I have a story:
My daughter (she is 26) finished college when she was 24 (I paid for it). But after that she would hit me up every week for different things saying "Can I (borrow) 20 bucks?" sometimes it would be 10.00 sometimes 30.00
Well after 2 years of this "borrowing" I decided to cut the strings. I asked her last Fall if I could "borrow" her for a day or two. I had her paint my porch, clean the pool, rototill the garden, plant rye, pressure wash the house, all kinds of shit I did not want to do.
After a couple days of sweat she says........well what was that worth to ya? I laughed and said "let me think about that".
A week later she called and asked if I had an amount I could give her for all the work. I says "Well....I only borrowed you". so get back to me in a week. I think she got the message after awhile as she has not "borrowed" any money for about 6 months.
I guess this Mother just went for the big payoff.
