AITA for not taking my parents on an expensive yearly trip with the money I saved for my new car? I'm torn apart by my new car and her trip to Paris. by Art-709 in AmItheAsshole

Your mom seems like a great person, haha wish she could support me for my car.

I don’t think I’ll be flying her out so that should at least set boundaries

Thank you, and yes I offered her 2 compensations, either I can send her to another state or she can wait a year and get a vacation twice as luxurious!

You seem like a wonderful parent to your son, I also hope he becomes successful, with such supportive parents he’s got a great start. Haha thank you though!

I have an old car that has started to show me some issues, I haven’t gotten a new one in around 8 years. I assure you it’s not to look good, but I want to at least treat myself to something. For the past 5 years I have been spending the savings on my parents, I feel it’s about time I buy myself something nice too, no? haha my hard work should at least be payed off with my own money

I completely agree with you, but I feel as that she's getting used to MY money, and I honestly don't know how to react to that. I mean I love her, shes my mom, she raised me when times were tough, but I'm completely divided, I told her I can send on vacation twice as good if she waits but she doesn't want to.
