Are they broke? Are they joking? Did they have to payback their parents?
Tell them “I am not playing this juvenile game about money, I’m gonna enjoy my kids and your not welcomed in their lives because you live your life expecting to be paid back for providing for my childhood.”

Sad that they didn’t let you know long ago. I keep a leger but they know what they owe. I’ve never charged for needs or gifts. That is sad for sure.
Is this for real?!? THEY decided to have you, so you were THEIR responsibility. That is absolutely ridiculous. You don’t owe them anything. I could see maybe after you turned into an adult but your whole life? Even as a kid? No way!
This is my mother to a T! When she showed me my “bill” it was the last conversation we ever had. That was 10 years, 1 marriage, 3 kids and many many more HAPPY and INCREDIBLE moments ago. Needless to say toxic is toxic regardless of DNA.
Wow. That’s honestly terrible. You were a child still
Ur parents are asshats!
I’d tell them to fuck off and cut off contact. That’s nuts.
Meanwhile when I get change back from cash, my 2 year old says “ I want that money for my piggy bank”. In all seriousness, I hope you know your worth, and understand that that is not ok! Your parents have an obligation to take care of you, and I am so sorry that they are showing such a disregard for that!
You tell them to get stuffed.
Tell them to “Go f*ck themselves”.
Seriously? What are they going to do? Take you to court A judge will laugh them right out. Nothing to even worry about.
Is this serious?
If it is I would laugh in their face and tell them you decided to have kids welcome to parenting…
Tell her to take you to court!!! I would cut contact with them IMMEDIATELY AND GO NO CONTACT! Change phone numbers, block on social media, if I could move I would! I moved 8 hours away and went NC! Best decision of my life! If they take you to court a judge will laugh at them so don’t even pay it any attention!
Ask em for your permission to of been Conceived
I just need to know what type of childhood you had… We’re they good parents!!! Is this out of the norm for them, or is this who they are as people? This seems insane to me
That’s straight crap. They brought you in to the world and they have a responsibility to feed clothe and shelter you. Allowance is a do chores you get paid normally so I’m not sure how that would work in their tally system.Elaborate Gifts they chose to fix ( the car)even though you could have waited or gifts in general should not be listed because they are not needed or asked for- it’s really kind of mean. I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with your parents but if you could say something like are you doing this with everyone? Would you want me to do the same to you? Try to understand what makes them think that’s appropriate. I have never heard of anything so rude and mean. I don’t know what exactly they expect you to do. I’d say then don’t buy me or my family anything anymore.
Wtf lmao… Block block block… I’d ghost that family
I would not pay back something I never agreed to.
Are you serious who does this?Some crazy nut job!!! Really
You were your parents responsibility until you turned 18. It’s literally the law. Cut them out of your life. Show us a pic of the ledger.
Your parents are financially responsible for you untill you are 18 thats insaine!
I’m sorry I wouldn’t be paying them back. My mom helps us out a lot and never asks for money in return. I’m pretty sure any judge they get in front of (if they ever tried to take legal action) would laugh them out of the court house. If they can’t accept that they won’t be getting their money back, is cut them out of my life. Good luck!
You don’t owe them for supporting you as a child or gifts. Tell them sorry but no & end the relationship if you have to.
Well 12-18 they were legally responsible for so that’s thrown out and unless they told you they needed to be paid back those are gifts I would cut them out of your life and tell them to take you to court then
OMG…I can not even imagine keeping track…let alone actually asking for it back. Are they fucking kidding? Tell them to shove off!
Ask for an advance on their funeral arrangements and never ask for another dime.
Did you laugh at them???
Wow, great parent’s there. I would right them a note if you can’t face them and let them know it ain’t happening. Tell them anything before 18 or 21 if you went to college. Tell them the rest was all about them and never once implied it was a loan. Tell them you love them and are sick over this entire thing. Then the Ball’s in their court. I wouldn’t give them a dime otherwise it will look like you excepted their terms.
You have wicked parents. Keep a list at what you do for them
If this is real it seems like it would be based off of a fight that you recently had with your parents. I’ve had money fights with my parents too.
They can’t make you pay for everything since age 12. They were your legal guardian which makes them responsible.
Anything after the age of 18 could possibly go to small claims court but even then you have never signed a contract or it had never been brought to your attention that you would have to pay them back. Most judges would throw this case out.
Maybe you should give it a week or two and let the situation cool down. Cease contact and never write anything bad in a text/email.
Good luck!
Wtf? Who does that to their kid? Sorry but that is seriously f ed up!! When you have kid you will be spending money the life of the kid guarantee it. I would never do that to my only child she is 12 in fact I go without so that she can have the best or better than what I have. That is insanity. In high school I paid for half my clothing but only because I was raised by a single mom and a dad that never pay child support. And to start a ledger at 12 and present it to you as an adult is sick and selfish. Your parents need some mental help.
If you live with them it might be time to consider leaving. If you don’t, then I’d tell them where to get off. They had a responsibility as parents. That’s not something they can collect a check from. Even them taking it to court, a judge would tell them they had a financial obligation to support you until your 18th bday. I’m sorry they’re being that way with you. But they can’t force you to pay them for having you. That’s their problem
Wow better just to cut ties now cuz that is bs
This is shit kind of stuff. Laugh and shrug it off.
You don’t owe shit for them doing what parents should do. Get necessities and every now and then a gift if possible.
I get a joke but to keep an actual ledger? That’s insane.
Judge Judy would love this😂
Tell them to get bent. They were responsible til 18 yrs of age. And anything after they choose to do like many parents. Suck it up buttercup (them not you). It’s called being a parent
Absolutely not. Especially not anything before you were 18 which is their job to pay for your needs then or anything you did not ask for
Wow! I’m so sorry if this is happening to you! I would have them tally it all up and take them to court (Judge Judy for Sure) and see them be humility because as a child you owe them NOTHING! This is So Ridiculous I can’t even wrap my head around it! Stand your ground and know your worth girl! If they are serious walk away! Toxic relationships rather family or not are not worth your value or time!!
Wow go divorce your parent,
You do not owe them anything unless you asked to borrow money and said I will pay you back.
WTH! Do you have siblings? Who knows how many other family members or friends they’ve done this to.
Sick and wrong!
I wouldn’t pay SHIT. Until you are 18 it is legally their job to take care of you physically, emotionally and fucking financially. And tell them they can take you to court about it if they have an issue and than remember this and send their asses straight to a nursing home when they get too old
Omg girl tell them to take you to court, that’s shameful
Were the parents poor growing up that this concern over monies is so driving with them?
What the hell okay first off what kind of supposed parents do this shit second off you are their child and your children are their grandchildren I’d tell them to fuck all the way off and cut contact
You don’t owe them a cent!, tell them to pull their heads in as they only, as parents are meant to do, support you…
Tell them you don’t owe them any money
Not loving parents,you owe them nothing not even respect.
Parents of the year award
It’s a parents duty to raise, support, and take care of their children. Your parents should’ve enjoyed giving their child gifts for birthdays, Christmas, etc. To ask their child to pay THEM back for supporting YOU growing up, is in fact the dumbest thing I have ever heard of!! Now, I’m 29 and when I needed financial help as an adult, my parents were always there. Either I paid them back for what they spent, or I do them a favor and help them when they need it. It’s what decent human beings do. But to ask someone to pay back thousands of dollars because it was their job as parents to pay for and raise their children, is ludicrous. You never asked to be born! Not your fault they had sex and brought you into this world now they want you to pay them back??? Please, I would love to see what Judge Judy had to say! Sounds toxic to me!
Say nothing. Pay what you can afford and realise it’s best to leave. No regrets. Don’t look back.
That’s so messed up I could never do that to my kids
I would pay nothing to them tell them to F off … you were your parents responsibility until you turned 18. They can’t legally do anything either bcuz no judge is going to make you pay for a coat your parents needed to buy you as parents when you were 13 … Anything after you were 18 if they don’t have it in writing from you that you will pay them back there is nothing they can do. I would be outraged tell them no. Simple
That’s awful. Im so sorry!
Please tell me this is a joke
It was your parents responsibility to take care of you until you turned 18. If you didnt ask them to fix your car or buy your children things i would concider it a gift. Tell them to take you yo court if they want it. Any jugde with lauhh them right out the court room. You dont owe them anything
This is so ridiculous, you can’t make this shit up. Wtf is wrong with people
I could understand about the car, but you never asked them to fix the car. I spend plenty of money on my grandchildren and great grandchildren and never ask to get repaid, unless they ask me to borrow money.
Fuck them, tell them to get fuckd they chose to have you as there child TO RAISE AND SUPPORT.
What a kick in the teeth just wow, I have no words but that I am so sorry there peices of shit !!!
Cut your loses move on and dont look back !
Pssshhhhh! What are they going to do? I wouldn’t pay them anything. How tacky!
If they wanted to take u to court they would get laughed at. This same station I saw on judge Judy the other day lol
This makes no sense…devils advocate are you one to say “you’ve never done anything for me” on a regular basis, that this is a “see what all I’ve done” type deal. This just seems too bazaar to come out of no where with.
What parent even does that?! An actual running total in a book. I’m floored!
Tell them you dont owe them shit that’s so messed sorry you have parents who are clearly stupid to think you should have to pay anything back when u were a child
Just tell him okay, wait for it. And remind them I’m working on it. But of course you know you’re not going to pay anything back you don’t owe them anything you were their child have they lost their damn mind?
Did they ever have u sign a document? LENDERS? LOAN? etc.,??
My brother and I found our list of debts owed to my mother since we were like 12, we found this after she passed away. We had a bon fire!!
They took that to a whole other level of pettiness! I’d tell them to kiss my A$$!
NARCISSISTIC PARENTS! Get away from them asap!
This is insane! It is a parents responsibility to support their child, until the age of 18 at the MINIMUM! I just can’t even fathom any parent doing that, especially like fixing your car even though you were 18, you didn’t ask them to and they made it seem as like a birthday gift yet sneakily wrote down everything, I’m sorry but that is just very disturbing! Especially including things they’ve purchased for THEIR GRANDCHILDREN! honey, I am so sorry they’ve done this to you, however, you should feel no responsibility or obligation to pay them ANY of that money back! I definitely wouldn’t and honestly it seems like one or both of them have some type of mental illness, because of them doing this. A parent, in their right mind,would never do this! Sending prayers!
That’s just nuts. I would say go pound sand.
Tell them no, providing for you up until the age of 18 is THEIR JOB. Tell them to shove their ledger. It’s outrageous. Tell them you don’t owe them a thing and tell them they can take you to court, that kind of stuff will definitely not stand up in court. The judge would laugh in their faces. It’s so ridiculous.
Your parents are crazy!!! Tell them that’s nice. Sorry they waisted their time noting it all down!
Is that how we do it now??? Bout to go collect from my kids for the trip to Dollar tree we just got back from gonna go raid their piggy banks.
Unless you borrowed money from them you don’t owe them anything. Plus 12 to 18 they are responsible legally for clothing you and feeding you. Them fixing your car with out your knowledge and you agreeing to pay them back is a gift. Expecting you to pay back your allowence is rediculas if they didn’t want to pay you for doing your chores then they shouldnt have. Tell them to stop getting anything for you or your children.
This can’t be real. I’d slap the shit outta my parents🤦🤦🤦🤷🤷🤷🤷:joy: kidding, but Wtf. That’s some fucked up shit
What the F!!! Is this situation for real? Don’t pay them anything. If they bother your family then take this to the court.
Tell them u didnt ask to be born so it is their responsibility to raise u…excuse all that was added before you were 21. But u are 34 …
Take care of yourself
Not legally responsible for any funds they paid on your behalf. Any thing they bought for your kids, pack them up and put on their doorstep! Do not accept anything from them and literally cut them out of your life. When they don’t see grandkids their attitude might change? Block their calls. You didn’t ask to be born!! Remind them of that when you drop off everything they purchased for their grandchildren. This is beyond belief honestly!! Don’t feel ill take action to cut them out of your life!! I wonder what kind of love this is, I don’t recognize it.
Curious to know what prompted them bringing this list and expectation of repayment to your attention. Did you do something to offend them?
Also, do you have siblings, and if so, have your parents informed your siblings of similar ledgers and expectations?
They are probably trying to prove a point. Cut the cord and learn your lesson
Agreed with above. If they’re going to be this disgusting, it’s not unreasonable for you to demand an itemized receipt for their funeral and burial arrangements and take your alleged “owed balance” off of that. Allowance for chores is a working wage as an underage… needing a winter coat in winter is parenting. Don’t pay. Cut them out of your life because they’re TOXIC AS HELL. They have no legal grounds.
Well you laugh at the ridiculousness and move on with your life.
I would literally be like “you chose to have me, you can kiss that money goodbye. If you didnt want to pay for the kid YOU made, you should have kept it in your pants. And since you want to be so disgusting and selfish, please go eat a bag of dicks and forget that i or my children exist. I definitely dont want them traumatized when you pull out a ledger at my child’s graduation and have the balls to ask them to pay you back for evey toy and tshirt you gifted them.”
Then why did they have children? You’re always going to h help your child, BUT, when your child is obviously using you, the answer is no…
A winter coat from when you were 13??? Seriously??? That’s crazy. I get sometimes when you are an adult there may be times u need to borrow $ and pay it back but this is crazy. You never agreed to any of that and they are your parents … smh… I wouldn’t be paying them back for anything besides maybe the car.
Jaclyn Salgado read this
I feel like there could be two sides to this story
That’s completely insane. They had you it is their job to make sure you have clothes, food and a roof over your head till you are 18. How do they expect you to pay them for things you never asked for as an adult. Even if they tried to sue you this would never stand up in court. They claimed you on their taxes as a dependent while you where growing up. If they want to pull petty shit like that tell them you want the extra money they got for you every year from Uncle Sam. Bet they shut up then.
That’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard. You aren’t legally obligated to pay them a cent. Cut your ties with them, that’s crazy.
Ask them to produce any paper work where you agree to repay them and remind them you were a minor until age 18 and could not legally sign any contract or agreement
Cut them off. Change your number. This is inexcusable
those are complete assholes and it wouldn’t hold up
in court
They must be kidding and if there not let them look at these comments!
PARENTS HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING UNTIL LEGAL ADULT. WHICH IS 18!!
Now if u have a job i def agree u should pitch in for phone/insurance/gas. But other then that no way…
This sounds like a joke, thats how bad this is!!!
Count in THEYRE old years, if you expect to care for them as seniors, they’re health or funeral arrangements. Subtract it from what they expect you to pay back
Really how sad if they did.
Did you win the lottery?
Nope. You are their responsibility until you’re 18. Plain and simple
When they are old and need your help, tell them your to broke!!
I’d laugh in their faces and cut off all contact
Also suggest they go ahead and try to sue you so a judge can laugh at them too
