My mom always ask me for money?

[Anonymous]

My mom isn’t employed but always asking me for money I always give it to her but I can not afford to always send her money how do I tell her no without feeling guilty?

Unless she is disabled, tell her to get off her butt and find a job instead of mooching off of her child. She’s a grown ass adult, she can support herself (again, unless she is disabled, in which case you should direct her towards organisations or financial benefits that are there to help her). Stand up for yourself and set a boundary.

I had a "friend" who was doing that and even though I can afford it I cut him off because he is capable, but lazy. If your mom cannot work that is one thing, but if she's just lazy or bad with money, that is on her. If you do cut her off, expect some shaming, but be strong or you will be struggling for years because of the added, unnecessary burden.

Because you're an easy mark and will say yes, clearly

If she’s taking advantage stand up for yourself. Say the next time will be a loan.
