A mum was stunned after asking her son to chip in £80 per month towards living costs, only for him to be "completely f***ing livid".
Her son earns around £800-£900 per month and is currently saving up to attend university. The mum is about to lose £60 child benefit, and is finding things "really, really tough" at the moment.
Taking to Mumsnet's popular Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) forum with a post simply titled "[AIBU] To ask my 18 year old for board", the mum penned: "He earns 8-900 pounds a month and I've suggested he gives me £80 a [month]. Would make up for the £60 I will lose from child benefit. He's at College and due to go to University in September he's saved around £2,000 for this already.
