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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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 got a birthday card in the mail from my aunt. I got all excited when I saw a cheque inside, but the cheque was addressed to the wrong name. Not only did my own aunt forget my name, I couldn't even bank the $60. FML
Today, I won $20 on a scratch ticket my grandma bought me. She wants it back. 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

My mother always takes money from where I stash my savings. The only difference between your mother and mine, OP, is that my mother doesn't open my mail, ensure that I do not see said mail, and then lie to her mother in order to take my money without my consent; my mother leaves a note that says "IOU $[amount]" (signed "Mom" with little hearts), verbally tells me as soon as possible, and has me check to make sure she counted right. (Well, at least, until a few months ago. She's started acting all bitchy because I've begun to express love towards my father [whom she... intensely dislikes, to put it in kinder terms]; she used $70 of my money on a purchase and refuses to give it back because 'she's my mother'. I'm not lending her money ever again; I've changed the combination to my vault.) Anyways... Call your grandmother and expose her daughter for the underhanded scum (no offense intended) she is.

I say whenever your mom gives your future kids a gift card with money in it, you take the money, dispose of the letter and tell your mom there was a mix up on the mail. Except make sure you burn the letter lol.
