GUY GIVES MUM ALLOWANCE BUT SHE ALSO DEMANDS HIS BONUS, “I FEEL LIKE A BANK”

My mom is like my loan shark

As the title goes, im like a bank to my mom. Growing up she always told me to save money. Now im 23 i give her money monthly $150 bcuz thats what i can afford to give her.

She says it isnt enough. She kept asking regarding my bonus for months and now mid year is here she asked again.

I mentioned that its for my savings & she said i MUST give some to her too.

I explained that i need to save for future plans (wedding etc which she said she’s not gonna help) but she says no such things as savings there’re still many years for u to save up.

Im so hurt by this, i havent gotten a single cent from both parents since 13. I spend my money buying necessities paying bills giving money to them & for years i feel like a bank.

They never believed me when i said i had $0 in my bank once, which was true. Im just stuck now anyone has broken out of this situation before? Im so done

1. Don’t say you’re saving for the future. Say your salary isn’t enough to cover your expenses and that you didn’t get a bonus.
2. what I’ve learned over the years and advice from my siblings and this one aunt; In one ear, out the other.
   If she asks, either nod your head or shrug. Never give a verbal answer back. If she gets angry/upset that you’re not answering her, show her your digibank with proof that you literally have zero in your bank. I once showed my mom, in real time, the amount in my account on my phone. Shoved it into her face and it said: $-5.60.
   Ahhh fun times.
   Anyway, she stopped harassing me for a bit but obviously it wasn’t forever before she lapsed back into her usual antics.
   Other than that, tell her you’re paying part of the bill as well and insist that that’s all you can afford to give.
   If you’re legally an adult, try to move out, stay with a relative or friend who’s willing to rent a room for cheap or try to find a place that has low rent as much as possible. If you can’t afford it, just let it go in one ear and out the other.
3. i never really understand why is it so hard to say NO to your parents, i have seen marriage, career destroyed, coz the parents keep demanding and they give in.
   buying car and condo after u graduated from Uni and just start working, father got a mistress, spending money and selling house to financial her spendings, going for monthly holidays, … lists goes on
