My mom didn't even stop doing this when I quit being little. She took the 100 bucks I got for my 16th birthday because "there was no sweat off my ass to earn it".

Mine went to a savings account. I never got my birthday money and I thought it all went away until I realized I had 6 grand in the bank from birthdays, graduations, and everytime I did a huge work job that my parents took all that money.

Were all your parents drug addicts or something?

My mom said it was to "reimburse the party costs"

My mom used my free childhood money to pay our babysitter. When I got my first paycheck, my mom tried to get me to give her the money for "safe keeping" like she always did. I told her, I'll just put it into my bank account.

Am I the only person who's money went straight to wallet for about a week until it was spent?

I used to host birthday parties at an amusement park and I saw parents pocket their kid's birthday money all the time and turn to their adult friends and tell them how they were gonna spend it.

I would have been like "bullshit give me my money"

Whenever my dad would send me and my siblings money for birthdays, my mom would usually use it on bills, and you can't really protest that without seeming selfish.

Fuck.. Most of the money I got from 11- was going to 'college savings' or 'safe keeping' and now I wonder what they did with it...

I kept a record of everything and brought it up whenever we went shopping. I was a pretty devious little child.
