Today, I found out that my grandma has been sending me birthday money every year. My mom just steals it before I ever see it. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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, I discovered my mom has been using my credit card to buy everyone's Christmas presents. FML
Today, I found out my mom has notebooks with lists of everything she has bought for me ever since I was born. Apparently she is going to make me pay her back for all the money she spent on me once I'm an adult. FML
Today, I found out why I haven't been getting my bank statements for the past couple of months. My parents have been hiding them from me, because they've been stealing from it. FML
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 stole my holiday money because she found it “near her bag” in my kitchen and “assumed it was hers” and she must have “forgotten it was in there all this time.” I demanded it back, but she’d already spent it on hair, nails, shoes, and a date night with dad. She won’t pay me back either. FML
Today, I came home from work to find my grandmother in my living room, demanding to know where I'd been all day. I'm 22 and live by myself. She stole my mother's emergency key to get in. FML
Today, I realized that not only did my parents not get me anything for Christmas, they also stole the $500 my grandparents gave me to buy a computer. FML
Today, I found out all the money my dad has been saving in the bank for me since birth has all been spent, by my mother who I haven't seen or talked to in about two years. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So you're 12 then, which means either you haven't had you birthday yet OR you don't know what year you were born... 1998+12=2010 we're in 2011 so if you'd had your birthday THIS YEAR you'd be 13. MATH FAIL!!!!

fyl, what a bitch. tho I suppose u have to think if she really needed money? still, she should have asked u or at least told u. she wouldn't like it if it was the other way round would she?

Are you sure she steals it, or, are you just mad that she's saving it?. . .I'm going to assume that the later is true because teenagers typically make mountains out of mole hills and you're just angry that you don't see the money, yet. Any birthday money I was sent from far away from the time I was born until I was 18 I didn't see at all, and my money never told me about any of it. Turns out she put it all in a savings account for me and I ended up having a nice $4,500 down payment on a car when I needed it

I chose to save all my birthday money from the age of about 10 and it paid my solicitors fees to buy my first house (Aged 22). My brother spent all of his birthday money as and when he got it, my grandparents bought him a car. Seem a little unfair to you? lol

well, regardless of what she's doing with it, it's not her money. it's not her place to decide where it goes.

It's still OP's money from his grandmother. If his grandmother wanted to put birthday money into buying him a car, that is her decision. Not the mother's. Granny clearly wanted OP to have some spending money for right now and OP's mom should have respected that.

oh shut up.... get over it...no of this FML. stuff... u under 18 right? then shut it...who buys u clothes,food, extra things, have a roof over your head, the pc or phone u r on....think about that before u think your life sucks!

Irrelevant, OP's grandma sent OP money expecting it to go to THEM not their mother! If's she's saving it (as # 125 said) fair enough but if not it doesn't matter who pays the bills etc etc she has STOLEN money that OP's GRANDMOTHER sent in good faith that it would get to OP. If she feels the need to steal birthday money from OP I doubt they have a life of luxury so OP's life probably does suck!

#116 getting pregnant, at any age, doesn't make you a ****. How ******* ignorant are you? Feel free to enter the 21st Century with the rest of us.
