That’s fucked up. They didn’t even tell you you were racking up a bill…
Sorry you owe them nothing they are your guardian until you turn eighteen and you didnt ask them for a loan this would be laughed out of court so ignore them they need to grow up and take responsability and tell them to never buy anything again

I’m pretty sure that as your parents, they were legally obligated to provide for you and if they were to sue you for that some of money the judge would probably laugh in their faces. Dont stress over it. Move on and let them come to terms with not having a paycheck for a child.

Hahaha not really family then is she. Fuck it. Forget them and move on.
They are pieces of shit for doing this
WHAT IN THE WORLD? Did you ask to be born…no you did not … you were ‘their’ responsibility until you were 18 … and gifts are just that ‘GIFTS’ … I would tell them that you cannot charge someone charges when they are not aware they are being charged

That’s when you hit them back by asking back for all the money you’ve ever had to spend in your life. You didn’t ask to be born.
But seriously, they want to play shit games they can win shit prizes. 
You don’t owe them anything that’s just petty like are you supposed to pay for the hospital bill from when you were born too?? Geez people

12?! 18 maybe…12 is crazy.
Don’t pay them either , I did my dad and now he comes and ask me for money, and he said I owed him a lot like over $10,000 dollars and he cost me two vehicles so get away as quickly as possible and it’s going to make you ill but remember it is for the best 
Keep your head up and stay strong get a small group of people to lean on and forget them you will see that life will be better.

- You didn’t ask to be born.
- State says they are responsible for you until 18.
It was their choice of food, clothing and activities.
Everything they bought for you is considered theirs ,So… just leave everything and you owe them nothing.

Wth? First of all… you were definitely their responsibility until you were 18… I mean who tries to get their child to pay them back for this stuff? And after 18… if it was gifts, it was gifts. Unless you told them you would pay them back at the time. Wow… this is some crazy shit. I definitely would not take anything else from them. Nothing, not even a birthday gift. I’m flabbergasted by this!
What the hell?? Cut them off. That’s messed up

Honey at 12 they were 100% liable for you. They were a 100% liable for you up until you were 18 and anything beyond that UNLESS you agreed to pay it back and they have proof of it will not hold up in court. I’m sorry they are like that cutt your losses and distance yourself.

I mean, my mom keeps a ledger of what i owe her, but its legit just borrowed money and then as i have the money i just ask her what my bill is. as long as i pay it back, the hand is there for me, but… from 12 years old… thats a little ridiculous.

Wait. What!? This is crazy. They can expect you to pay them back all they want but that’s all that is. Expectations. Don’t worry about it. Worse case scenario they sue you. I seriously doubt that’s going to happen though. But who knows… they have kept a tab on your expenses since the 90’s.

If this is serious… your parents are toxic. It is your job as a parent to protect your children from toxic ppl. Lastly, I would say “you REALLY want to go there? Because I’m the one who will choose your nursing home”. Then laugh and walk away.
as your parents, that’s their job to provide you with the things you need. if they were going to charge you, they shouldn’t of had a kid to begin with. i’d laugh in their face then ghost them🤷♀️
That hashtag should say #notfamily because family doesn’t that to their child. Parents are financially responsible for their children until they become adults (age 18). I would tell them to take you to court! Are they running a tab for their grandchildren too???

Look the way I see it, is if they took you to court and tried to sue you for the money, they’d be rejected as #1 when you were still considered a dependent they were providing their child with required items (if they didn’t provide these things it would have become a CPS matter), #2 when you become independent for them they purchased you items as GIFTS and #3 there was no prior agreement (either written or verbal) that you would pay them back…
this is all super strange to me and to be honest sounds like they’re having financial difficulties and this is their quick fix option. I’d tell them you can’t afford to and cut them out of your life…

Talk to a lawyer and see if this legal I hope not . Your parents did this most was there responsibility to take care of you under the age of 18 or 21 . Please keep a open line of communication but arm distance from them.
Pay nothing. Cut ties. They need therapy. Or Judge Judy. Or both.

First of all anything before 18 is their obligation as parents. Anything they gave to you without a written contract after 18 stating for you to pay them back you do not have to pay back. A judge would look at them like they’re crazy. Flat out tell them no. Tell them they can take you to court. Nothing is gonna happen to you.

Legally you dont owe them any money. They gifted you all that (after 18) there was no verbal or written obligation for you pay them back or that it was a loan.
If they are serious about this I’m sorry, that really hurts. I dont know how it feels to that extent but I kinda know. My mom bought my daughter a $10 stuffed unicorn and then after we were leaving the store she told me I could pay her back for it when I got paid. Which if I had know it wasnt a gift from her I would have just asked her to put it back and bought it another time when money wasnt so tight for me.

Legally they cannot make you pay them back. regardless of what they say they are your parents and the things they got you are things they’re supposed to get you because it’s their job to take care of you until 18.
What the actual hell… I’m sorry but your parents sound horrible… You don’t charge your child for the basic things they need to grow up, and if the chose fo do something for you as a surprise or for your children then they have absolutely no right to ask you to pay for it. I would honestly tell them you aren’t paying for it and if they have a problem then they can hit the road. Lord forbid they try and do that to your children as well… Smh

They are responsible for you until you are 18 I believe but depends on your state. Do you live with them ? Move than tell them if they want reimbursed to see an attorney. You’ll don’t owe shit if it was given as a gift.
If they take you to court…a judge would probably dismiss. You can’t take a case over two year old to court. So they could only take the gifts they have given over the past two years. Any sane court, would say gifts and dismiss.

I would tell them exactly where to shove that ledger and dramatically distance myself. My kids will never owe me for gifts, only thing that go “if I fix/buy/do this, you’ll have to pay it back”. My grandma did that to my mom and even charged her 13 an hour to watch me when I was there for summer (the requested me) and such. Mom distanced herself and my grandma dropped the ledger. They are pretty close now.

Tell them no and walk away. And if they want to go to court tell them go ahead. Stuff they bought you as a child, is their duty as a parent to provide. Allownace is stuff you warned as a child for chores. Things you did not know about or have any written agreements to are considered gifts and were gifts. So ecen legally. You do not owe them.

My mother did this to my sister. Sent a letter with a bill attached for everything since graduation…her wedding, a table they gave her, gifts etc. We laughed about it. No judge is going to make you pay for a coat you got at 12. Actually they can’t she for anything over a certain number of years. There are statutes of limitations so there’s that. I know in Maine it’s 3 years.

HECK NO! No way nooo way that is messed up!! I wouldn’t give them a dime or accept ANYTHING from them ever again! Things THEY CHOOSE to GIVE or do for you and things you NEEDED as a child are not things they can charge you for later especially without you knowing, what is wrong with them!?

And if they still give you a hard time cut them off even if they are your parents I know that’s easier said than done but I have honestly never heard of anything like this

Fuck no. I’d cut them out of my life in a heartbeat if they want to pull this shit. Under 18 they’re required to to provide for you, and gifts are gifts. If they wanted you to pay them back for your car and shit then they should have talked to you BEFORE and been like, “hey we’ll get it fixed so you can drive it and just pay us back when you can”. If they’re that pressed they can take it to court and the judge can tell them what shit people they are.
