She’s Been Accused of Ruining Her Mom’s Longtime Friendship After Calling Her Mom’s Friend’s Daughter A Freeloader
Have you ever felt pressured to become close to the children of your parent’s best friend? It’s amazing when these relationships end up being super strong and great, but at the end of the day, you might not get along with them.
One woman has been accused of ruining her mom’s longtime friendship after calling her friend’s daughter a freeloader.
Her mom has a best friend who she’s been close with for over 40 years. They were each other’s bridesmaids and have been there for each other through very hard times. Her mom’s friend has a 23-year-old daughter she’s not close with at all but suddenly had to deal with her daily.
Her mom’s friend’s daughter had just gotten a new job in the same city as her and contacted her for the first time in 15 years to ask if she could stay at her apartment for three weeks while she waited for her new apartment lease to start.
Because their moms are so close, she felt pressured to let this girl stay with her, so she said yes, even though she lives in a tiny, one-bedroom apartment.
Unfortunately, things started falling apart quickly. Her mom’s friend’s daughter only gave her two days of notice before her arrival, and once she arrived, she made a mess of things. She refused to contribute toward any of her apartment costs or chores.
“She threw away my food from the counter, broke items, including my travel memorabilia, [and] left moldy food on my dining table,” she explained.
“[She also] lost my spare house key within five hours of her arrival, then asked to take my personal key to get in and out of the apartment. I had to spend an evening running around Home Depot.”
This, surprisingly, wasn’t the worst of her mom’s friend’s daughter’s behavior. They ended up having a massive falling out after this girl invited herself on a weekend trip to Maine she had planned alone.

“She invited herself to tag along,” she explained.
“I paid for the rental car, the hotel, the gas money, the national park entry fees, and drove the entire trip. When it came time to pay for gas or any shared trip costs, she turned the other way.”
To make matters worse, her mom’s friend’s daughter did bring money on the trip, but instead of putting it towards trip costs, she spent it on souvenirs and a camera.
After the trip ended, she added up all of the trip costs and split it down the middle. In the end, the trip cost them each around $200. When she told her mom’s friend’s daughter she expected her to pay her back whenever she could, she tried gaslighting her and told her she didn’t think they’d have to split costs and that she contributed to the trip.
However, this was far from the truth. This girl only contributed to the trip by purchasing one $4 parking ticket and paying for one of her coffees.
At this point, she was so angry with this girl that she snapped.
“I let out all my frustrations and ended by calling her a freeloader,” she added.
“She left the apartment angry and got her parents to book her a hotel room. [Our] moms are super mad, and their friendship is now quite tense.”
While she can see how she should’ve addressed her problems with this girl earlier, she still doesn’t think her behavior was excusable.
Should she feel bad for causing drama between her mom and her friend, or is her anger valid?
