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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that when my parents said they couldn't afford gifts for us kids, what they really meant was that they weren't buying a gift for me. I found this out when I overheard my father telling my uncle about the things he got my siblings. FML
Today, my mom told me I was a bad daughter because I didn't get anything for my parents' anniversary. I just sent my brother a check for $400 for my share of their gift. FML
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
Today, I gave over $100 to my online friend in presents for Christmas, only to find out he can't use any because of his strict parents. FML
Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. 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, I found out that when my uncle died, he left me and the rest of my family £2000 each. Only my parents kept and spent my share on themselves. 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, I discovered my mom has been using my credit card to buy everyone's Christmas presents. FML

@ #9-Parents are obligated to feed their children and provide a roof over their heads. It does not justify stealing. It's too bad Santa couldn't bring OP a new family for Christmas.

Stop being a selfish little bastard

Dude. I don't know what kind of ******-up alternate crack reality you come from, but You. Don't. Steal. Other. People's. Presents. I'm pretty sure you're not Reverse Santa, so you have no excuse for saying that. I bet that $500 would be spent on some useless, ephemeral crap. A good computer (and I think $500 would buy a good computer if you shopped smart) would be incredibly useful.

Yes, I'm sure in your little fantasy world you would have beaten your parents. Then they would have turned you into the police for assault and then disowned you, all over $500. Right.

38- You never know. There are plenty of cases where kids killed their parents over stupid reasons.

You should talk to your parents. The options are they are selfish people who don't care about you or they are having serious financial difficulties. If you are like some spoiled people I know, even if your parents explained they needed the money to keep their home, you would still define it as "stealing". If your parents are like some people I know, they figured you owed them that money and are planning a vacation without you. It could easily go either way so just talk to them.

I suppose either would work. A computer loaded with malware will go slow and make them mad.

Did they steal the money and buy a computer, or was the money given to you so you could buy one for yourself? Either way your parents are jerks.

I'm pretty sure that OP's grandparents gave her $500, and her parents stole it to buy a computer. Otherwise, her grandparents would have just bought her a computer.
