Well, my mom just stole $52 from me. I told my dad, and he's not doing shit about it. This isn't the first time my mom has taken money from me either. Now how do I go about getting it back without stealing it back?

She took it 3 days ago, and yesterday she needed money from me, so that means she already went out and spent it.
 
Just tell your mum you're pissed with her. Don't steal it since she puts a roof over your head :dave:

If this is a regular problem look to hide your money better. It could just be that she really needs the money for something important (maybe bills, etc..) which could be why your dad won't do anything.
 
If your mom stole money from you then she had a pretty darn good reason for stealing it, although she should have asked... there's nothing you can do about it.
 
the thing was, I was fighting with my dad, and I took the money out of my pocket, and didn't have time to put it where i usually do. It's usually locked up in a cashbox that needs a key to open it.
 
So it fell on the ground? you lost it? Keepers Finders and FInders Keepers
 
but it was in my room, on with things I bought with my own money. This isn't the first time she's stolen money from me either.
 
Man that awfull...sorry to hear that..
 
I suppose the only thing you can do is bite the bullet and accept you're not seeing that money again. Doesn't mean you have to forget about it but just accept you have to hide your money better and if she can pay you back some time in the future great, if she can't..
 
I'm not 100% sure because I don't know your personal life, but I'd definitely tell her you're not happy about it, make her know she upset you doing it. If she doesn't seem to care, let it drop. Leave it. If she's done that to you, then it's not worth bothering her with. If you really want it back, get something done about it, maybe?
 
hell no, that money was earned, I worked hard for that money. And some of it was from my grandparents.

Aom, that's the thing. My mom isn't going to give it back, she's going to deny it or smack me, so I'm really not sure if I can ask.

EDIT: And what could I have done?
 
What you do, is tell her what's up, since you earned that money. If she hits you, get her ass arrested for stealing and child abuse. She should know better than to just steal money from her own family.

What she said. Keeping bad blood isn't worth it. Let it go, hide your money properly, remind her everytime she has money that she owes you money and tell your dad to fix his attitude.
 
Well, if you can, you might want to think about opening a savings account and keeping your personal information private so no one but yourself can have access. If you cannot do that for financial/other reasons, I would suggest being more careful about what you do with your cash instead of just dropping it on the floor since, obviously, it is going to be stolen if you leave it lying around.

If anything, I would first avoid confrontation. You know she's going to deny taking it. You know how she's going to react, so unless you have any chance of making a point, it's probably best to just drop it and figure out a way to prevent this from happening again.
 
I agree with most everybody else. Honestly, I see no way for you to get the money back without adding a dose of drama that you probably don't want. Hid the money better and take the loss this time. I know it's probably not what you hear, but sometimes that's what's best.

I hope it doesn't happen again.
 
Here's a good idea. Keep track of all the money that you've earned. If you've studied any management or accounting courses, what they teach you is a good way of keeping track of your money. The idea is that you have to write an entry every time a transaction occurs (debit or credit), and they must balance in the end--if they don't, you're missing money, or there's a problem with your calculations or missing entries. Then, if you have some money missing, and you know that your mom stole some money from you, charge her. Write up some IOU or something similar and have a record that shows that she does owe you money. If she refuses to pay you, you can charge interest...
And if it's getting out of hand, you may have to bring the law into it. At the very least, you have a record of the money you've earned.
 
Aww, sorry to hear that Zack =/

Like others have said, its obvious that your mom's not going to give it back and your dad isn't doing anything about it.

I'd go bout it the respectful way. Let her know that you're upset, and tell her that if she needs money ask first instead of taking it for her self.

Let her know that you earned that cash and that you would like it if she would pay her back.

If it all fails, just hide it more efficiently.
 
It's your mom...

If it was someone other than the woman who nursed you in her womb for 9 months then put food and a shelter over your head, I'd say get your $52 dollars back.

It's $52 dollars. Suck it up and put your shit in a bank account next time. Live and learn.
