For context, I’m not an actual renter. I live with my mother and give her money every two weeks for a slice of the rent, some electricity, water, stuff like that. But now, all of a sudden, she wants me to start paying more for electricity and wifi because it’s “fair”.
She says it’s because I don’t have a job yet/don’t have a course that I’m doing. Mind you, we have an unlimited wifi plan, so that is just bullshit right out the gate.
It’s like she’s trying to make every excuse to try to squeeze more money out of me, despite the fact that we agreed ages ago that what I was paying was fair already and covered my share of it all.
If I start doing that I’ll barely have any money left for myself for anything, but who cares about that when she can be a cheapskate?
I think it’s complete bull that she keeps doing this. I already fought with her before after I refused to pay for food that I wasn’t using after I’d already paid my share of the rent itself, but I still had to give that up.
What am I supposed to do? Let her get away with whatever she wants?
Here are what netizens think:
- Well maybe it’s time you moved and be independent.
- Maybe your mother is signalling you to move out so some new men can move in. hehe
- This world is about money, since you are brought up by such a stingy mother maybe one day you will also be like this.
