It just happen yesterday, when my money got 'stolen'. Well, it's not got stolen it's just that my mum take it without my permission. Okay, here's the story.
Starting from mid of November my semester break started. At the same time I took a part time job at some local place. Ever since I started to work, I've been saving coins. It's really a hard work to save the coins until they about to reach 200 bucks. Then, the day before yesterday my mum told me she needed to borrow some money. Of course I didn't give my coins. I tried to think of another alternative to prevent me from using the coins. Then, yesterday I left 50 bucks in a coffee can before I went to work.
When I was at my workplace, my mum called and asked if she could borrow some money again. I told her to take the money from the coffee can. But to my surprise, when I'm home I saw a horrible scene. My coins, most of them vanished. I asked and my mum said she took it because there's none is the coffee can. I was really sad and mad at that time. She could tell me that there's no money in the can but she didn't. I became really mad at her because of what she had done.
If you were me, what would you do in this situation when all your hard work that's about to fruit being reap off from you?

That's really pissing off situation. I would be mad too, it's normal. Since we are grown up and adult people, we want to be more responsible and when we are, some of us wants more personal space. I can understand how you felt with the coins because it was so important for you to save the money from your own working, you cared for that coins and you wanted may be to forget about them, so you won't be teased to spend them.
It's not something good if our parents doesn't allow us to have personal space. It's the same with the parents of my boyfriend, even if we don't live with them from 6 months now, they call him every day many times, they ask about everything - what we eat, what we do.. and so on things. We are trying to handle the situation alone, to pay our bills, to have some money to support our daily expenses. It's hard for sure, but it doesn't allow to our parents to come in our personal space all the time.

Hi Suggar, I sure hope that at least she does say she will recover some it back. As you are right we all need out personal space and it is sort of an invasion.

From what I understands right now is having a personal space means having some time and room just for yourself. So, in this case my mum doesn't violate that terms. What she violated is my rights. My rights on the coins is superior to her but she didn't even ask permission from me to take the money.

Why does you think my mother worth all the money in the world? It is true that she's one of my parents that raise me up but it is still won't make her legible to take my money without my permission. It's not like she tried to discuss this matter beforehand. She just took it when I'm gone.

She did ask first but I suppose there was a miscommunication on her and your behalf as neither one of you expressed if she was to take some or all. So I suppose she figured she could.
I would say she was suppose to let you know she took all of it as how could she assume she could.
I so hope that you are not still feeling bad and that mom will recover some of it back.

No, I don't think there's a missed communication on that matter. What I think missed is the detail on the whereabout of the money that she can take because she said that at the time she look for the money in the coffee can, it was empty. She didn't even mention the condition of the matter before she took the coins. That's what makes me angry and sad.
