I know i did. hehe, in the desparation in need of cash, i got money from my parent's wallet. I also need extra cash, because I really want to buy something but I don't have any money. I also asked them to buy me , but they don't want to. so I just decided to get money from their wallet. Also, when me and my friends go malling or girl's night out. I also get some for extra.. hihi :) I know its bad but i can't help it, I promise not to do it again.

Sorry I have not stolen money from my parents pocket. Whenever I needed money I always asked and parents gave me. So I never felt the necessity of stealing money. If we keep the control over expenses, then the need of stealing money will not arise. Please be careful about your children's need. Too much restrictions may force the children to take out money from wallet.

Most kids/teens have taken money from mommy or daddy at one point. With me they simply learned to hide their cash in some other spot than the wallet or purse. Smart parents are not born, they are created by their own children.

Yeah actually I have but I feel kind of guilty afterwards :-O I promise not to do it anymore but I think every teenager has done it at one point in their lives. I do not get allowance either hehe But when my parents give me money for the movies and to eat and stuff I always keep the change unless they ask me for it. hehe It is a smart plan, not really stealing since they gave it to me :-P Rated +.

Yeah.. i did it many times and in different ways.. sometimes if i really need money and i don't want to ask from my mother because i know she's not gonna give, i don't give her the change when she asked me to buy something.. i think most of us do it also especially when we were young isn't it? It's a slight offense.. Sometimes i cheat when i pay my tuition fee.. i ask for more.. she always ask for the receipt and i told her my allibies.. like, 'yeah im gonna give it to you later on.. until she forgot about it.' Sometimes i ask money from my mother for some reasons like i have a project but the truth is, i'm just making a story.. Well, i feel guilty about it really, i also know how it is difficult to produce money.. but i just do it in times that i really need money.. The most unforgettable one was the time when i was caught by my mother getting money from her wallet... i was really ashamed, i feel like i really want to rum away from home cause i can't face her.. but i say sorry and promised not goona do it anymore.

When i was about six. I used to take money out of my moms wallet (change) Take it outside and throw it in the street. I thought that the tooth fairy would come along and find it and then give me more money when i lost a tooth. lol

This is not stealing any more. You have told everyone here except probably your mother. I think it is not a good practice. One day it will come back to you. It is karma. You will also lose money one day. So drop that bad habit.

Hahahaha, you were not the only one who stole some money from your parents. I did the same when I was a kid. I did this to buy something I wanted. But fortunately, my parents didn't find this, otherwise I would have bitten for this. I have never told my parents about this. I have been a nice child in the eyes of my parents. Anyway that was when I was a kid only. Now I often give them some money to use to compensate their loss. lol. Love your topic.

I never in my life stole money from my parents. I knew better because if i did steal any money, I would be in deep trouble. Even when I don't have any money, I don't steal. I just ask nicely if i can borrow any money

Their was no way of stealing any money from my parents it's was always in their back pockets my mom never liked purses or wallets so she'd stick the cash in her back pockets, that reminds me one time my oldest sister seen my mom had a dollar sticking out of her back pocket and she would try and reach for it fast but ended up getting caught trying to reach for it...lol

This brings back a memory from my childhood. I spent a lot of my free time with my grandfather. He owned his own business and was quite busy most of the time. At some point an ice cream shop started up right next door to his business. Well one day he was busy at another location which left me alone in his shop. I knew where he kept the change. I struggled with it for quite a while but the temptation was too great and finally convinced myself that because he has so many dimes he would never miss two or three. Yea this was the old day's. LOL So I went next door and bought a big ice cream cone. I had to eat it fast as I really was afraid of getting caught. As I am finishing up a man came into the shop and ask if he could buy me something. He would not take no for an answer. So there I was eating another big cone in a hurry. That evening when my grandfather dropped me off home I was sick. At the time I though he never knew as he said nothing. But when I grew up and looked back I think that was no coincidence. Even though I knew who this man was I never talked with him before or sense. It taught me a very good lesson however and I never sole anything again in my life. My grandfather was a very wise and loving person. What goes around always comes around sooner or later. LOL

That is one thing i can honestly say i have never done and never will. If i ask for money for something and it is reasonable i never get turned down but i would never take it from them without permission. I stold some cigs from them once but money never.

I did when I was much younger and didn't take responsibilities or ever considered the consequences of my actions. But now, never. My parents trust me a lot so I would be a shame to see that go just because I am short of money. I think its bad though, after all you wouldn't want your parents taking your cash without you knowing if they were desperate for some money.

I have never had to steel money from my parents, I only ever have to ask my mum and she will help me out any time that I need. I dont think it is right to steel from our parents, they work hard and if someone came and pinched money from you wallet you wouldnt be impressed would you? If your parents dont want to buy you something then you shouldnt just take the money! Maybe they were keeping that money for bills or something, what would you do if your power was cut off because you took money from you parents and they didnt have enough to pay for it????? I really dont think that you should do this again!

Lots of times. I did it sometimes because I'm afraid that they will not give me the money specially things that they don't like for me.
