Mother invoices 23-year-old son for 13 months support, including 'asshole' charge

A Canadian mother has had enough of her 23-year-old son taking her for granted.

Redditor Chalipo posted a photo of an invoice his mother presented to him for 13 months worth of living expenses while he’s been at home.

As you’ll see from below, it includes a CAD$1,000 (€680) surcharge for "being an asshole and not appreciative of your mother’s support, financially or otherwise".

The invoice, which includes payment for utility bills, cleaning and "incidental food/sundries" taken from the kitchen, comes to the hefty total of CAD$39,254.10 (€26,743.10).

In fairness to Chalipo, who is a full-time student, after he posted the invoice onto Reddit he admitted that it "was a very effective parenting technique", saying: "It has helped me to realize what an entitled little shit I have been." Indeed.

One point of interest from the bill is the fact that she has marked the "contributions from spouse", that is his dad, as zero.

Some redditors took umbrage at the mother’s action, but it was pointed out to them that she doesn’t expect her son to pay it, it was done to prove a point.

She told them: "I did it to prove a point. It was done in a minute and thrown in his room."

It seems to have worked, because Chalipo said: "This post has actually taught me a lot. I hope to one day be successful enough to support my family and repay her but she doesn’t expect me to."

Which left his mother suitably impressed, as she said: "Proud of you son. You could have reacted in many ways, instead you preferred to make an example of yourself. That shows incredible integrity at any age."
