At work and only change from my change jar. Mom took money out of it while at work. I really don't know what she used the money for. Just feels wrong and disrespectful.

What do you feel on the question.

I think for the discomfort of pregnancy, the pain of childbirth and all the care she provided for you through the years you can allow mom a little change now and again don't you?

still wrong to take it without your permission/blessing. Sorry, she is a thief. I'd be upset too.

I borrow money from my kids sometimes (like if I need correct change) even if they are not home. And I always pay them back. They would borrow money from my wallet if needed and offer to pay me back, and I wouldn't be upset, so it goes both ways.

So the mom took a bit of change for coffee or whatever. Ask the mother what happened to the change and move on with life, geez. Maybe the mother should ask why there's food missing from the fridge?

The OP did not ask for the "sacrifices" that the mom chose to make. She is not entitled to just take without asking.


That said,

OP, why are you living with your mom? How old are you? And do you pay rent?

Some people (like T.Damon) think that anything goes because she is your Mom.

I would be angry too...but I paid my mom rent when I lived with her, and IMO she was not entitled to anything extra.

The OP recently posted about living at home, at 30, because he couldn't pay his rent. And his mother is paying his cell phone bill.

Now you want to feel violated because she helped herself to some change?

Ask your mom for the Chuck E. Cheese tokens back and call it a day.
