Today, my mother machine-washed a suit I rented for a friends wedding, despite me informing her that it was dry-clean only, and that the store would take care of it. I now owe $1600 to replace the suit, and my mum is refusing to help pay, as she was "only trying to help." FML

Aeroboss tells us more.

Hello guys! OP here. Did not think it would get posted. So, to add onto the story, my friend's wedding was postponed a week because we had a little rain and he wanted an outdoor wedding. My mom usually is a pretty wonderful woman, but she is still used to cleaning up after myself and my siblings, probably because my youngest has muscular dystrophy and can't walk. We ended up sorting it out with the company, who informed us they could send us a new one. To be honest, repairing the suit would have cost less than just renting another one. Anyway, thanks for listening to the rant. Bye.

Be sure to tell your mom that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. That and to get her hearing aide checked.

First, you need to move out of your mom's house so she wont have access to your clothes. Then take her on Judge Judy and make her pay the suit. Its ridiculous of her to play innocent and to leave you hanging like that.

Take her purse and say you were trying to help her not spend any money.
