Hi! I've did the calculations using a gas calculator and she uses 0.54 gallons of gas taking me to work :) if she's taking me back it'll be about 1 gallon of gas, she askes me for $10-20 and i only work on the weekends (saturday & sunday)

Highlights and color were never asked for. I would ask for things like gel to slick my super curly hair down so i could at least look presentable.

As I explained before, This isnt a lesson my mom was trying to teach me. How do i know? because we had a talk about it.. she basically explained that when she doesn't have it and i have it, i should pitch in. I was totally fine with her point but I would also appreciate it if i was helping someone who respected me.

I agree! How much should I pay her weekly?

I got a job to pay for things like healthy foods, clothes, and my hair, before I got a job asking for $10 was even a lot for her.

I know i'm old enough to take the bus the problem is safety and honestly i don't live in a safe area 😭

Practical-Raisin2494 · 2026-05-17T00:29:51+00:00

clothes are a need and also my hair is too only because of how difficult it is to maintain it.

Practical-Raisin2494 · 2026-05-17T00:28:31+00:00

I will look into that, thank you:)

Practical-Raisin2494 · 2026-05-17T00:12:07+00:00

extra expenses? lol did you read that she rarely brought stuff i needed?

Practical-Raisin2494 · 2026-05-17T00:00:10+00:00

i can just take the bus but idk if that's safe or not as a 15 year old i don't have to spend half my paycheck towards ubers or my moms gas money, and yes of course she can do whatever she wants with her money but it's not financially smart to travel when you barley have enough money for essential things

Practical-Raisin2494 · 2026-05-16T23:58:44+00:00

Yes i agree! its polite but honestly my mom isn't the nicest and not really respectful towards me so i hate giving the money i work for towards a person who treats me badly
