I just found out that my parents have kept a running total of everything I owe them since I was 12 and got my first job. For example, a $60 coat when I was 13 cause it was winter and snowy, and I didn’t have one. Allowances throughout my teen years ($10 a week for years, I thought I was earning by doing chores). When I was 18 my car broke down, I had parked it until I could get it fixed, they fixed it and kept it secret until they gave me the keys on my birthday and said surprised it’s fixed (over $2,000 to fix it). The clothing they purchased for my children without me asking (my kids had clothing, they just thought it would be cute), literally everything they spent money on me since I was 12. Well, I’m bothered because I found out they expect me to pay them back. Thousands of dollars since I was 12. Most things I never asked for, other things I needed as a child. I don’t know what to do, and I feel sick about it. My mom showed me the ledger; it started in 1998 and is apparently still going. How do I deal with this? Its 22 years worth of what I thought was gifts, it’s so much money. I feel physically Ill over it.
They need a fkn brain scan wtf
Tell them to piss right off
Haha tell them to take you to court. They’re out of their damn minds
Unless they have proof you agreed to pay them back they are kinda sol
No offense to your parents but that is literally the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of in my life. Like what in the actual hell.
That sounds crazy! You don’t owe them anything!
Why did they even have a child. They sound monstrous.
I think they’re crazy.
Nope sorry youbwere a minor and their responsibility. This is the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. Id tell them if they would like their money then they better contact a lawyer and you’ll do the same…
Tell em to f*** off.
Throw the whole family away 
Uhm wtf they are your parents basic things like clothes are a given and the rest if those things sound like gifts they chose to give you.
I wouldn’t pay it back. Especially things you were given as a child or didn’t ask for. I mean really? Who does that? Not that it would go as far as court but if it did they wouldn’t win and would be looked at like they were ridiculous!
Legally they’re responsible for you til you’re 18. Sorry your parents did this to you. I honestly don’t know what to tell you.
I’ll take bullshit on the internet for 500, alex…
You don’t owe them nothing.
Wtf is all I have to
Say
Absolutely not. Unless it’s an agreed upon loan there is no way I would even consider it. Anything I still had that is on the list would be returned immediately and I would never accept anything from them again. I’m sorry but that is just asinine.
tell them to pound sand. you were their responsibility until you were 18 (at least). after that, unless it was understood at the time that you would pay them back, you’re not on the hook. gifts for their grandkids? f that.
Anything before 18 you dont have to pay. They’re responsible for you
No way…I’m thinking maybe they want an okay. " I will pay you…that is. when your older and need me i be there ," That’s my pay back.
Geez nice parents !!! Tell them to keep the tally going and to take it out of your inheritance
I have 5 kids and your parents are fucking insane. They are legally responsible for you till you are 18 aaaaand it’s their freaking job to take care of you. Insane
That’s disgusting, they chose to be parents I would never do this to my child it’s beyond disgusting actually you poor thing
Doint pay it it was wen you were a baby / child / teen they are the ones that hand you so you should not have to pay anything to them I woint if I was you
You can tell them to go to hell and then cut them out of your life. That’s way beyond toxic. You don’t need that. Do not give them a dime.
Wtf 
they sound crazy af
Tell them good luck getting their money back and laugh in their face
Your parents are NUTS!
Cut them off. You owe them nothing.
Kyra Van Anda Elizabeth Waldo Asia Ferneding
Say FU and laugh, how are they gonna make you pay it? I’m sure there is no legal grounds
Ur parents r dumb sorry they have 2 tale care of u til 18 and so yea if theres nothing after with a contract there sol
This can’t be real… Pics of the list or its fake news. 
Tell them no. They were gifts and you never agreed to repayment. It’s crazy
I’d use the phrase “piss off”…
Laugh & keep living lol
Tell them to keep their $$
Go ahead and schedule them a session with the quack doc. You didn’t ask to be born. They made the choice to become parents. 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 have they ingested any lead paint or maybe been huffing gas?
Thats ridiculous! It would be different like the incident with the car if they said you can borrow money. Cant charge somebody for something unless they agree to it.
You do nothing. How horrible for you. Your parents were responsible for you until you were 18. Shame on them
Wow. That is so bizarre! I can understand if you were OVER THE AGE of 18, or if it was for a car (my parents bought my first car and I made payments to them). But to start keeping track of things when you were 12? So odd. Like no offense to your parents but they are very out of line asking something like that of you. Unless it was agreed upon in advance.
You dont owe your parents shit. Thats their job as parents to provide for you. Its not your fault. This sounds very toxic i say break ties with them IMMEDIATELY!
Wow. They are toxic. Cut them out of your life. I have five children and I will never never ever dare take money from them.
Tell them to take you to court or file bankruptcy cause a judge will laugh in their face and say welcome to parenthood and raising a child
Tell them to f off and keep your money.
Let them take you to court. You were a baby… that’s THEIR responsibility until you’re 18 and without an agreement that you were to pay them back, there’s no leg for them to stand on. Wtf is with your parents?
This is toxic as fuck. Don’t take another thing from them including gifts from them for your kids. Not if they are going to expect that. Just tell them nope.
Wow some boundaries, I am sorry. but tell them no more presents and you can’t afford it. with out telling you ahead of time it will not work. Maybe see if they are struggling and offer assistance but that this is not ok and will put a wedge between you and them that you may not ever come back from.
I would ask her for the ledger and then Burn it!!!
How dare they!!! DO NOT PAY ONCE SINGLE DIME!
I’m sorry, you must feel so awful but if they can do that they dont deserve your love.
You dont owe them a dime… 
them outta your life they be to toxic for you
… ummmm what the shit?! You were/are their child. You HELP your children. You had them to take care of them.
You don’t owe them a thing. Period.
Are we serious?!
What?!
No.
Who needs parents like that! Be done with them I say
I can’t even with this
Tell them to take you to civil court & you’ll go from there. The judge is gonna tip them a new asshole so you don’t have too. And being that you didn’t know they had your car fixed and there was no prior conversation about repayment, it’s considered a gift.
As parents of a child under 18 they are responsible for clothing, housing those kind of things. That’s ridiculous. I have no words for that 
As long as you are going to school college university whatever. Ur parents are responsible
They are legally and financially responsible for you until you’re 18…
They can suck it…
Call and ask a lawyer… most will give you a few minutes free over phone. .
I’m sure they’ll get a good laugh in the process.
Call a few, in case you got an ambulance chaser though
Mostly I’d send a text stating you were under the impression theyb were doing their parental duty/giving gifts. . That you’ve NEVER known they would ever expect compensation and NEVER agreed to reimbursement. .
NEVER lost the text. . Ss it, email it to yourself, print it, whatever. .
Then cut ties, they obviously don’t wanna be your parents anyway. . They want to be loan sharks… tell them to have a nice life and to never seek you out again…
Hugs!
Tell them never to purchase anything again! That’s just sad. Toxic
They chose to have you… that’s their responsibility. that’s not a real parent. No parent would ever keep track of that nonsense. I’m so sorry you’re going through this
that’s what you do.
This has to be one of the craziest things I have heard. You owe them nothing. Cut them off if they insist you pay.
Tell them “Bye, Felicia” and mean it because their little “ledger” doesn’t mean shit and that much pettyness cannot equate to love.
Legally you are not obligated to pay them back anything. It’s terrible that your parents are billing you for being PARENTS.
Nahh, I’d write them off. Not much of “parents”.
Tell them to take you to court, a parents job is to provide for their child until 18/19
I’m so sorry you are going through this, your parents are toxic. Cut them off
Well til u r 18 they r ur parents and they r suppose to help provide for u so u owe nothing as an adult that’s up to us whether u have borrowed money etc but as for the kids how could they expect u to repay gift wth I wouldnt worry about it and if they would try court since they seem that way it would never hold up
“How do I deal with this?”
Uh…laugh at them?
This is so incredibly ridiculous.
What are you sick over? That list wouldn’t even stand in court LOL.
See you in court. That’s all you gotta say.
Tell them they going in a home…
What in the actual fuuuuuuuuuck 
I’m convinced that 80% of these posts/questions are completely made up!! Because…wtf?! 
Tell them you’ll use the money to pay their copay for their mental health evaluation and brain scan because they’re clearly dilusional
Also if they wanted to be paid back for things when u we’re older they should have said something, it’s not like you can read their mind
I hope this is a joke. Tell them to take you to court. They have nothing to stand on.
Tell them to go to hell. Not kidding.
Tell them to get over it. You didn’t ask to be born
Lmfao a judge would have their ass! Dont worry youarenot responsible for it
This sounds fake… even if it’s not fake, you wouldn’t need to ask what to do. Seems like an attention seeking post. Admin, c’mon man 
I am so sorry that they are doing this to you; you don’t “owe” them anything!! I think you should put some time and distance between you and them!!
I feel very sorry for you, your parents are psychopaths. Your children don’t need to be around them! If i were you, I’d force them to take me to court and have a judge laugh in their faces.
Wow tell them your going to commit them because they have seriously lost it and that they can kiss your ass. Also to please never buy you are your children anything ever again.
You really can’t be serious lol. Don’t pay them
I’m curious…what’s the total?
This can’t be serious. My mom was a single mom and did it all on her own and has never asked me for a single dime
This has to be a joke 
Wtf? I am so sorry that your “parents” are treating you like you were a fucking broke roommate from the age of 12!!! This is a tragedy! What a strain on a relationship 
I would refuse to pay, and tell them they need counseling and stop contact. They are toxic and no good for you and your children! That’s so messed up
Sounds like it’s time to part ways and move on in life. She laid down and decided to have you. You didn’t ask to be born. She shouldn’t expect you to pay shit back from 12 to age 18. I’d nicely decline ( not sure if I could even do it nicely lol) but I sure as hell wouldn’t give them a dime. Part ways and move on. Is all you can do. So sorry.
Nah fam. Dont worry they won’t have a leg to stand on if they take you to court. They made the decision to have sex and make you… and it was their responsibility to provide for everything you needed until you became an adult
No way…legally after 18… No good parents.
Honey, no. You don’t pay them Jack diddly squat. 
Forget that. They can mad over it all they want. Just no.
That would never stand in a court of law. But I would definitely be staying the hell awAy from them. They’re clearly suffering from chronic delusion.
Legally they can’t charge you for anything below 18 lol but even after that, if they ever claimed you as a dependent on taxes, they already got paid for that
Now that’s funny shit wish I had done the same.
Why would you feel ill over what’s completely absurd? You don’t get paid to do what you’re sposed to do and that’s look after your children after you’ve brought em into the world. Tell em the gift of you being born when you didn’t ask to be here cancels all that shit out😎
Dont pay nothing they were responsible for u
Don’t pay it back. Not like you made a contract.
Omg. What kind of parents would do this???
Omg they created you. They are responsible you. I would disown them and not let your children see them.
Arielle Owens? This cant be real.
