I grew up in a home were who ever was there would be offered a plate at dinner time. My mums moto was “cut it small and fed them all. “ don’t ever go with out yourself to fed other. Just make smaller potions and tell others I’m about to put our dinner out so if you could please excuse us.
“boyfriend that lives with you”?? Girl it sounds like that’s YOUR food and YOUR house. Set some boundaries!
Screw that. Feed yourself and kids before his friends. You need to put your foot down.
There’s no way in hell my husband would feel comfortable scarfing down a plate if he noticed I didn’t have one myself.
sounds like his friends are moochers! quit feeding them & see if they feed you! NTA
Sweetie you (and he) need to put your needs and the needs of your children before his friends. My Mother often “already ate mine in the kitchen” at mealtimes and it took a toll on both her mental and physical health. I will never forget seeing her wolfing down the few leftovers from our plates like an animal when she didn’t realise I could see her.
Kick him to curb. Make him spend his own money on food. For other ppl
You and your kids first you need to make that clear that your not running a mission for the homeless.
They know it’s free and they don’t have to work or clean up a mess . They just know to show up and you will dish it out
Hell nah. That isn’t happening. He rather feed his friends than his own family! That man needs to go. The more you allow it, the worse it will get, next thing would be they need a place to stay and do on. I had this before. It got to the point where I had to make an excuse to get out of my place. They didn’t help with nothing. They were using me I had enough.
Girl. I know he is probably the father of the baby you are carrying and that’s unfortunate. So you probly gonna stay thinking a little help is better than none. But if this is how he “cares” for his child already… it’s only gonna be worse. With his thoughtless and child like ways that little bit of help is always gonna end up as more work for you and taking away from Your kids. If you stay. Start living and planning as if he is not in the picture and make a contingency plan. You can not count on him
Be straight up to your bf. It’s expensive to eat these days. It’s expensive to live full stop. Just stop feeding the guests. You and your kids come before them. Stuff them lol.
So u work you cook your pregnant and no food for u umm in the bin the lot of them
