Tell them to sue you and choose one of those televised court shows so we can all watch as those dramatic judges tell them how ridiculous they are.
You are their child. That stuff was 100% their responsibility. Wtf is wrong it’s people🤦🏼♀️
Is this a joke or is some “mom” really that crazy stupid narcissistic jerk??
Cut them out. They’re crazy and nasty. They took on the responsibility of parenthood & that is to support your children completely till they’re grown up and on their feet and you can help out in emergencies after that.
Well do the same thing, calculate evrything you soend on them since you started working and deduct it… its sounds crazy but they might realize how unreasonable it is.!
And I thought my parents hated my ass
Tell them to eat your ass
I’d tell em take me to court and see if a judge doesn’t laugh in their faces. That is fucking ridiculous. You were a child and it was literally their choice to have you. No. You don’t owe them a damn thing I’d cut them off and out of your life if i was you
That is very, very sick. Do not even acknowledge it.
agree with Tonya, do not talk to them about it! even better cut off all contact!!!
Tell them to go to Hell. Period.
Divorce the assholes !! They are very extremely cold hearted and cruel.And very unstable.
Wow, NEVER heard of such a thing!!! As a parent I am responsible to care for my babies. Clothing, food shelter & necessities. Would not want to be in your shoes. Very Harsh
I am sorry for you!
Ignore them and dare them to sue you for it. That’s just awful and I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with pettiness.
I would tell them that if they hate their child that much, they never should have had children. They can either forget this Ridiculousness and you can try to move past it, or you can cut off contact and then they won’t have a kid. If they take you to court, that would actually kind of be a abuse and neglect if they refuse to get those things. There is no contract, you didn’t sign anything agreeing to pay all of this back, they have no legal ground. Perhaps ask them if they’ve been to the doctor lately, you know, forehead check? Maybe it’s dementia, who knows
Tell them GO FUCK YOURSELVES. And call it a day🤷🏾♀️ don’t pay a dime back. They take you to court and a judge will laugh at them period. You’re good. Don’t even sweat it. Seriously. like if they stop talking to you over it then fine. Let them be great without you.
They can’t do that. Legally you were a dependant until 18. Its what parents have to do when r hey have children. Tell them to grow up!
I have never herd of anything like this before!!
It’s your parents responsibility right up until you’re 18 years old anything to cloth you and feed you Anything after 18 years old is a privilege, if they expected their money back they should’ve told you that then so you knew!!! And as for buying things for your children there grandchildren that’s disgusting I’m a new grandma and I buy things for them all the time I do it because I love them so much I do not expect anything back in return!!
I am hoping that this is a joke
W T F! There’s something wrong with them parents. If this is real
Um don’t pay it for one, they can’t take you to court or anything over it…
Is this a joke post!!?!
They need to be cut from your lives. The purpose of a parent is to be there for your child/ren!! You owe them nothing!
I think this is a load of shit.
Any court will turn the case away, don’t pay it. That’s absolute nonsense.
Tell them to sue. You never entered a contract, so good luck to them.
Surely this is a joke. Tell them good luck…
Let them know it’ll be you who decides their nursing home and elderly care. If they want to be like that
Please read this book. Mentally, there is something off with your parents, and I’m sorry you had to find out about it this way but I’m sure there were other signs but sometimes we overlook these things in the ones we love.
Legally they haven’t got a leg to stand in it was all “a gift”
This has got to be a joke! Any parent that asks that is a monster. But I can guess they were just trying to prove a point… kids are expensive
I would think any money you “borrowed” would have to be paid back but necessities as a child and gifts to your children are debt free.
I would not give them a dime!
My mother did this to me. Then she wrote the remainder off and said it was a gift. It totalled over $20,000 before she got rid of it at age of 21. I will never do this to my children and I should add I don’t have a good relationship with my mother today.
I would tell them to take me to court for it. That’s insane
Do yourself and your kids a favor and use this as an example of what NOT to do. We, as parents, are put hear to nurture, and care for our children. Lord knows I would be sunk a long time ago of not for my parents. As our children grow up to being adults, they will struggle. And it is our job to help them through the struggles. A hand up is way different then a hand out. Teach you children the value of a dollar. Teach them to work hard and do the very best they can at anything they do. And when life throws a mountain in their way that you have already climbed, be their safety line.
Stuff like this is exactly why I cut off communication with my birth mother. My son doesn’t ever need to see this kid of behavior within his own family. This is so very toxic. If they didn’t want to pay for their child they shouldn’t have had one. You do not owe you PARENTS a dime for raising you, it was literally their job!
They’re very sick…cut them off no contact from them…I understand this my Grandparents and my parents had a accounting Ledger… Red pen …and green if it was paid!!!
That’s what parenting is a lot of expense that usually not appreciated but expecting to be relayed is reddiculus
You never signed a contract. There’s no legal obligation for you to anything. As for the emotional cost of a relationship like this I would seriously consider cutting ties.
I kept thinking i was going to get to the end and it was going to be some kind of joke…i am sad for you
Their responsibility till you are of legal age.
Troy can you pick up three ledgers in the way home
None of us were asked to be brought into this world. If you cannot afford your children then give them up for adoption. But my mother did this to me after I lived with her for a few months after my divorce. She told me I could stay as long as I needed to & didn’t have to pay anything. I did buy my own groceries, toiletries, cleaned up after myself & child. Then she got mad at me when I bought a house & moved out, told me I owed her $1500 for electricity, food, etc.
Go see Judge Judy. You’ll win.
There has to be more to this story
Is it possible that the dementia has caused some of this? A lot of elderly become extremely cheap(for lack of a better word). And if they are going into a retirement home perhaps the costs are causing them to freak. This is definitely dysfunctional behaviour;(
Your family is responsible for you and buying your things until you are 18 years old anyway. Until you become a legal adult. I wouldn’t pay it is mostly their responsibility for you as your parent/ guardian.
They are mad or bad or both. Do not let them upset you.
Tell them to get fucked and don’t stress cause its bad for your body x
Go hangout with someone nice and forget about them
Courts wpuldnt make that happen
Nor would your kids shame you down the rode. Toxicness is ok to let go
I did start having to pay my own way at 15
Including gas to amd from work etc
Clothes. But mine weren’t like that, that is beyond. Cut your losses babygirl am go.
Make yourself a limited company, transfer the debt to the company and then cease trading!
Tell your parents to buy a hamster. Clearly aren’t able to be fit parents.
Your parents might be suffering from dementia.
Parents are legally required to care for, pay and provide for their minor children! Tell them you’ll see them in court.
I’m wondering if they are narcissists? They really do sound like it. With you being the scapegoat. You should join the few narcissist groups on fb and check out their stories. Some may be very similar to your life.
I cant believe parents do this! Id be pissed they want the money back they spent on their grandchildren too. Cut them out!
I would just laugh and walk away. Up until you were 18 it is their responsibility to take care of you. As for the rest idk. But i still would just laugh and walk away
Technically you don’t have to pay them from the age of 12 to however long you were in high school as it was their job to take care of you. Second you don’t have to pay them for what you didn’t ask for. Third say hey I’m your daughter I don’t have to pay you back for shit as I didn’t ask to be born it was your guys decision
If you are that self sufficient at 12… you wont need them for very long… they obiously dont want you anyway!
This is extremely sick, my parents weren’t great parents and I grew up feeling alienated and moved out of home at 15 but your parents are a joke and I just don’t have words for this situation but I wouldn’t call them parents or grand parents either, I love buying things for my now grown children and my grandchildren
What I’d do is simply don’t pay them back. What’re they gonna do other than be angry? It’s not like they can take any legal action for everything they bought you up until you turned 18, anyways. They could for the rest, but if they do, it shouldn’t go anywhere! I’d be like “Sayonara! Let me know when y’all aren’t going to be impractical and inconsiderate parents.”
If you are happy, debt repaid
