Today, after a little detective work, I found out the money that recently went missing from my college fund was transferred by my mother, to her own account. She claims it's to pay a parking ticket. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I didn't know they fined people over $3,500 for a parking violation. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
Today, I slipped money into my mother's purse after she refused to let me pay for lunch. She caught me in the act and thought I was stealing money from her instead. FML
Today, I learned that my daughter pocketed the money I'd paid so she could go to college. FML
Today, I got a $60 parking ticket for not paying the $2.50 pay-to-park fee. I checked my bank records, which proved that I'd paid the fee, for the correct space too. The problem is the fine is too small to contest in traffic court. FML
Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. FML
Today, I discovered my own mother has been stealing money from me for months when I opened my savings box to find it empty. FML
Today, after finding $50 on the sidewalk this morning and feeling like the luckiest person alive, I got a parking ticket for $60. FML
Today, I got a ticket for "suspicious driving" because my total shit of a mother kept tugging on the wheel to annoy me, and I still had to pay it. FML
Today, I found out my mother drives my car. I was okay with it; I don't use it all the time and she's my mother. However, I was not okay with the multiple speeding tickets that came through in the post. "You're the registered keeper, so why should I pay?" FML
Today, I found out that a single unpaid parking ticket from September put my student account on hold and unregistered me from all my spring classes. I'm a senior and this is my last semester. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Get separate accounts maybe?

Not everyone can open their own account, so they normally co-sign with a parent

How hard is it to open a bank account? A single piece of ID (foreign or domestic) and a couple dollars to put in and you're set.

Ask her why it would cost that much to pay a parking ticket. sucks that you lost education money though.

I'm not in any way educated in this, but isn't that illegal in some way? It doesn't seem like she could get away with it. (sorry if I'm talking out of my bum)

I would think this would only be legal if OP's mother put $3500 into the account.

If her mum is on the account, she can do whatever she likes with no reason given. If she were not on the account, she wouldn't have been able to make the transfer. This does not apply to *some* education savings accounts. In that case, the mother might have to pay a fine for withdrawing the money for purposes other than education but it's still not illegal. Banks tend to avoid doing illegal things when possible.

Call her up and say, "Hello mother, i realize today is Mother's Day... look outside your house and within 5mins there will be a police car awaiting you, I love you, Happy Mother's day!"

who saved that money you or her sounds like it to me that she can do anything with her money she pleases. you should be thankful she has helped you this much. if you saved it then yes that would suck.

So say I donate some money to a charity, and later, through a series of hijinks, find myself in jail. It would be perfectly alright for me to somehow take that money back so I can pay my bail, right? I'm saying hypothetically, I know you can't actually do that.
