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, 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, 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

I don't think its illegal for the mom to open OPs mail if OP is a minor. Lots of kids actually get things like credit card applications and other bone headed things that minors shouldn't get in the mail. Parents are presumed to be able to act on their childrens behalf. Unfortunately, OPs mother didn't. The stealing part is probably legally questionable too. Both actions are morally wrong though.
