You take $200 bucks a month for your trouble, and don't tell her because she wont notice anyway. No harm, no foul... Is this moral to do this?

how do you get to a point in life where you have this much responsibility & don't know the answer to this question already?
Whether she'll notice or not, it's still wrong.
She should probably give you something for your trouble if she has it to spare & you need it... but taking it without permission is theft.

Not moral, no. If it is not your money, she should know AND agree to you taking some for your troubles. I would imagine that if you discussed it with her, she would be more than happy to pay you so much per month for helping her although I find $200 to be a bit high unless you are spending hours on end doing tasks for her.

Let me ask you this- If for some reason, YOU were to become handicapped in some way- say a car accident puts you in a wheelchair for instance. If she took over the paying of your bills and helped herself to "$200.00 bucks a month for (her) trouble.", would YOU think it was "no harm, no foul"? I personally think you sound like a cheap, clueless, ungrateful a/s/s/h/o/l/e, but hey- that's just my opinion. Schmuck.

Your stealing from your mother! If you have a thought in your selfish, stealing heart you'd stop. Or you might consider it Karma when she gets old enough to need to go into assisted living and your stuck with the huge bill! Enjoy, it will catch up with you sooner or later.

Are you saying that writing out your elderly mothers bills is worth stealing $200 from her?
I guess that depends on if the best she could do was raise a thief.

No, it isn't moral. It's taking advantage of someone who has put there trust in you to look out for them. If you need the money, asking her would be a better way to go about it. She would probably give it to you just for the asking. Don't steal from her.

No, it's not right at all. What if she requested that you put money out of your pocket into her account for all the trouble you caused her when you were born, when you were sick, when she wiped your nose and your butt, when she fed you, etc. Think about it? That's just wrong!!! After all the care and love she has given you in your upbringing, you should feel privileged that you can help her out now!

I think you know the answer to your own question, otherwise you wouldn't be asking us. Your mother trusts you and you take advantage of her this way! Let's see what you think when you become old and need someone to take care of you, how you would feel. I feel sad for you, I really do...

Not at all! Shame on you. You do it for her free of charge because she gave birth to you, changed your diapers, taught you how to tie your shoes and wipe your nose, and how to talk and walk, etc. If you need money for yourself, ASK her if you can have some extra cash. Don't STEAL from her!!

Nope it's wrong, but you already know that. What goes around, comes around....karma will get you every time. In your future I see your kids stealing from you.
