Hey everyone, OP here. Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes. I called my friends and got it rescheduled for Saturday luckily, although one or two might not be able to. As for my mom, she had a joint account with me due to when I was 17, and I just haven't gotten to it to change it to just me when I turned 18 last year, because she usually never does this. My mom does seem to like my brother more than me which is a little messed up but she usually respects me and treats me very well. She's a nice person and decent parent, but a little weird sometimes. She didn't have any money to spend on his birthday due to just paying rent for the month with her paycheck. She did however have no right to use my money or cancel my plans. That was uncalled for and definitely not right. As for the gun itself as a present to my brother, he's turning 23 and just got back from a year deployment to Germany. She wanted to do something special for him and he really wanted a mosin nagant rifle for a couple years now. I would have bought it for him honestly if. she asked because I get paid tomorrow. I hope that answers all your questions!

It's not her money she can't make that decsion. Go out without her
Happy Birthday OP. Sorry your mom is an ass. My mom always out my brother before me, from birth to her death. I have no baby pictures unless he in the pic, she favored him when he came back into our lives at 18. took him to dinner, etc while i sat at home wondering where she is. She committed suicide in May, and I found out, she and my brother were making plans of moving without me to Virginia. So, I definitely understand your issue of being the underdog. I hope your birthday got better and your dinner goes great. From one Virgo to another. happy birthday
Happy Birthday, OP. Glad to read you managed to reschedule, and that you are getting your own separate account. I can somewhat understand her wanting to do something especially nice for your brother since he's been overseas, but certainly not with your money. You are clearly a good "kid" - even willing to buy the gun had you simply been asked. And blatant favoring from a parent sucks. I hope your brother is at least a cool guy.
clearly the sane thing to do is buy the gun and shoot your mother.. I mean America amirite
Use your money for a birthday gift? And a gun? Is that common where you live or something?
go change bank accounts

Not legally supposed to give a gun as a present anyway can get in bring trouble
Not in the states
If I'm correct, the Moisn is an antique gun from WW2 I may be wrong, but if I'm not, is that just as bad?
How rude of her. Take your money and run
It is a good idea to have another person on your bank account should an emergency ever arise. However, it may be time to reconsider just who that joint account holder should be.
Well you've still got time so hopefully you haven't given her the money, text everyone saying it is indeed happening and your mother is a liar, don't invite your mother (or do to embarrass her) and continue with your birthday dinner, hopefully everyone can contend.
Ignore this, I can't delete my own comment.

Excuse me but WHAT? That is insane and hide your money. Some mothers are just crazy and very bad at that parenting thing.
Do what you want with your own money. Even though your mom cancelled your big dinner, you can still reschedule. And as for her, tell her she can buy the gun with her own money!
