Kids: Today, after weeks of money slowly disappearing from the stash...

Today, after weeks of money slowly disappearing from the stash in my bedroom, I confronted my son about it. I'm not sure which is worse: that my son is a thief or that he actually blamed his father for it. We've been divorced and haven't spoken for eight years. FML

Today, I invited my deadbeat dad over for dinner, hoping we could resolve our issues and build a proper relationship. Just minutes after he arrived, I caught him stealing money from my purse. He actually said I owe him for raising me. He ditched my mom and me when I was 5. FML

Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML

Today, my son got in an argument with my boyfriend, packed up his stuff, and moved in with his dad. Not five minutes later I saw my boyfriend doing his stupid happy dance. When angrily confronted, he admitted he orchestrated every argument for months until he got the result he wanted, my son gone. FML

Today, my son is an idiot, but I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt by giving him a job as a cashier in one of my stores. Within half an hour, I was sent security footage from that store's manager showing my son on his phone, ignoring customers, picking his nose, and stealing money from the till. FML

Today, it's been thirteen years since I divorced my husband for being too hard on our son. Since then, he's remarried and had two beautiful, well-behaved kids. My son, meanwhile, is a thieving hellion who doesn't care about anything but himself, and my ex wants nothing to do with him. FML

Today, after spending 6 months and $15,000 on lawyer fees at my 13 year old son's request, his abusive, alcoholic father no longer has any legal right to see him. How did my son repay me? He ran away to live with his father the very first time I told him he couldn't have friends sleep over. FML

Today, my mom accused me of stealing money from her purse. Being totally innocent, I reminded her that the only other person with access to it is her boyfriend. She said she trusts him because she loves him. They've been dating for two months. I've been her daughter for 25 years. FML

Today, I found out why my son has been working out and taking martial arts classes. It was so he could beat his stepbrother up and put him in the hospital, as revenge for stealing his secret cash supply, over £4000. I'm too old and too tired for this. FML

Discipline should be in order. Seriously, who steals money from their own parents?

I used to. Never got caught either. Told my parents last year! I'm 35 years old. They laughed. Moral of the story? Be sneakier than they can possibly imagine you are.

You'd be surprised. Not all kids have respect for their parents or consideration in the fact their parents spent time and energy working for it. Especially if the kid wants to buy something and has been told no, doesn't have enough, or isn't old enough to get a job, ect. I used to steal from my dad's stash of cash in the dresser between the ages of 5 and 12. If you know where it is, then it's also pretty easy to do it and not care while you're still immature.

how old is your son? if he's 8 that's a funny kid if he's a teen or older then that's bad parenting

15 why does it have to be bad parenting? could be that the son is just a loser and an ass. I'm the middle son and my parents raised me and my two brothers the same way. I have a successful career own my own place etc while both my brothers are complete losers. so obviously kids can turn out bad even when the parents are great parents. it comes down to personal choices

Each kid is different, you can't raise every kid the same way. That's why parenting is hard.

At first sight, I misread this FML and wondered why you'd keep your money in your mustache. But seriously OP, Fyl, I'd stay away from your son until he does something major to make up for it.

Beat him with a belt. Once you take money from your parents, all bets are off. I would never do that. Steal money from the person who takes care of you?!

maybe it has something to do with you not speaking to his father for eight years..

beat his ass. take it back to the days of making him grab a switch off a tree so you can whoop his ass with it. **** being passive. kids lack real discipline these days.
