Ugh ew. My mother just admitted to having opened my personal drawer in order to check if "there's any more money in it"

That she is saving up for me. Like wtf? Why would you go through my things? just ask me if I have more money. So scummy to not trust me and to go through my things. I don't want to go to invest anymore. But I also have to swallow this because I have to cook something and need to buy ingredients with my dad with his money because all my money my mom's saved up and I don't have any cash on me. Shit like this is so double edged. Like I know she's saving up for me but also the way she does things is so infuriating.

Why is she saving up for you, instead of you saving up for you?

Like, I mean, if you were little, I would understand... but late 20s, I would be thinking you'd be doing it.

Are you sure you're going to get that money that she has taken back?

You might need a secret hiding place, she'll never look...

@Viper oh it's a cultural thing. For instance when I went to the investment office, the dude there tried to make an issue out of my documents, but when my dad stepped in, he shut up and did his job. They will just try to bother women and make things difficult for them somehow. So you need a man to accompany you for anything to do with money.

Keep a dildo and a porno in there. She'll stop touching your shit asap

@Longpatrol Are you speaking from personal experiences?

Something happens to some women after they have a child. They suddenly think normal rules of social etiquette no longer apply to them.

Find another place to keep your money. This is really weird.

At your age, there should be some boundaries and your mother should know that.
Even if you have more money, it's not her business to search for it. If you want her to know, you'd tell her.
Sounds like there is no privacy or respect.
