping out, because you live there practically for free and she's raising your child. I think your mother should raise that pittance of rent she's charging you.
