<prompt> Human: Some background info: My mother is the type of person who tends to act very impulsively, which caused enough problems to lead me to move out of her house when I was 16 and in with my father. She is the type to borrow 200 from me and then take months to return it, and conversely scream at me for being 20 minutes late to return 30. Shes by no means poor. She had a nice apartment and a nice job as a realtor the last time I visited. and despite the negative things Ive mentioned, she has good intentions most of the time, just, she is very do everything my way. She is also the type to not talk to me for a while, but suddenly get friendly when she wants something. With that being said, about a year ago, I asked her to cosign for me to get an apartment. I was 19 at the time and barely had any credit, so I needed a guarantor to sign on. I was living in another state for college, and the cost of dorms far exceeded the cost of the apartment. My father would usually be my go-to for this kind of thing, but he was in the middle of buying a new house, and he couldnt run his credit. I was on a time-crunch, so I asked my mother and she agreed. She never paid anything on the apartment, though. It was just me. Now shes asking me, her now 20-year-old son, to sign for her apartment. Not as a guarantor, but as the full owner of the apartment, when, honestly, I barely make enough to afford the one I have now. Naturally, because she helped me before, I would feel guilty not doing the same for her, but honestly, Im just not comfortable with it. She called me about 2 weeks ago asking about the apartment out of nowhere. My first reaction was to say no, but my guilt got the better of me so I reluctantly said yes. I gave her the go-ahead. But then, 2 days ago, she mentions to me for the first time that the lease would be completely under my name, and that I would have to take a trip down to my hometown to physically sign the lease. Knowing full well that I was about to leave to go on a Thanksgiving trip with my father, and the timing would not work. Honestly, I just want to tell her no, but I just dont know if this is morally justifiable. What would you do?  <response>: No. No no no. A million times no. Your description of your mother is full of red flags and unless you want a hit to your credit that will last for 7 years, do not do it.Normally I would be a little bit more sympathetic for family, but based on your description of your mother and my personal experiences, NO.
