Today, my mom grabbed my phone, said she was taking it because I'd been disrespectful, and hung up my call. I'd been speaking with a work client. This is the gratitude I get for paying all her bills for the past 2 years, all because she's too lazy to get a job. FML

You need to stop enabling your mom. She needs to learn that she can't keep using you as a source, and grow up. She's supposed to be the parent, not you. This path is going to be your life if you don't change it now. Your mom needs to learn the values of life and her lack of responsibility is wrong, especially when she is dependent on her child.

Well I mean, you could just stop paying the bills until she respects your personal space or she gets a job. Don't be a pushover or she will walk all over you.

you're paying her bills for two years, but she can still take your phone away? out of sheer curiosity, how old would that make you exactly? twenty seventeen?

If you are paying her bills in return for living in her house rent-free, for example, then I can see how it could be a fair arrangement. But even then you should be entitled to do your job without interference. If she is contributing nothing in return then you need to take your bill-money and find your own place to spend it on.

Time for momma to go bye bye. I wouldnt accept that behavior froma child much less from grown ads adult. Time to sit her down and have a very long talk.

Yeah I would remind her of the fact that she just hung up on a WORK client, and you need that phone for your JOB, and see if that clicks.

Stop enabling her, and from the sound of it you're an adult, so she has no right to do that.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Learn from my 40 years of that happening. Demand the phone back immediately, and advise her that new rules are in place: YOU decide what you do and how, not she; she will end her disrespect of you; she does not have the authority to 'discipline' you, she will treat you as an adult; or the bills quit getting paid; all of this is non-negotiable. Then make it stick. Trust me and my experience, it will only get worse and worse unless you stop it now.

Wow. I wonder why she felt she had the right to take your property- that you pay for. She was wrong and disrespectful. One of the things that popped in my head when I read your post, was she might be suffering with depression. I do. And when it's bad, I can't work and I rarely leave the house, hell, rarely answer the phone. Of course Idk your mom but I was just giving you a reason you may not have thought of to why she may not be working. Depression is real. Some people think you can just take a pill or take a walk and then you're healed. For many, it's much deeper than tho.
