Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I know the tittle isn't the best so let me elaborate I am 17 and for my birthday my dad and my uncle pitched in so me and my brother could buy somethings. They gave us each $200 and I wanted to buy a cheap laptop with mine so I could start making music which has always been an interest of mine. 

Also let me just say that I've been looking for a job but have had no luck so I wanted to do music as a nice medium to help pay for bills and my own needs until I get hired.

 The  day we got it  my mom asked for money to send to my grandma who lives in a different country to help with Christmas stuff since $400 is a lot there so me and my brother lent her our $400 and she said she would pay us back in a week. 

So at this point I'm ok with it and what not but  a week passes and I hear nothing on the money I ask what happened then she says my sister got robbed so she needs the money she was gonna give me to help her get her information back since they took her purse so I said ok I'm not gonna be mean when it come to my sister getting robbed. 

She promises to pay me back the week after I say ok and then hear nothing so I ask again and she says my sister was gonna give the money but she never got paid so now I'm getting annoyed it's been almost a month at this point and I'm getting annoyed. 

Ik she has 3 jobs and I haven't seen my stepdad help with bills so I'd assume it's partially his fault we're not good financially.

Today I asked again and she went on a rant on how god is gonna punish me for pressuring her on the money that she doesn't have even though last week her and my stepdad got matching tattoo worth about $50-$100 each and all I asked for was my money to buy a cheap computer which I think if she can spend half that on tattoos she can pay me back at least half of mine so I can save it and then give the other half whenever she has it I even asked for $90 today and for a slow payment of 50 every week, I even told her I'd take 25 if she has it.



TLDR

For those who couldn't be bothered basically I let my mom borrow my birthday money to help my grandma and she said she'd pay me back in a week but it's been a month and I've seen none of it
