[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got a text from my mom out of the blue with the information to pay the remaining balance off of a loan she took out for my undergraduate education. Due to a divorce and bad financial decisions, she says that she can no longer pay it and now expects me to pay it since I’m starting a new job. I’m happy to help contribute but she expects me to pay starting next month and since she hasn’t made payments in a year - she’s not sure the full balance and says vaguely that she paid 1000k monthly at one point. I’m super upset that she sprung this up on me and she claims it’s always been the plan. Does anyone else think this is unreasonable? We have a decent HHI but two kids in daycare and my husband’s student loans. [/quote]

I think you should have been paying it from the day you graduated. Team Mom. [/quote]

If the parents expected her to start paying back the day they graduated, the parents should have been upfront with their expectations and given OP all the documentaion.  "Team Mom" handled this badly and I hope for your kids sake you aren't serious here because Mom made a poor decision to take out a loan she couldn't afford and then not tell her daughter for 10 years.

Honestly I'd probably ask for proof that the money was in fact used for OP's tuition because Mom hasn't been honest.....[/quote]
