Birthday, Thief and Money: Embezzlement

Embezzlement

By Username - 06/01/2011 07:49

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 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 found a gift card under my bed that I lost a few months ago for $400 to a store that went out of business last week. 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 had a baby shower. When it was over, I walked around cleaning up the trash. I saw a card sitting on the table, along with a note to my mom saying, "Better luck with this one." At the moment I'm an only child, and the card was from my grandmother. FML

Today, I got a birthday card in the mail from my aunt. I got all excited when I saw a cheque inside, but the cheque was addressed to the wrong name. Not only did my own aunt forget my name, I couldn't even bank the $60. FML

Today, I spent all day at the hospital with my grandma for some tests. When I drove her back home she decided to thank me with $50. Knowing she is unemployed, I told her I couldn't take a whole $50. She replied with "Ungrateful, just like your mother", then took the money and left. FML

Today, I enjoyed a lovely family dinner, but my irritating grandma kept trying to buy my purse off me, and kept picking it up to look at it. When I got home I realized all my cash and cigarettes were gone. FML

parents like these really make me mad. they think that just because the child received money as a gift means that they think they have the right to take it. thats one of the reasons why I always ask for cash at hand instead of a check and I can just hide the money in my room without my parents knowing. I already hid $150 and my parents can't get to it :)

Odd I send my kids checks so that their mother can't just keep the cash, you can see when your check gets cashed and make sure it made it to the kids.

Wouldn't recommend it but you could just steal some money back right out of her purse.

Just get it back and tell your mom you want honesty on why she took it an4 lied about it.. My mom pulled a stunt like that once and i told her she had to ask if she needed money not just steal it and lie about it..
