This post disgusts me, not by you but by your parents. Not all family is blood. Remember that. You are a sweet, sweet woman sharing this :heart:

Tell them they must be joking, it’s all part of being a good parent. Then distance them from your life until they realise what they could lose, this is way bigger then money. Pgeople are precious especially our children. I am a mother of 4 amazing kids and I find what your parents are doing is disgusting. I am also a grandmother of 9 and I love them unconditionally.

Don’t pay them anything. Sorry to hear your parents are expecting payment, and quite shocked they actually kept track of spending. Because you were a minor, legally they were responsible for you. You didn’t take a loan fro your parents, something that is agreed upon, so you aren’t required to pay them back - anything.

Lmao…good made up story!

They can’t force you. You never signed anything. They have no legal basis so just say no and break ties.

I don’t even know what to say that is awful. I’d cut them off personally fuck that

I think even if you went to court for this the judge would laugh in their face. Not to be harsh or rude to your parents of course but FUCK man what kinda parents do that? What’s the point in even having children???

You don’t have to pay them back. You never signed anything and couldn’t legally do so at the age of 12. They are LEGALLY required and responsible for you until 18 years of age :woman_shrugging:t3: unless they emancipated you, they can’t expect money from you. Even if they tried to fight you in court, the judge could not do much for them. I’d let them know that if that’s what they think then they can kindly stop buying anything and distanced yourself until they understand you’re not giving in. It’s one thing to ask your adult child for financial support, but to expect payment like that is absurd

I would love to see this on a judge Mathis show

If this is a true story, I’m sorry but tell ya parents to fuck off c

This would be laughed out of court if a judge would even allow it to be brought to court.

Firstly they’re obligated legally to provide for your needs until your a legal adult. Secondly a gift is a gift and you can’t expect repayment of a gift.

Legal part aside this is extremely shitty of them to do and honestly I’d cut them out of my life totally, you and your kids don’t need that kind of greed in your lives.

You don’t need to pay them shit. They have no legal rights on this whatsoever and tell to stick any further ‘Help’ up their holes xxx

How peculiar. My kids are adults but they need a coat I’m buying it, while I’m alive if I can help them I will.

This is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard! Regardless of how old my children are, I will always try my hardest to get them what they need and sometimes what they want - I wanted my children and therefore I am responsible for them until they become an adult and even then I will still help them out if they needed. A coat? It’s a necessity and it’s their job to make sure they fulfil their children’s needs! I would understand if it started at 18 and it was for things you borrowed or asked them to pay for but 12?!?! That’s insane!

I think your parents have problems within themselfs no parent should expect you to pay all that back they should of ot had hildren our job as parents is to provide for our children i would not pay a cent tell them to take the ledger an burn it

I’d tell them to take you to court. Better yet, Judge Judy so they can be televised saying this nonsense!

Sorry (Not sorry) but think this post a lickle joke?
Regardless…
Ask them what old folks home they would like to be in…
…Make sure they don’t go in it, pocket the cheque, leave them to rot.

Yep… no worries for any ledgers prior to 18!!! You were a minor. Period. Not to talk shit about your parents but this is craziness!!! Craziness!!! I don’t think any of this would hold up in court, so I don’t think you have anything to actually worry about. However, I can’t help but think something must’ve prompted this, this can’t be just a random convo…like, hey remember that coat when you were 13, you owe me for it etc… What started this??? We need more info

Tell her to take you to court. Running ledger LMFAO, I just spent $200 on my daughter today, I can’t imagine what her ledger looks like n she’s not even 3 yet!!!

I’d laugh at them first tell them from. 12-18 that be crossed off as it there duty of care to look after.

Your parents were legally responsible for you until you were an adult. If you needed a coat she had to supply it period! Generally, unless there was a specific agreement (ie, you consented to a loan as an adult for everything they’ve bought since) then family giving family money isn’t legally enforceable. Your parents need help…and not the legal kind.

My dear friend, you don’t owe your parents anything for what they have done for you as a child and as for your children, their grandchildren, you owe them nothing. For your car if you were an adult then, you were working, and depended on your vehicle to take you back and forth, if they want to be repaid for the work done. Pay them! Just don’t give up on the love for your parents over money. For the good that you do in your life the good Lord Yahweh, Yeshua Hamashiach, Jesus Christ, will reward you bountiful lyl! Fear not, have courage and put your trust in the good Lord. All the best to you and your kids and to your parents too. Yah love Levi.

OFFER TO MAKE PAYMENTS. Sounds like it’s more than you could ever pay off. 10 dollars a week. My mom did this to me and to my daughter when they gave her a truck at 16 years old.
When went to make PAYMENTS she would need to go shopping or out to eat sometimes .She would pay buy my daughter clothes, me stuff for home ext. Looking back it was her way of making sure I was ok. She is in heaven now and I would love to go shopping. Buy one get one free. She bought one and I picked free one for me shoes Jean lol.

My parent did this to me but I was in and out of the home at a very young age because my parents had 9 kids and could not take care of all of use my dad divorce my mom who left and didn’t really come back tile I was 23/24 this includes birthday cards with 20 or 5 and a phone call every 8/12 months my step mom is well evil and hated use we were to no be see or heard ever and only clean ect when I was 23 I had my first child and I was a full time student getting my RN need less to say I asked my parents if I could live in their old garage / I would pay my costs and rent and fix it up for them as a mint her in law house they agreed I put 10,000 into the house in 6 months wedding money mostly and taxes … as soon as the finishing touches were done water and power brand new everything !! Including re framing the whole place by my grandpa who did it for free and Lifting and reframing the floor for free ect they kick me and my daughter out and also said they would keep the rent after I dumped all that money into the house in an account for me so when I moved I could have a down for a house they didn’t do anything like that I pretty much would have been better off on my own they still live in the mother in law house I build and my sister had the other house all to her self who’s lived their for years while my parents expect my to always go out of my way for them !! I have not talk to them in almost a year now and it feel amazing for me to not have those kind of people in my life anymore the ones who look out for themselves everything is about what they can get :sob:my poor children though they only have family on my husbands side now it’s a personal choice but I think you need to really read what you wrote and think is that normal is that healthy is that Ok!!

I’d say anything between 12 - 16/18 (depending the age in your state you are classed as a adult) doesn’t count parents are legally obliged to pay for their children, it’s like maintenance even if they are together. As for anything that’s given at Christmas or birthday (like the truck) that’s classed as a gift and they’d have to prove otherwise it wasn’t. They wouldn’t stand a chance in court getting this money off you, it’s hard to prove between family if it was a gift or loan unless it’s in writing and you signed it to say you would pay back. They sound rather toxic! Don’t pay them back.

Without something signed saying you agreed to pay this it really means nothing. Especially from age 12-18. They can’t MAKE you pay for things as a child in their care. You were their dependent. Stop contact with them and don’t allow them to gift you anything else, you are not a tax write off.

They are assholes. Sorry not sorry. In uk its 18 until you dont have to do anything for your child, even though we obviously do. But tbh in USA it should be 21. As soonas your legal to drink and think your an adult then thats when they should charge from. Even though it was their CHOICE to buy stuff for you. Different if you borrow money and then dont pay it back for x amount of time
