Mom Spends Son’s College Fund, Tells Him Not to Tell Dad While Son Racks Up Loans

There’s financial irresponsibility, and then there’s spending your kid’s college fund and asking him to keep it a secret.

In this Am I the A**hole story, a mom burns through her son’s savings—meant for tuition—and leaves him drowning in student loans while insisting they just not mention it to Dad. It’s giving betrayal, bad decisions, and a masterclass in how not to handle money or parenting.
