Today, my son surprised me on my birthday with tickets to a concert I really wanted to see. I was excited, especially since I planned to buy them but couldn't due to the fact it was too expensive. I was ecstatic, until I found out he'd stolen my credit card to buy them. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found my concert tickets that I've been trying to find for the last 2 weeks in my mom's closet. When I asked why she had them, she said she felt the concert was inappropriate for me so she hid them. I'm 20. FML
Today, I found out my credit card was maxed out to the penny, all thanks to purchases made on an online wine store. Apparently my mother was thirsty enough to steal from her own son. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me Kings of Leon tickets for my birthday. Since he thought I was irresponsible, he gave the tickets to his mum so I wouldn't lose them. The show is today, and we can't find the tickets. FML
Today, I found out my son's dad stole his unemployment card and took the money. My son was homeless at the time and using his dad's address for mail. FML
Today, I bought my boyfriend two concert tickets for his birthday to see our favorite band, and he told me he doesn't feel he loves me. FML
Today, I found some charges on my credit card for two round trip tickets to Las Vegas. Turns out my daughter and her unemployed stoner boyfriend stole my credit card and flew to Vegas over the weekend to get married. I paid for my daughter's elopement. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I asked everyone for iTunes money, pleased to finally be able to buy some new songs for my iPod. After receiving several gift cards, I discovered that my iPod had been stolen. FML
Today, my son got an email saying he could win an iPad if he just entered his credit card number. He asked for mine, telling me that it was so he could buy some school supplies online, so I gave it to him. The internet just conned a credit card number out of a 17-year-old nitwit. And me. FML
Today, I turned on my boyfriend's computer and saw pictures of all of my credit cards, front and back, and several of my parent's credit cards. I looked in his e-mail and found receipts for items which had been billed to me and delivered to him, including golf clubs and my birthday gift. FML
Today, I learned why so much money has been missing from my credit card account. My boyfriend stole it, and has been buying toys for his 3 children. I never knew he had kids. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Box up something he has and give it to him for his birthday. If he's old enough to know how to use your card with all the correct info, he's old enough to know that's wrong.

That isn't a gift at all then.. I agree with #5, if he's old enough to know how to use the credit card to make purchases online I'm sure he knows it was wrong to do.

1- Beat the shit out of son. 2- Report card as stolen. 3- Attend concert with husband. 4- ??? 5- Profit

My bad, didn't realize OP didn't specify gender. I jumped the gun and assumed OP was a woman.

And that's when you ground your son until he pays you back for the tickets.

I see it this way: you were meant to go.

Ah, one minute they're crawling around in diapers, next minute they're using your credit cards. You must be so proud.

If the OP couldn't afford the ticket, what makes you think it was magically made affordable when the son used a credit card? Money isn't infinite.

Anyone else notice how OP starts two sentences back to back with ”I was excited.”?

Hmmm did you happen to check to see if there was also a payment to the card that you didn't make? If he was buying the ticket online he may have had to use a card and chances are he didn't actually have one. It's a long shot but you never know.

What? Did you even read the FML? It was OP's credit card. READ.

They are implying that maybe he put money on the card then bought the ticket. If he bought online, he may have needed a card and doesn't have one of his own. It's a long shot and probably isn't the case, but that's what this person was saying.
kristat 14
Yes, that's what I was implying. I even said myself that it was a long shot, but I always like to play devil's advocate.

Everybody is just assuming the kid is a teenager. The kid could have been younger and thought they were getting their mom something really nice. I think the mom should just explain how the kid shouldn't use her credit card and tell what punishments the kid will get if it happens again.

I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say it probably wasn't a child. How many children under the age of 13 (official teenage years) do YOU know who know what info goes where? I'm 17 and still have trouble figuring it out.

Uh, a few trips to the store can teach kids a lot
