Oh hon, that really sucks. My mum always said neither a borrower or a lender be - I think she has a point!

Your mum is a clever lady!

I think now I know why they say you shouldn't lend money to family.. :o(

It's really unfair as my mum is making me feel guilty; that I'm the baddie. The money I got is because I can't work and as soon as I told her I got it, she came knocking. I sometimes feel as if I'm the parent and she's the child - am I supposed to keep helping her out?..

I really appreciate you 'friending' me here hon and reading my posts! Good to have an outlet! :D

No probs doll. Parents are supposed to be able to manage in their own and not ask kids for cash. I could never imagine asking my 15 yr old for cash later on in life. Apart from board if she stays post 18. It's just not right. So what if you got cash, you got it for a valid reason which is to help you support yourself and your family not your mum. I think a bit of tough love is in order where you state, once she's paid back this loan, is that you're not prepared to loan her money again. Tell her that it isn't because you don't want to help her but that you don't want to resent her if she can't repay as promised. Tell her your relationship is worth more than that. I'm so sorry she's making you feel bad but you are clearly not in the wrong and have been more than generous to a fault. Vent away hon x
