I honestly would stop all communication with them for the time being. If they purchase something for your kids that you didn’t ask for, to politely decline said “gift” unfortunately that might also mean birthday presents if they are going to add that to their growing list of what you “owe” them. Let them take you to court. No judge is going to make you repay for shit from when you were still a child. The most I can see them making you repay is the repairs to your car.
Tell them it’s their job to provide until ur 18 or out of their house. Thank u next. A judge would laugh in their face

Yea that’s not right, first of all you didn’t ask to be born and second it’s their responsibility to provide for their kids

Some clarification for some of the questions, I do have 5 siblings, the 2 oldest don’t have ledgers, me and my 3 younger siblings do. Mine is the largest by far because I’m the oldest of the 4 with running “bills”. I was the only single parent among them so my parents felt the need to buy me more (for my kids), I’m also the only one who went to college. The total number is over $17,000, I am unable to take a photo because its locked in a fireproof box. My parents are elderly, one was diagnosed with alzheimers, the other has different health issues, and they are getting ready to move from our childhood home into a retirement community. I really wish it wasn’t real, like most of the people commenting. I feel nauseated about the whole thing. I just had a baby recently and it hurts knowing she’s not going to really know her grandparents.

Wtf…serioisly???
Parents shouldn’t be charging their children to pay them back for things they have brought with their own money.It’s their job to make sure that you have things that are provide for you as you grow up.My parents don’t keep up how much they spend on me as a child and they never keep up how much they have spending on their granddaughters.I never ever keep up how much I spend on my kids nor their daddy keep up how much he spend on them.It just stupid for them to keep up how much they have spend on you and expecting you to pay them back.

Who cares about your debt to them? Let it go. Your kids won’t kno their grandparents and that bothers you? Oh well. Life goes on 
Well, if one was diagnosed with alzheimers, I’m sure in time they will forget all about this bs. So don’t worry your pretty little head and don’t pay them back sh*t. It’s their responsibility to financially support their children and anything they choose to do after 18 is a gift.

This wouldn’t hold up in court if they even tried. Bc the car thing , they gave it to u on ur birthday , so it was a gift. You never asked them to buy the kids clothes so those are also GIFTS.
And it is there job to provide for you until your an adult 
I’d tell them that.

This isn’t for real is it? No, there is no way you owe them from when you were a child. As an Adult, you owe them only if you had an agreement to pay them back.
You owe them nothing
This is honestly fucking horrible . There job as parents is to support you. I could understand if you got a loan of money as an adult and had to pay that back as that’s normal. But to expect you to pay them back money from when you were a child? No that’s ridiculous I would cut my ties and move on.

Even if they could a court would a. Laugh them. Out of it and b. Only count what was spent from You been 18 they don’t have a leg to stand on
DON’T PAY THEM ANYTHING. People are telling you to pay $1 or $5 with some kind of payment plan but I highly recommend not paying a dime, because once you pay something it can be considered a sign that you’re accepting the debt.

I’m sorry but this is hilarious.
When you have a child, they’re your financial responsibility until they’re 18.
Unless you signed a contract, or told them you’d pay them back, they’d have to have proof anyways. If you were under 18, there’s nothing court could do.
They’d get laughed at.
Sounds like they’re struggling with money and taking it out on you.
What shitty people.
I watch too much judge Judy, she’d wipe the ground with them.
Hell No dont give them a penny and cut them out of ur life! they are ur parents! They are responsible for you till u turned 18! What in the world is wrong with people.

Sometimes you just have to leave people out of your life for your own good. Absolutely ridiculous that your own damn family will try to dump on you for the better for them.
No. You were a child. Anything they have done for you while you were under 18 is what they are expected to do as a parent. Who expects a 12 year old to pay back a winter coat. Fuck that. Tell them to stop doing shit for you and take you to court. Unless yall had an agreement that youd pay anything back or had a contract ( which would be voided by the court since you were freaking 12) then you dont owe them a dime. You need to look up contract law and what is legally considered a gift (I know it’s crazy but it varies by state).
Wtf?? That shits just plain nasty! Divorce and sue them!
Don’t give them a dime.

Are your parents saving this ledger for when they are in hard times? Your childhood was not a savings account for them to retire on. Children dont ask to be brought into this world and all of that is unfair. I mean if they need help with something financial they should just ask and not hold this running ledger. Did they include all the food you ate? Your mom was real dedicated about making the journal entries too. That took some dedication

Tell them to fuck off and they shouldn’t be parents. Seriously. Disown them. I would. And if you don’t want to then at least tell them you’re not paying them back for anything before 18 because you were a child. And the car was on your birthday so clearly a gift which wouldn’t hold up in court. Matter of fact tell them to take you to court when a judge hears them say they want everything since you were twelve they will get laughed out of the court house. That’s terrible! I’m so sorry your parents are like that.
That is pure toxicity. I’m not sure your relationship but I would completely remove the, from my life. Don’t pay them a dime, as your parents it’s their responsibility to cover your costs until your 18. If they didn’t specifically tell you AT THE TIME that they wanted money back for then you don’t owe them anything. They may try to take it to court but it won’t hold up, best case the judge tears them a new one for even pulling this and wasting time and resources.

I would not pay it back. It is their duty as parents to help provide for you until your 18. I don’t think any court anywhere would agree that you would need to pay them back. You didn’t sign a contract when you were 12 even if you did you can’t legally be obligated to pay anything until your 18.

They wouldn’t win if they took you to court. I would politely inform them you will not be paying them back as there was never my agreement for that and that at that age it was their responsibility to pay for your things and as for the stuff they got you as an adult you were sure they were gifts. Then if they have a problem and start drama cut them off and whatever you do dont except anything from them anymore

Why buy someone something if your going to charge them… without telling them first. I’m sorry to hear this
Toxic parents like that wouldn’t leave anything to their children. But it’s time to move on and out if still living with them. They shouldn’t have had children if they felt the child owed them for everything. I started working at 13 - babysitting, day work cleaning and ironing, I even had a paper delivery route ( on foot to the door in the country not city) my parents never asked me for a dime. But I bought my mom an automatic washer ( she had an old wringer washer in the cellar), the first color tv they ever had, and I’d pick up grocery items and never ask to be paid back. I bought my first car at 16 and pd cash, i pd for ins. Gas and maintenance. I never regretted it just that i couldn’t do more.
What kind of parents do this u sure there not trying to teach u a lesson about money I hope this is a lesson they really don’t expect u to pay them I hope

Sounds to me like they got mad at you for something and are getting even, or they want to control you, or they have mental issues. You dont owe them anything. They can’t just hand you and your kids gifts and tell you months or years later, oh you owe me for that. Did you come into some money and they’re jealous or get a partner who has money? I’d stay away from them, they sound evil and controlling. Change your phone number and go your own way.

OMG are you serious. My son just turned 32. If he calls me and needs money he has it. If its for the children there is no return but if its for him I ask him to try and pay it back but if he doesn’t have it he doesn’t. My son is my life. I would never ever think of such a crazy thing. Your parents are selfish. I’m sorry to say. When you become a parent you do things out of love for your children not as a obligation or as a loan.

Well first they as parents were responsible for you until 18 so that gets rid of 6 years of the bill and if you were in school they still had to care for you until you graduated. And something they should remember is you didn’t ask to be born, do it was their choice therefore they were liable, do suck it up mom and dad. Sounds like you owe her for bringing her into this world.
