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

Risky gamble

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.

Technically, that's stealing

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

Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML

Why didn't you send your mom back to retrieve it? And whenever I deposit that much money, I make sure to go to an actual bank.

If your mother is senile/dumb enough to do something like that you would already know about it, so why would you trust $1, 200 to her? Is it really so hard to go to a bank?

$2400 a month is enough for a person to have their own decent apartment/house and live on there own. It's time to take responsibility for yourself and not rely on your mother to do your chores.

Not in Australia. 1,200 is just enough to get by on, particularly in cities where the cost of living is even higher. She's probably also a uni student. I personally think that it is more financially respsonsible to live at home and build up your savings whilst you are at uni, rather then constantly struggling for years. Also why is everyone calling her lazy etc? there are so many reasons she may have been unable to do it and just didnt bother including it in the story due to the word limit. She could have been sick or busy, i know that I'm rarely free when the banks are open - she could have been on her way to work and her mum was going to the bank anyway. Also, it was obviously a one off thing as she needed to explain it to her mum, are you seriously telling me that no one on here has ever asked their parents for a favour?
