I gave my mom $1000 to hold for me and she says she doesn't have it. Also, I have given her $200 to hold and she deposited in her checking account "to pay a couple bills". She has her own money to pay bills. Then, she always asks me to buy her stuff without giving me the money for it. I have spent another $1000 on her so far this month. So that is, $2200. Why is she so sneaky when it comes to money?

You make a lot of money the way it sounds. 2200 a month to spend on mom? Wow. Not my business but really I have nice income and now work two jobs no way I have that much to spend on anyone! And why is she holding your money, money is safer in the bank

Sounds like this has been an on-going problem with your mom. You should definitely stop having your mom hold on to your money. Can you put it in your bank account yourself? My guess is she is sneaky with money because she has such easy access to yours.

Quit giving your mom access to your money!

I know it's not that easy, but ...

It's the only sure fire way to stop her from taking advantage of you this way!

My mom is happier when I give her money. She yells at me when I don't.

Make your choice, appeasing your mom with money or stand up for your rights to keep your own money. If you choose to make mom "happy" by letting her do this.. I dunno what to tell you but in order for it to stop only you can make that happen. yeah she'll be unhappy but it's either she's unhappy and you've got freedom and control or you keep staying under her thumb.

I am happier when I have jingle too!!! I would be much more appreciative than your mom is if you gave your jingle to me!!! (Just kidding)You should tell your mom no to funds unless your living with her. Even then, rent and no more. Guilt tripping your adult child is a no-no.

The real question is: "Why are you making it so easy for her to exploit you?" I don't see where your mother is all that sneaky. She doesn't have to be to take advantage of you.

Put your extra money that you don't need right away in a bank account. It will be there when you want it. Consider the money that your mother took the price you paid for a valuable lesson: Your mom is not trustworthy - now you know. This goes to her basic character. She won't change. Who knows why she's that way? I'm sure an analysis of her life, especially her childhood, would yield some idea of the reason. Make that analysis, if you like. But it really doesn't matter that much at this stage of her life. She is as she is. Don't enable this behavior. That will just make you grow bitter toward her.
Thanks for this!

Are you, perhaps, too young to open a bank account on your own? If so, find a hiding place in your room.

Paying your mom to be nice to you is a bad habit to get into. The price will keep going up. Her yelling at you won't kill you. I know it's a drag, but you can learn to tune it out. If she's unreasonable, then let that be the motivation for you to get emancipated soon as you can and live independent of her.
Thanks for this!

You are not responsible for your mom's happiness!

As far as her yelling at you when you don't ... That's just downright abuse!

I'd keep my money for myself and put as much distance between me and this toxic woman as possible!

Thanks for this!

I'm not so certain that it's technically sneaky. Now that you realize she isn't a secure bank to hold money for you, where will you now have your money held?

There are banks to hold your money, safely.

If you and your son are living with your mom, then take a look at how your mom and you split household finances. Agree on something and consider it a contract. Give her the exact amount you agree on. If you have extra money, put it anywhere but not into her hand. You need to build a rainy day fund for yourself and your son. Anything can happen at any time.

Sounds more like "I keep giving my mom my money" instead of "my mom keeps taking my money"


You are the one with the power and the problem here, your mom's greed is just a byproduct, and her greed will grow and intensify, because you make it so easy for her to act on her greed.


Give her what you must and no more. Simple.


Repeatedly giving her money "to hold" is just asking for trouble, its like begging her to use it...


Bank or hide the rest.

I do put my money in the bank, but my mom was paying for my storage while I was in the hospital. I was giving her money. I just gave her $1000 and she doesn't have it anymore.

If you are ever in the hospital again, be aware that every hospital has a safe for storing money, jewelry, etc. of patients.

You really need to talk to a social worker about your relationship with your mother. It sounds like she is using you being sick as a reason to exploit you. That is illegal. If you are in the hospital again, explain all this to a social worker.
Thanks for this!
