My mom kept asking for money until I tried something my friend suggested.

She called again last Tuesday asking for $300 to cover a bill, and I finally said 'I can help you make a budget instead' like my friend told me to. She got quiet for a second but then actually agreed to sit down and look at her numbers this weekend. Has anyone else found that offering a different kind of help works better than just saying no?

Yeah now she asks if I can help budget her vacation spending instead.

Did she actually stick to looking at the budget with you?
