Second rant for the day guys. I don't live at home. I have my own apartment, I pay my own bills. I'm also a single mom and don't get any assistance from my ex husband or the government. Well, I'm constantly giving my parents money. Like, before any of us got our taxes, I gave them over $600 to help pay miscellaneous bills. They finally gave me about $400 of it back a few weeks ago (after they blew through their $10k in taxes. I had to wait until he got paid again.) Well they still owe me $240. If I had the money to not need it back I would just give it to them. But I already struggle as is, and now I'm on maternity leave, the money I have saved up is literally all I have until I go back to work. And its almost not enough to pay my bills for my leave- not even including groceries, diapers, formula, or the baby shower. I literally have about $200 to spare and I'm going to need it for groceries for my 5 year old and I. Well I gave them $20 the other day because they needed toilet paper. They come back with sodas and chips and no toilet paper. Now they are out and want another $20 to go buy toilet paper. 1- I don't even have toilet paper at my own apartment! I ran out before I came over here but I have flushable wet wipes for my son until I go buy more. and 2- I'm so sick of giving them money! They already owe me $240, now $260! I'm so damn stressed as is and I just want to scream at them that I can't keep taking care of them but I know it will be the next world war and cause so much family drama.

I don't want to hurt their feelings. but I'm really starting to feel used and I'm frustrated shitless by the fact that after getting their taxes, they still need to borrow money!

Start saying no. Cause they feel like they can use you and get whatever out of you

I wouldn't feel bad because pretty soon you're going to end up going without stuff. you gotta think about yourself in that :/ sorry you are going through that

They need to manage their money a little better try to talk them into them giving you like 100 each paycheck they get and save it and when they say they need something then you go get it with the money they gave to you and take it to them instead of giving them the money cause then they will use it on what they want and not what they need
