My food

It sounds as if they are pretty thoughtless of you and of what belongs to you. It must be hard. Now my son lives here, eats most of his meals with us, but buys special foods for his work lunches and breakfasts and he also buys himself some treats. He will on occasion offer something but mostly we just respectfully keep our hands off his stuff. Your family should respect you.

Is it your bamily´s home or is it yours? It´s harder to set rules if the house is not your own. Those family members: are they children or adults? What is your relationship to you? I understant we all have to respect each other tohugh, but sometimes rules must be explained aloud

You really want to know what I think? I could have made that food for $15.00 to $20. You got robbed before you got robbed. I would not buy $35 worth of food for just me unless that was going to be at least 3 meals. It would have been nice if they had offered to pay for some of it. But maybe they figured that since you don't pay rent, you could spring for something like that once is a while. When I was growing up, my Mom made one pizza per person so if my brothers were here, I'd be lucky if I got a piece. Sounds like you'd better eat out, get a small fridge of your own, and sneak everything in the back door. Or expect to share it all. In my family, we share food. We always have. If it came in the door, I'd expect to share. It also makes more sense to spend $35 on 3 people than just one. $35 for one person would be a high class restaurant French many courses 4 hour meal here. $35 divided by 3 is $11.67. Aren't you supposed to be saving money for all kinds of stuff? Pizza dough, $1.25 here, let rise, roll out and cook. Another Pizza dough that you can buy at a store, $1.25, shape and let rise. So far, $2.50. If you really have to have the pizza bites, roll that out and cut up. Now you're at $3.75 for crust alone. Two pizza jars, @1.25= $2.50. Now the expensive part is the chese, meat, whatever else you want on it. That's why it comes to $15 or $20 home made. In my family, we wouldn't think of making or ordering food without offering some. We also wouldn't think it odd or rude that somone would actually eat it. But we would think it was odd to order $35 worth of sutt that could be made much more cheaply. We have pizza wars here. Large pizza is $16. Bread sticks are a dollar each. Pasta bowls, we'd have to have pizza hut because I don't think anyone else makes them and they aren't in a bread bowl. $10.99 for those. So that would have been about $30 plus the tip, so you got about what we would have had to pay. Although they usually add money for gas, so you might have gotten a deal. If you're saving money and going to move out, then it's a good idea to learn how to make all that stuff, if not from scratch, then at least with already made dough. And plan on people helping you eat it. If my brothers and/or my husband bought anything like that, they'd share. Your people that you live with don't? You haven't gotten $35 worth of food from them since you've lived there? My brothers weight, 180 lbs, 210 lbs, 300 lbs, and I weigh 177 lbs. How much do you think everyone would eat? I used to weigh 130lbs and they still weighed those amounts. My 300lbs brother used to eat a salad bowl sized cereal bowl which was about one box of cereal. My Dad weighed 300 and my Mom $180 when they were alive. Probaly why she made one pizza per person. She only did this once in a great while. When I go to my brothers' homes, no matter how broke they are, they always give us lots of food. So we do the same in return.

being polite when you are away from home but I think all is lost when it comes to family. You probably couldn't have eaten it all by yourself anyway. I go out by myself occasionally just so I can enjoy something by myself and not have to buy for everyone.

Oooh girl welcome to my world LOL My husband will get mad at me when I buy a bacon thin crust pizza. He says there is nothing to it and does not like it. Well he likes it so little that when I eat some and put some in the fridge for me the next day there is NONE. So if he does not like it, then why does he eat it? I buy him tons of food specifically for him and never touch it (trust me I wouldn't LOL) But sure as I purchase something just for me he naturally has his lips around it even when he says he does not like something LOL
