<prompt> Human: Alright lets just get some things out of the way. Since I am a minor she had to be the one to permit me to have this account. When I went to the bank and made this account they gave my mother a card for the account and myself a card. It was a checking and saving account but currently only checking because Im an idiot and didnt have any money in my saving account so it closed. Anyway my mom has asked me if she could put her child support payments in my account for a little bit because of stuff going on with my step dad. She cant open up any new accounts she says because of stuff that my step dad did. Im assuming that she is negative in her accounts and just isnt paying them. Its not like she is spending my money either its just a pain in the butt because I have to watch what I spend in MY ACCOUNT so I dont spend any of her money. Im just confused on what to do because Ive asked her repeatedly to stop using my account and she says she would try to open an account somewhere but she hasnt and I dont think I can do anything since Im a minor. My mother suggested I just give her my account and take my name off of it and we just open up a new one with my name in it. But its like I shouldnt be having to do that because of her mess upsher not being able to open an accountAlso: I am turning 18 in august and typing this on my phone so please excuse mistakes.  <response>: Okay, she helped you open an account for yourself since youre a minor. Its your account by virtue, but its not technically your own account since youre not 18. Shes not spending your money, and shes essentially using her own account while shes in a tight spot in life. Its kind of a hassle to have to track the amount in the account so that you dont spend any of her money, I get that, but most places have apps and stuff and its not terribly difficult to stay up to date on it.I just dont see a great injustice here, help your mom out and let her use the account until August and then simply open your own.
