    Sorry sweetheart - but if I were your mum, I'd have packed your bags by now! Why should she subsidise you any more?

    Find your own flat - at less than £100 per week!

    I paid my mum a third of my salary as soon as I started working.
    My son is at uni in halls and pays £83/week; he's got his flat for next year sorted and will be paying around £90 a week for nothing like the facilities you'll get in your nice comfy home. He currently has no income, only his student loan which he has to pay back anyway
    Grow up, move out and see how far you get on £100 in the real world.

    Peeps can we tone it down please, yes the OP has come across as a brat as some would say but i dotn think she understands whats being asked of her,

    I've asked the OP to check what her Mum's outgoings are:

    Look, it's not rocket science, dear.

    Ask her how much she pays each month for:
    mortgage
    gas
    electricity
    water
    council tax
    landline
    internet
    building/contents insurance
    TV licence
    Sky
    food

    then you will know whether her £1200 is accurate.

    If she can prove that the £100 per month that her Mum is asking her to contribute is in excess of her Mum's total outgoings, I'm more than happy to 'tone it down'.

    You begrudge paying towards your mums mortgage when you live there and are earning a good wage too? Im so glad your not my daughter! No matter where you live you will be paying someones mortgage....move out and you just pay some strangers mortgage instead....i know for sure id rather help my own mother out then some stranger!

    I also have a 3 bedrooms house and my gas alone is £30 a week, another £15 for electric and another £15 for water....then there is also rent, coucil tax, phone, tv and internet, insurance, food, then all the extras that come up when something breaks etc

    You really are in for a very rude awakening when you do get thrown out into the big wide world on your own!. Time to grow up and start respecting your mother!!

    IF she is genuine then I highly doubt anything anyone on here says will make her see sense. She'll just go shopping this afternoon, out with her mates tonight and b!tch about the nasty mse'rs and continue to watch her mother struggle and lose the house.
