Today, I gave my mother a pre-prepared deposit envelope with my fortnightly wage in it, in cash. I tell her exactly where the deposit box is and what to do. I'm now desperately calling the bank because my mother accidentely put my $1200 deposit in the little trash can for receipts under the ATM. FML

Today, my mother asked me if she could borrow $200. Being the lovely daughter I am, I gave her my bank card to withdraw it herself. She gambled it away and maxed my bank account out. I had $1500 saved. FML
Today, I figured out the bank account my mom set up for me is actually a joint account, and she gets half the money I deposit. I have been putting money in there for 10 years. 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, my mother, who religiously checks her bank account after every purchase, then shreds her receipts, got fed up with me not doing the same. So she shredded all my piled up receipts. These include the 100s of dollars I had spent for my work, which I need the receipts to get reimbursed for. FML
Today, my nosy mom opened my mail and saw how much I have in my account. She confiscated my debit card because she’s convinced no one could save that much working part time at Burger King and is demanding I confess where so much money came from. I'm moving out. Fuck her. FML
Today, I did the most idiotic thing someone living with their parents could possibly do. I made a separate online casino account in my mom's name (just her name, my email, phone number, etc.) When I deposited from my bank account, the site got suspicious, and is now making me and her sign a document to get the money out. FML
Today, I told my mom about the $50 I'd hidden in case of an emergency, and how I couldn't find it. She said she'd borrowed it last week. 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 got home from work to I find my cash box open and empty. My mom walked up and said, "If you have a lock that easy to pick, you don't deserve the money." There was 650 dollars in there. She refuses to give it back. FML
Today, the bank called saying we were late in the mortgage payments. I was puzzled because three months ago I issued a big cheque to my mum pay off the mortgage. I just discovered that she instead lost it all at the casino. Turns out, she's become a compulsive gambler ever since dad passed away. FML

you are calling her a "dumbass" but your refer to a big sum of money as "shit"..... whats with all these people saying YDI just because she didn't not perform this task herself. there could be so many reasons for this. there have been many days when i gave my mum a big sum to deposit because it was on the way for her and i was doing a 19 hour shift.

You should have gone yourself. Your money, your responsibility.

You're ******* stupid, honestly. Why the **** would you give your mom 1,200 DOLLARS when you could have waited an extra day instead of being a lazy **** and asking your mom to take your responsibilities. I hope the bank doesn't reimburse you for your stupidity. Dumb bitch. YDI.

$1200au isn't alot for a fortnightly wage, unskilled job because you failed at school because you come from a stupid family?

Maybe $1,200 is the remainder after paying bills, buying groceries, etc... can't always assume that we're financially better off just because we can afford to spend time commenting on other people's misfortunes.

uh she could also be a uni student? I earn around that much a fortnight (yes we say fortnight in Australia) which is around 17/hour whilst studying full time. So its pretty unfair to assume she is unskilled and failed school - for all you know, she could be better educated than you.

I feel that women should be flattered by the fact that everyone seems to be assuming it is a man who is stupid enough to this...it clearly says the OP is a woman...
