Conned by my own mother
When I was just 15, my parents and I took a trip to Las Vegas (my sister lived there and just had a baby). Since I looked closer to 20, mother and I were able to go to the casinos and play the slots together. I'm not big on losing money so I played the 5 cent slots and it really didn't amount to much if I lost.

As it got later and later in the evening and I got tired, my mother kindly offered to continue playing my money for me while I went up to the room to sleep.

The next day, my mother hands me $100 and tells me that was my winnings by the time she was finished. As I had started the evening gambling on only $2, I was thrilled with my $98 profit.

It wasn't until about 10 years later that mother let it slip that my winnings were over $250 by the time she finished gambling with my money. She gave me $100 and pocketed the rest. Her reasoning was "a 15 year old wouldn't know what to do with that much money...and besides, you were so pleased with the $100 that I wasn't going to tell you the truth"


My own mother cheated me out of more than $150.........jeez.

You'll get the last laugh.
It will be up to you to select her nursing home.

Point that out and see if she forks it over.

hey
she spent the best part of a decade literally wiping up your shit.

$150 pales in comparison, really.

well.....
pointed out the nursing home thing......didn't work as well as I had hoped.

as for the wiping poop......apparently she spent 3 years changing my diapers but plans to need her diapers changed for at least 6 when she gets a bit older. I told her that without that money, I'm not sure I'll be able to afford a competent person to wipe her butt......hehehe

at least it gives us something to argue over and tease each other about
