It’s pretty obvious from the title. I have this friend that I met because we enrolled to the same univ at the same year. Let’s call her Brittany. We don’t have anything in common except we are from the same country but she is still a good friend of mine. (Keep in mind we are studying abroad)

We don’t get in touch for a long time because Brittany got herself a boyfriend, and now that they broke up, her mom starting to text me a lot. I’m assuming this is also happening to her ex bf because I heard of a story before.

Brittany’s mom called me once I was at work before, and thinking it was urgent I called her back. Turned out that Brittany was neglecting her studies and got the worst GPA ever that she’s crying all night. Brittany’s mom asked me to visit her daughter and stay over at her place to comfort her. It was really late, and I just got off work so I said that’s impossible. The mom still convinced me to visit Brittany, which I said I’m gonna hangout with Brittany later anyways so it doesn’t matter. And finally the mom calmed down. I called Brittany after that, and she was quite down but she was fine.

Just yesterday, Brittany’s mom texting me again. She reminded me of Brittany’s birthday which will be on early April, and asked me to buy a cake and surprise her. I said of course I’m gonna do that, because she is my friend. But it’s getting weirder when she said I need to tell her how much is the price of the cake so she can transfer some money to my bank account. I was surprised and refused, but she said it’s her request so she should take care of it.

I have no problem at all with Brittany. She’s a cool kid and she’s nice. But I feel kinda burdened everytime her mom requesting something from me. I don’t want anyone or even myself getting the idea I only hangout with Brittany cause of her mom. I don’t even know if Brittany knows about it.

I’m confused, what should I do?
