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!

Have you read all of 'Sweetheart's' posts?

Can you imagine her bothering to make her bed?
Put her own clothes into the washing machine and then iron them?
Shop for and then cook her own meals?

No, neither can I.

Just because you are capable of doing and willing to do all of the above, doesn't mean that the OP is.

Given her monumental selfishness as clearly displayed in her posts, I think my assumption that she does 'sod all' at home is (in the absence of a contradiction by the OP) much more likely that the life you lead.

Have you calculated how much your Mum has forked out for you in your 23 years?

As well as financial such as petrol costs in taking you to your childhood activities, taking you to friends houses etc for 16 (?) years, there were the hundreds of hours she gave up HER time to make sure you were fed & watered. At £5 an hour, that adds up.

She has sacrificed her TIME & MONEY for you. She is swallowing her pride to ask her children for help.

It would be a mixed blessing for you if you're ever in the same situation.

This brings to mind the lyrics of the song 'No charge'.

Oh dear sweetheart what are you on girl :rotfl:I cannot believe that you think you're paying your Mom's mortgage for her! You're living there too! You do realize that you'll probably inherit the family home some day eh? Good luck with finding somewhere as comfortable as home for £100 a week

Let's hope that, if her Mum has read even a little bit of this thread, she'll realise what a mean-spirited, selfish, self-centred little madam she's given birth to.
She'll chuck her out of the house, buy a smaller property (or even rent) in another part of the country where she can find a decent job and start to think of herself for a change and put this sorry excuse for a human being (that'll be you then, 'Sweetheart') out of her mind & life and make sure she spends her last penny on herself, leaving absolutely £zero for her daughter.

And that will be much, much more than 'Sweetheart' deserves.

I remember my very first room in a 3 bed house. I had the "box" room for £105 per week, that was just for the basic room, council tax, water and electric - but the landlord did not live with us.

Factor into that food, TV license, general day to day things, must have been talking about £160 per week all in?

But, it was 35 minutes walk away from town, no decent bus route, horrible area full of anti-social behaviour and the house was pretty much falling down.

£100 a week for something comfortable? Impossible.

And further more, the local properties round here offered by the council start at least £85 per week, thats just for the property.

An astonishing reaction to a simple and modest request; she shouldn't even have to be asked to contribute. What the heck is family all about, if not to mutually support each other, including financially. Daughter needs to grow up, think less of her non essential needs, and pay her way.

Without reading ALL the posts, my first thought was, ...... I hope you are not expecting to inherit the house!

Oh, do read all the posts, birkee - it's the only thread I've ever seen where EVERYBODY is in total agreement about the OP.

And I'm sure she DOES expect to inherit the house - she wants the whole world and the moon on a stick - she just doesn't want to contribute any more than the £50 per week she already is paying.
