My parents divorced when i was young my dad cheated on my ma. Afterwards dad married his mistress and mom stayed single but made her way up and was able to provide me and my siblings a good life. As of late i’ve been working as a waitress. I want to buy a car but doing chores aren’t enough and my mom wouldn’t give me any extra chores so i took the job. So i started saving my checks and tips. Every other weekend my dad and his family has been coming over. Lately tho i’ve started noticing that my money has been going missing. It started with 1 or 5 dollars missing but it’s gotten aggressively more. Like 20-30 dollars are missing. My savings has gone from around 500 to roughly 300. I brought this up to my family but they expressed on multiple occasions they haven’t taken it. I tried putting it in different places but it still goes missing.
I caught my dads kids hanging around my room and sitting outside of it. I asked them to stay away from my room but they get offended and tell their mom that i don’t wanna hang out with them; always ends in an argument. 3-4 weeks ago when i got home from work they were in my room and taking money from my savings i yelled at them to put the money back and to get out of my room. My dad and their mom heard me yelling and came up to see what was I yelling about. They were on my side and grounded them. Apparently their kids have been taking my money and they explained that they have been coming home with money but they had no idea where they got it from and gave me a 50 as an apology.
Now whenever i go out i started locking my door. I mean every day even when their not there i look my door. They started taking offense to this. They keep telling me there’s no need for me to lock my door and that they make sure that their kids aren’t around my room anymore but like i lost so much money from this. They didn’t work those 8 hours shift i did and they got the money from it. But its like their kids they didn’t know any better.
AITA?
