-- Posted by Anonymous at 3:10 pm on July 4, 2008 long story short, i have an illness which requires a certain amount of care from my mum, roughly she needs to stay up 3-5 hours later than she would of to make sure I'm ok, though she can do other things in that time and its not 100% necessary for her to do that, she just worries. she used to get £300 a month for doing that, since i turned 16 the moneys going to me but she's still doing the same thing. both my parents seem pretty sour about it, should i just offer the money back to them? i mean i would have said they could keep it straight away if they'd said something, but they seemed fine for months but now they seem annoyed about it. oh and they have a pretty good income, i mean they can afford to go on holidays abroad buy new cars etc.. I'm just putting the money in a savings account for uni -- Posted by reev at 3:11 pm on July 4, 2008 ask them if they mind that you're putting it in an account and saving it for school. -- Posted by californication at 3:20 pm on July 4, 2008 You don't have to offer them the money, but if you feel you want to, you can offer some. I would keep some and tell them what you plan to do with the money
