She's crafty

Today, my husband and I were fighting over money. As we were arguing, our 13 year-old daughter stole $250 dollars from my purse. FML

Merry Christmas from your brat of a child.

No, I do not know what you mean. Please elaborate.

he's making a crappy joke about killing her or putting her up for adoption or something

15 - I'm going out on a limb here and assuming you're from the US when I say this, but... Do you not watch the news?!

I hope you punished her OP. If my 13 year old son did that, I would have donated his presents to Toys for Tots

is she friends with the trash can pyro?

Yes because people don't have minds of their own or free will. Every bad thing anyone had ever done is because of their parents. I suppose yours were responsible for your quick to judge comment.

You can be the greatest parent in the world and have a kid grow up to be a criminal. OP doesn't deserve it at all

Well, they were fighting over money in front of their kid. Not the greatest parents in my humble opinion.

It doesn't say they were fighting in front of the kid. And since the girl managed to steal $250 out of OP's purse I think it is fairly safe to asume that they thought the daughter was elsewhere, like hiding in her room like most 13 year olds do when at home.

How do you know they were fighting while she was present? My 13 year old stays in his room 95% of the time.

#47 grow up to be a criminal perhaps. But a 13 yr old stealing $250 from mums wallet is not a sign of great parents. OP - and you judging by your comment - should start taking responsibility

My parents had a very emotionally volatile last few years of marriage and a heated divorce and I heard everything, even though I was usually always in my room. For this reason I'm going to make a huge effort to avoid getting into a heated argument with my future husband if the children are at home, regardless of whether I think they're in their room or asleep or whatever. OP and her husband might not have been that loud, but if they were loud enough for their daughter to hear (and then take advantage of the situation by stealing money), then that's not right, regardless of where the daughter was in the house. IMO.

I was gonna say why would a 13 year old need a phone, and then I remembered the main problem is why does a 13 year old need $250.

I've had a phone since I was 11, but it was a cheap flip phone from Fido so I could use it for emergencies, not an iPhone 5s so I could play Candy Crush. Granted those didn't exist back then, but judging from the actions of this brat of a little girl I'm assuming that would be her first phone.

my kid will start out with a flipphone like I had to.

@97 I wouldn't plan on there being many flip phones around when your kids are old enough. There seems to be less and less sold in stores.

She's practicing for life on the streets. Hopefully you get your money problems sorted out before then, OP.

Maybe she thinks getting rid of the problem will stop the arguing.
