Typically, parents want to give their kids everything they could possibly want—or, more precisely, everything they need to be successful and happy. But what if your parents kept a record of every single expense they ever incurred on your behalf? Do you have to pay them back, or are they supposed to shoulder the cost of your upbringing?

The account that follows is the story of an astonished girl. On her eighteenth birthday, the Original Poster (OP) received a lengthy and detailed document detailing every expense incurred on her behalf since the day she was born. The costs included everything from meals to housing to the hospital fee upon OP's birth… Over the years, OP has handed over thousands of dollars to her mother because, rather than uprooting and leaving to lead an independent life, she chose to stay under her mother's watchful eye for a period of no less than three years before making the bold choice of venturing out on her own.

Having said that, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning more about the specifics of what happened between OP and her mother as well as OP's current situation! When you're done, don't forget to read about the entitled couple that tried to trick an unsuspecting passenger into handing over her business tickets on the plane!
