Fuck them those people arenot parents ( you didnt choose to be born they chose to have sex and have a child ) they can take that ledger and shove it where the sun dont shine
I wouldn’t call them parents! This was their job to care, clothe and support you until you were out of school and on your own. If you didn’t ask them to buy for your children they are gifts, you owe them nothing. Plus, if they were this cruel at the age of 12, they should have told you back then they were going to charge you for everything. Like I said, I wouldn’t consider these money hungry people as parents. I’d never do this to my child.

Belive me I can understand what you’re talking about. But I have the reverse problem. First off I’m on disability with a fixed income , my daughter who is now 42 for years have been borrowing money promising to pay me back. She seems to think she can make her bills as a waitress. This is impossible. I’ve tried to get her to get a 40 hour job but she don’t. I never know if she’s being truth full or lying to my face. I’ve gave her money that I needed and she never once have paid me back. My belief is when you borrow you pay back. Also she’s on snort (opioid). So does she really need money for bills ?
Girl, just let em try to take you to court for some shit like that. A judge will laugh in their ignorant faces.
They cant do that…lol…and i may think about not having those parents in my life if they are asking for this
You must have been a pain in the butt because only pains in the butt are required to pay back for being a pain in the butt.

Haha, that’s all considered gifts. If they want you to pay it have them take you to court and the judge will laugh in their face and kick them out for wasting their time. When you were a child, that was them taking care of you like parents are supposed to do. After that, without any agreement signed by you to “pay them back”, then it’s considered a gift. You may want to drop them from your life if this is real. Because that’s garbage of them to do.

I’ve seen people suing their parents for the price of life.

My Gosh! Basically, they were supposed to nurture and feed you. Then, when they get old and sick, you help them. What if they had 2 or 3 other kids? They should have put money away for later on. You must feel like a bank loan! Did they want to impress you wit

I think your parents are selfish people …you have children you support them until the move or get a job…and as for grandchildren are you kidding me they want money back for gifts…wow…
With how much you cost them? I wld ask them what the purpose was and if they are serious. With a straight face as much as possible, tell them that if you knew everything was being given as a bank loan, they should have told you at 12. Look at what they have given you at legal adult age, say that unfortunately there is no legal requirement to pay back the loan until 18 and after. You will be happy to repay when they need financial help with 10% of what you owe monthly. My guess is they were trying to tell you reality expenses but really flub bed it. Either way, find out if they were serious. Good luck
Id pay them back for fixing your car. But not for the things they got for you as a child thats crazy! They are financially responsible for you until you turn 18. If they are serious about it tell her to take you to court see her case get thrown out and laughed at by a judge

What??? Good luck to them. As parents that is part of their responsibility to take care of their child. Anything they do now for you or your child without you asking for help is on them. This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.
You are not a slave. If you didn’t sign a note and even if you did you were UnderAge. Let them go ! They can’t use you or your children this way.
If they have money and you are expecting an inheritance from them Forget It! Nothing is free and your time is better spent making your own way!
I’m so sorry sweetie. No parent (let alone both) should ever do this to their child. Make sure you dont carry this with you emotionally. Laugh it off and tell them “shame on you both”. Then get on with your life.

Up until you turned 18 they were legally responsible to give you food, clothing and shelter.
Tell them that they never specified that anything bought/gifted to you had been described as a loan and they can get stuffed.
They have no proof it wasn’t a gift and as long as you didn’t sign an open ended form stating you’d pay them, you’re fine.
They can try to take you to court but they’ll give laughed out. I mean, it is their obligation, as your parents to provide you with the basic necessities of life until you are old enough to provide for yourself.
Anything bought for your kids is a gift. You didn’t ask for it. They just did it. They then can’t turn around and say, “well you now have to pay me $x.xx because I bought your kid clothes”…well they can say it but they can’t enforce it

Sucks it’s happening to you, but if you want to be smart about it tell them that there was no agreement in place which makes that invoice null. You don’t owe them anything unless you agreed to pay them.

First of all, up until your 18th birthday, those were things that you needed and that bill is on them. Not you. Second. After that if there was no agreement for you to pay it back then you dont owe them crap. However… now that you know about this little ledger, dont accept ANYTHING from them. Not even birthday presents for your kids. If they are going to be like that then you would probably be better off away from them.

Your feelings of being overwhelmed are the result of THEIR expectations, not your own. (and I might add, your response speaks volumes to the level of psychological abuse they have already inflicted upon you, for you to even be questioning this.) It is not reasonable or legal to expect a CHILD to pay back the money that an ADULT has VOLUNTARILY spent on said child’s welfare. That is legally what is required of the parent up to age 18. As far as the “gifts” are concerned, things that you have not asked for, entered into an agreement to compensate for, etc… are not under YOUR umbrella of responsibility. This is simply a manipulative passive-aggressive attempt to put you in a position of insecurity to make themselves feel powerful (and heaven forbid you should actually make ANY gesture to acknowledge or comply with their demands, you would be playing right into their need to control you.) DON’T DO IT! My suggestion, just to exorcise these particular demons from your psyche, is to calmly sit down and make a list of every birthday, anniversary, and holiday present you can remember giving them - even as a kid - no matter what the dollar value (include accompanying cards, wrapping paper, tape, etc.) and then account for the meals purchased out and those cooked and shared in your home. I would include any bills for counseling you have incurred as a result of this and their treatment of you from childhood until now. (THAT, they might actually be liable for since it was the result of their actions, and therefore their responsibility to make restitution.) This is not for the purpose of a countersuit, but to have a tangible record, for yourself, of how much YOU too have contributed to THEIR standard of living. Even the time spent on making a card as a kid, drawing a picture, macaroni necklaces, etc. have worth in terms of the rental space in your heart and head. It doesn’t matter if yours doesn’t equal theirs. The point is that you are worthy of unconditional love and support, and for them to put a petty price tag on your existence, is both childish and selfish. Neither behavior is worth anger, anxiety, or any real estate in your mind. YOUR list is tangible evidence, proof of your worthiness. Something to remind you, that you can see. I wish you a sense of peace and lightness, when you are finally able to feel as though the burden and weight of their cruelty and manipulation is truly behind you.
