I need some advice...

Question

For the last two years I have been attending college full-time, I'm married and my husband works full-time. Here lately, we have been running very short on money and have had to borrow some fairly large amounts from my mom. I don't like doing it, and feel really guilty for asking her for it. Examples would be for our taxes (thanks to a mistake on a w-4) and then she paid our bills for the entire month of July because my husband was off work for medical reasons. (His disability won't kick in until this week). Am I a horrible free-loader, because I sure do feel like one. I guess I just need someone to tell me yes or no.

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

As long as your mom isn't putting herself in jeopardy, then your ok. Most parents' entire lives consist of helping out their children  

Answer 3

i think you're mother likes to help you too. You never mention that she don't like doing it. Maybe you can be a working student. Don't worry about that. you sau you're a college student so it means that your mother didn't make you complete your studies so it's now her chance.

please help me with my prob.

Answer 4

Well, parents are there for you while your still growing and going through life (such as college). It's not free loading - unless you do it just because you can. Just make sure that you try to help her out when she starts getting older - because she will probably need it. She loves you and is helping you through a hard time - just don't take it to your advantage - and by the sounds of it - your not.

Hope everything turns out better!

Answer 5

Everyone needs a little help every now and then. You shouldn't feel like a free loader. You should feel lucky that you have someone that can help you out in your time of need.

Answer 6

make sure you pay back ALL her loans whether she wants the money or not. everyone struggles and thats what parents are for just make sure that you re-pay her!!

Answer 7

If you pay her back, it wouldn't be freeloading. Just pay her back her money when you can.

Answer 8

No you're not.  Lots of kids at sometimes in their lives need help.  It's nothing you did on purpose & was of no fault of our own.  Might come a time in your lives when your children also need help.  You KNOW you'll be there for them too.  We parents just understand, & are just grateful we can be of help.  I'm sure that's the same way your mom felt when she helped you.  Just be gratfeul she could help, & let her know. Better times w/come for you.  Best to you...:)

Answer 9

No not at all. shes your mother thats what mothers do.they help you out when it gets tough.
