Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found out my mother-in-law sold a precious family heirloom and gambled away the money. FML
Today, I got home and found my kids playing with my coin collection. My wife told me to stop being grouchy because it’s not like they’re silver and gold. No, but they were all mint condition, some of them very rare, and every scratch the kids just put on them has halved their value or worse. FML
Today, I discovered that my parents rooted through our house looking for junk to sell at a garage sale. They sold all of my books from my bookshelf. When I freaked, out my mom said 'well you never read them'. There was about $300 hidden between the pages of those books. They made $60. FML
Today, my mom sold my watch collection on Vinted. I've spent over 15 years on the collection and I don't even live with my mom. I'm still wondering how she got in. FML
Today, I was at work when my mother called. She gave me great news that she had finally cleaned out my room and all those "old and useless" books that I had in there. Those "useless" books that she had just trashed were all antiques and worth about $500 each. There were 27 books in there. FML
Today, I came home and was greeted by my dad telling me that he pawned my guitar for gas money. FML
Today, I decided I'd sell an old motorcycle I had, in order to help with the bills. I had to be at work at the time when an interested buyer was to show up, so I entrusted my mother with the exchange as she's unemployed. Mom pocketed the money and bought a new freezer for her house, and won't pay me back. FML
Today, my mother sold my extensive Star Wars collection, and I cried when I found out. I'm 46. FML
Today, I discovered that the ancient looking coin I dug up in my front yard is worth hundreds of dollars. Too bad I found that coin when I was eight years-old, and have since misplaced it. FML
Today, while paying for groceries, I opened my wallet to find that all my cash had been exchanged for Monopoly money. FML

If you have (had) coins worth that much, why are you living at home with mom?

If someone sold my coin collection, they wouldn't be alive right now. Ignorant people shouldn't touch collections.

I would file a police report against her. Pawn shops cannot legally take stolen merchandise. So they should have to give it to the authorities and the. They will give it back to u.

I voted both , if they were that valuable they should have been In a saftey deposit box or a quality safe that ur mom does NOT KNOW the combination to. I would take her or the shop to small claims for selling stolen goods .That still regardless sucks, FYL.

God, are you really suggesting that children should keep everything that's valuable in locked boxes so that our parents can't steal it?

Have you read FML? Parents pull that type of thing all of the time apparently.

Parents and money should be kept away from each other as much as possible
