if you borrow money to your parents, do you pay back?

We all knew that wasn't a fair business with your parents. Nonetheless, you are their precious princess, they have to give you the money to spend. If you want to do something in return, just be a good person, and whenever you have the fund available, pay them back. They might feel much pleasure if you do so.

Sounds like you're in a weird position. I guess just pay back what you owe when you do get a job. I never borrowed money from my parents, but I've borrowed quite a bit from my grandparents. We pay them back when we have the money. We've got a running tally on our note board and we've only got a couple hundred left that we owe (we pay about $50 a month to them). I can't imagine ever borrowing money and not paying it back. I'm very proud and very stubborn, so I'd run myself ragged and get only maybe 2 hours of sleep a day if I had to in order to get it all paid off. Thankfully my debts aren't quite THAT bad, but still. :) They're getting paid.

I don't borrow money from my parents. I ask them to give me. If they give me, I don't return it back. If I have my own money, I initiate to give them. If they ask for money, I don't ask or demand them to pay it back to me. Our treatment with money is that once it was given, we should not ask for a return, unless it is intended for something important, then we let it borrowed and we don't add interest.

You can ask them for money but I think if you ask them to borrow it, they expect it back.

I believe that the upbringings and the love that we get from our parents will be so much high that no amount of money will be able to match its level.The parents don't wish to take any money from their children .All they want is the love and support from the childrens,which is rare in these modern days once parents get older.

Your post made me smile ;) I just remember when I was still a student, we share the same experience. Well I guess it's just how it is. It is very common amongst us Filipinos. Up until now, I'm married and got a kid, I still borrow from my parents whenever the budget gets tight. And you know what? Oftentimes, when I was about to repay them, they just tell me to just it give it to our apo (grand daughter). But sometimes, I do insist to give the money back to them especially when the amount goes to more than a thousand. Well I guess we all are lucky to have generous parents.

Your parents are catering to you. I hope you appreciate it. I have 4 kids and 3 of them are grown. I am a single mom. When I lent them money...I DID expect it back. Not only because I needed it but because I wanted to teach them to be responsible. it Of course, I have helped my kids out at times when I was able to and they very much appreciate it. I raised them to be independent and they are. Sometimes when I know my daughter is really hurting for money and she can't afford to pay me back....I just tell her to forget it...just beause I love her and want to help her out. You are very fortunate.

hi jenskye I have never done that when my parents were alive, but my son has borrowed money from me and he always has paid me back,I never asked him too he just said it was only fair,I would never have asked for it as I am his mom but he wanted to so okay.He is a very good young man and I am so proud of him and so sorry now that hes been out of work for so long. its so hard for' a man to be out of work long,worse even than for a woman, I think.

Since you have no way of paying it back, I am thinking your parents are really just giving it to you at this point so you can occasionally buy things while going to school. If you feel really bad about it you could start keeping track of the money they give you and then once you get your first job you can pay them back all they money they have given you. But I am sure they are just trying to help you out now while you go to school, and I am sure they feel this is their resonsibility as parents.

I would never borrow money from my parents. My parents would never lend me money either, but they would lend it to my sister and have

I think you can ask your parents for money since you are now have no income, but if you borrow money from your parents, you should remember to pay it back to them, after you have the ability to earn money by yourself, and then pay them back. I think it's not about the money, it's about responsibility. You can ask them for money but since you borrow money from them, it's better to pay them back. Anyway, it's just my opinion.

Im a newly grad.. and after less than a year of working. even as much as i would like too my parents won't even take any amount of money from me or any of my siblings even if its borrowed. So we always end up to giving them gifts or things we know they like but don't even want to buy for themselves because its not in their list of priorities.. We buy them gifts at their own cost :) but atleast its still the thought that counts.

At first when I started borrowing I had a hard time paying them back because I didn't want to share my money. Not that I was selfish or anything but because I never had alot of money growing up. But now that I have gotten older I have become more responsible in paying them back. I feel bad when I don't pay them back and I rarely ask for money. I do work for my parent's occasionally and make about $140 a month. That is money that I don't have to pay back and it helps me out alot between pay checks.

Well, you have a few options here: 1. Stop borrowing money 2. Get a job 3. Do household chores for an allowance This will help you to learn some responsibility and your parents will have respect or you.

yes, very much...with a little extra bit...my mum loves it when i do that

If you are doing things to earn the money it is fair.If you just ask for money you are not expected to pay it back,This is just how ,I see it. I never ask now that ,I am married.But will borrow and pay back its a great feeling to let your parents see you in mature situations that once felt weird .

No i don't pay them back because i don't earn money yet and they don't even ask for the return i will be paying them back in future by earning money myself.

i could not have ability to pay back money,i earned these money only enough to my spending.of couse,i hope that i can pay back money to my parents.i found that i would live alone and be respond with something,the rent and spending and saving from my salary ,and so on.i found that there is limited for spending my money,especially i hope that i can study more at college and improve my education,so i hope that my parents can help me to finish my education and borrow money from them.if i have good job and enough money,i can pay back to them.

My husband got laid off about 6 months ago. At that time we only had enough in savings to get us thru for a couple of months. We then had to move into our camper to his mothers property. He draws unemployment and it pays the bills. WE have to borrow money his mom to get us thru from pay check to pay check. We will pay her back when he goes back to work. My reason is that she has helped us out now and in return we can help her out by paying it back. My main point is if you pay back what you borrow with your own money then they will be more likely to give it out when you really need it.

lol. You really like me when I'm 10-25 years age. Ago, I'm often borrow my parents money and never pay back. Relax and enjoy, jenskye. as long as you still kid your parents, I believe they never take it, except your parents stingy
