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 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?

does it matter if it's a good hiding place you shouldn't steal from your parents.

it's weird that he did it an age where you remember the amount of money you had. it'd be a whole lot smarter to do that when you're at the age where you forget the little things. not that I encourage or approve of the son's actions or anything of the sort

Just because you haven't spoken to your ex in eight years doesn't mean your son hasn't.

If you noticed the money slowly disappearing, why didn't you move your stash of cash?

That money that he's been taking, has been used to buy his supply of hallucinogens. In his mind, his dads still there.

sorry to say it but you need to find another hiding place, and that place should be the bank.And have a serious talk to your son and find out way he stole the money . Ps I hope it wasn't for drugs or something much worst . please find out before it really gets out of control .

not everybody trusts banks, and it is actually smart to keep an emergency stash just in case.

just remember dumb ass what comes around , goes around, and please let me come over and steal your hard earned money that you worked for , since you don't believe in banks. And then you will see how happy that you put your money in the bank. Just maybe she was saving something that she really wanted and turns arounds and it's gone seriously how would you feel if that happened to you? Please get your head out of the sand and see that her great son is a thief and he needs a serious talking to . Or better yet wait until you have children and watch them steal from you and see what you would do ?
