My mother always takes money from where I stash my savings. The only difference between your mother and mine, OP, is that my mother doesn't open my mail, ensure that I do not see said mail, and then lie to her mother in order to take my money without my consent; my mother leaves a note that says "IOU $[amount]" (signed "Mom" with little hearts), verbally tells me as soon as possible, and has me check to make sure she counted right. (Well, at least, until a few months ago. She's started acting all bitchy because I've begun to express love towards my father [whom she... intensely dislikes, to put it in kinder terms]; she used $70 of my money on a purchase and refuses to give it back because 'she's my mother'. I'm not lending her money ever again; I've changed the combination to my vault.) Anyways... Call your grandmother and expose her daughter for the underhanded scum (no offense intended) she is.

that's horrible :(

I say whenever your mom gives your future kids a gift card with money in it, you take the money, dispose of the letter and tell your mom there was a mix up on the mail. Except make sure you burn the letter lol.

my grandma recently told me that same thing happened to me when I was little but I don't remember it and I didn't find the card. but I know my mom would have taken the money.

that pisses me off when parents do things like that!

******* parents

lol this reminds me of that family guy episode where chris sets up a camera when he slept and his mom stole money from his wallet

wow that sucks!!! STEAL IT BACK !!

lol I'm in Australia so it's "Mum"..

Thats really ****** up!!! Go get that shit back. If she needed it that bad the least she could of done was asked u for it. What she did was just rude.
