Mum's spending ALL my money!

Personally I'd just tell her how it is: that it leaves you majorly skint and you're losing out because of it, just be completely honest.

Either that or tell her you don't have enough to spare to give her a loan.

What a disgusting piece of advice. OP's mum has been carrying them around for 9 months + breastfeeding+ teaching them how to walk and life in general+ wiping their arse after a **** in the loo+ changing their nappies+ taking care of their health and you're telling them to smash the door in her face? You're what's wrong with society you know that? No principles. I bet you'll chuck your parents in a retiring home like animals when they grow old like other low-lifes.

Some money towards your keep isn't paying your way.

Just put up and shut up. If she hadn't **** you out into the world you definitely wouldn't have had a social life.

Hey folks, I need some advice as to what to do on this problem. I know it may sound like I'm selfish but hear me out on this.

My mum has been going a bit mental with the Student Loan I get for going to University, and by this, I mean she is CONSTANTLY asking me for a loan of some money here and there, and not only is it doing my head in, it's also leaving me majorly skint!

Now, I pay my way at home, and give my mum some money for my keep, which I think is fair, and I'm happy to do this, but now, my mums been asking for a loan of more and more money, and she takes WEEKS to pay it back to me.

When I first started going to college, I had a very minimal loan, and she wasn't as bad, but because I would need to travel a lot when I started at University (I'm an hour's train ride away), I took out a bigger loan to help me meet these costs, and now I feel like my mum is taking advantage of this.

My mum doesn't earn a lot so I don't mind helping her out a wee bit financially if she needs it, but now she's started asking for a loan of unrealistic amounts which leave me completely skint. I should also mention that she guilt trips me whenever I complain about it, and always goes on about how if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't even have my loan in the first place!

I can't take this hassle anymore. I'm losing out on a social life, I'm struggling to budget for funds to get to University, and I can't even put money by for the future due to her being a constant financial drain on me!

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks .

Like I said, I genuinely don't mean to sound like I'm selfish at all, but in all honesty, we do need money for our living costs, and that's what the purpose of a student loan is. Like I said, if my mum is really struggling for money, then I'm more than happy to help, but I genuinely do feel that she's starting to take advantage of this, as every day I get paid, she always asks for money.

Ignore the trolls, nothing wrong with giving your mum some money (indeed you do owe her some) but seeing as you're paying to live in her house, and are already giving her loans, you should be keeping some of your loan for yourself.

Thanks , it's nice to see that there are some nice people on this.

is moving out a possibility? as a mother myself i don't think you should be obliged to lend you mum money, i find the whole concept of borrowing from your child wrong.
When you study at university as a teen, student life is an important part of the experience and you should not be missing out because you are subsidising your parent.

That's a bit rich coming from someone who had to come on TSR to ask whether they should give their own mother some money Not very nice is it.

Tell her to **** off. What a cow.

Dude, grow up.

Nooooooooo! My mum isn't a cow, I love my mother dearly and think she's an amazing woman. The money part is the the only thing that upsets me, I would love nothing more than to see her be successful .

Tell her to **** off. What a cow.

It's what your mum helped you with isn't it Growing up.

That's more like it, I'm genuinely glad I've seen the more compassionate side of you
