Today, I found the birthday card my grandma had mailed. Apparently, it contained a gift of $100. Too bad it was in my mom's trash can, opened, with no money. She told my grandma it must have gotten lost in the mail. FML

Today, it was my birthday. My grandma gave me a hug and a check after wishing me a happy birthday and walked away giggling. I was excited because it was the only gift I had gotten all day. Ten minutes later, I realized that it was actually just my tax refund. FML
Today, my mom had a baby shower. When it was over, I walked around cleaning up the trash. I saw a card sitting on the table, along with a note to my mom saying, "Better luck with this one." At the moment I'm an only child, and the card was from my grandmother. FML
Today, after mourning and making my girlfriend cancel her big birthday party, I found out my grandma didn't actually die. FML

Today, I spent all day at the hospital with my grandma for some tests. When I drove her back home she decided to thank me with $50. Knowing she is unemployed, I told her I couldn't take a whole $50. She replied with "Ungrateful, just like your mother", then took the money and left. FML
Today, I enjoyed a lovely family dinner, but my irritating grandma kept trying to buy my purse off me, and kept picking it up to look at it. When I got home I realized all my cash and cigarettes were gone. FML

Confront your mother and then pummel her until you get what you want.

wish I could say it was so, but I'm a mum and wouldn't dream of stealing from my son!

Good parenting :) Some parents think that their son/daughter "owes them." So they consider it okay to steal from them ~.~

I know I made 500 dollars cash once and was to young to get paid with a cheque so I told my parents to hold it for to days and they end up spending it.

My mother still feels entitled to my things, including my ex-husband. She always says that if it's mine, then it's hers as well. Some people have a very strange idea of what motherhood means. OP, I would confront her to get the money back. If she says no, then call grandma in to the situation. I'm sure that she would be pissed to find out that her daughter is a nasty thief.

Tell mom to hand over the cash or you ate telling grandma the truth. Also remind mom that interfering with mail delivery is a federal offense.
