Paying 'keep' HELP!!!

olibrofiz

Am absolutely gobsmacked by the OP's attitude. She's gotta be either a troll, or about 12? 13? Surely.

I think she should stop whinging and move out, would make both her and her mum & brother happier all round.

Selfish, selfish, selfish

Successful troll is successful.

Reality is that there are people out there like this. Yes the OP could well be a troll but the OP could easily be someone serious.

When my sister lived at home she resented paying my parents keep and she was only paying £25/week (around 10 years ago) so it was very cheap. She was often late with it and sometimes didn't pay it at all.

She is still just as selfish and she is 28 now. My parents got her a car last year (she needed a car for work and didn't have one) on the bases that she would pay them the money back on a monthly amount that they agreed on - she is yet to pay them a penny :mad:.

They need to be asking for the money more.
Don't worry, she will get real shock when she tries to avoid paying a friend back and the word spreads!!

I take it you are on about my sister and my parents. Believe me they tried that and she doesn't answer her phone to either of them, has deleted them from her facebook and wants nothing to do with them - yes she really is that selfish! She doesn't live in the area any more and to go to where she lives with her husband would take them hours to get to and she would most likely refuse them entry. She is fully in the wrong but makes it out that they are. Basically she has made it as difficult as possible for them to get their money back :mad:.

She doesn't borrow money from friends from what I know so that isn't an issue.

Why is everyone assuming OP gets washing done and meals cooked? I'm 24, live at home and able and willing to do all of that for myself without Mummy's help!

I cant believe the OP is acting like this. I had to start paying my mom rent when she and my dad split up and so did my fiance who lived with us. We payed 20% of our weekly earnings to my mom, which wasnt much of my money as I only had a part time job with irregular hours, so sometimes my mom would only get 10 a week from me. I know how it feels for your mom to feel helpless so the least you can do is grow up and pay your way. I am now 23 and I have moved out with my fiance into a beautiful rented house and my monthly outgoings are about 1400 a month with everything included. Put it this way would you rather help you mom keep the roof over all of your heads in the family home or would you rather go somewhere and rent a grotty flat and put money in someone elses pocket and not your mom who had worked all of her life to help you?

A TV licence is not an essential bill - as a TV is not an essential

And we do actually pay rates in NI - except the landlord pays them and not the tenent.

Nor is a mobile phone, but the OP considers that an essential.......
