We live with my parents and will continue to. But, we all have certain. Household bills we cover (we I mean my husband) and then we take turns buying family groceries. Anything bought special we let everyone know. But we buy for everyone to eat. Or we go shop together and split it.
Seems and looks selfish.
I would buy a mini fridge and keep some of it in your room. We have all family living in my house and stuff started disappearing so that’s what I did I bought myself a mini fridge and I keep anything I don’t want eaten in my bedroom. Problem solved

My daughter and her family stayed with me for awhile, we rotated buying food, she would buy it one week and I would buy it the next week.
Mate I would starve to feed my mum just like she did for me… what’s the problem here?

OMG really!!! That’s your mom she’s letting you stay there and your complaining about her eating your food. I lived with my mom for 3 years with my two sons. I never once told my mom she couldn’t ever eat any of the food I bought. Be thankful she’s letting you stay there. How would you feel if she came back and said remember all those years I fed you while you were growing up. Be thankful you have a mother. I lost my mom 4 years ago and would do anything if I could have her back.

Do u pay rent and portion of utilities? If so then keep ur food locked in ur room. If not. Get over it.
Didn’t you eat all her food growing up? And you’re still in her house? Regardless of what you contribute, she’s your mother and I’m sure has helped you in many ways.the only way you will ever have complete control over your surroundings is to have your own place.

I would keep food in my room. I had a friend who I let live with us. I had a separate cabinet for my son’s snacks and she still would eat everything. She wouldn’t replenish anything either. She was even using my shampoo. When everything was gone, she would go eat somewhere else. But that didn’t help us any. She was stealing food from stores too. She and her boyfriend were working but not contributing… Taking food from my son. We’re no longer friends. I had FS and worked.
Are you paying rent, Utilities?

Everyone’s food looks better than mine!
Does your son do without if she eats the food ? If not you need to let it go.
I completely understand making sure everybody in the house eats because yes my mom feed me to but there is just some things you just don’t get into.
As a mother and a grandmother she should know better than to be in there eating the babies lunch and snacks!
So rude and selfish.
The child’s food and needs will always come 1st.
Time to step up the get your own place as soon as you can. That’s about the only way to solve it besides Keeping certain foods and maybe a small fridge in your Room.
And also everyone doesn’t understand that all moms are not loving, respectful or caring people.
I know many mothers who are extreme narcissists and are very selfish! No one knows how much she’s done for you or how or what you would owe her. So don’t let anyone make you feel guilty for being aggravated that someone’s eating your child’s food.

If it’s a rent free situation and ur only buying groceries for u n ur kid that’s pretty shitty ur making her pay all them bills but cant let her eat some bread shit I’d share anything and everything with my mom paying or not that’s what u do don’t let people be hungry
Tell her she has to start buying groceries for all 3 of you or immediately replace whatever food that is yours and your sons. I have link and have daddy and our son on it with me and we all live with my mom and I just buy everything wed need for all of us, right now my son is only 2 months but still itd be easy to buy enough for him plus all us it seems
It’s obviously not just bread, it’s probably a lot of food items and you’re trying to simplify the post by just giving the example of the bread.
I’d just put the things she tends to eat most of yours (for example: bread) in your room and not in the common area. If it’s fridge items you could always get a mini fridge for your room for like $90 at Walmart.
I know you may not have $90 to spare, but it might be something to look into saving for so you don’t go nuts or harm your long term relationship with your mom

I’m sure your mother doesn’t think of it as just your food. She cared for you your whole life. I’m sure it’s not that bad. Buy extra then. I stay with my mom. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever tell her not to eat our food. Get out then. So not right… Sounds to me you are narcissistic… All about you and yours. Get over it. Sorry. But wow… . Really

So my question is… if you hid the food, does that mean she wouldn’t be eating?
And are you staying with her at her house or she staying with you at your house?
You could try to keep it in your room. Unfortunately if you have talked to her and she won’t listen I’m not sure what else you can do except dealing with it or leaving.
This was a problim for me once. I bought a cheap shelf and a mini fridge and put both in my room with me and my daughter. I know alot of people think oh its just bread but when your kid will only eat certain things its hard to keep it stocked. I know my daughter ate a special cinnamon bread that i payed 5$ a loaf for. When your buying 6 loafs a month it gets expensive.
Get a mini fridge and a lock
I am sure she feels it is her house and she can do what she wants so probably best if you move as soon as you can
Lol good thing your mom didn’t write a post while you were growing up eating all her food

Start deducting the food she eats from the funds you pay her🤷 Thats your child’s food, she shouldnt be touching it especially without asking. Start keeping all your non perishables in your room and put the child’s name on things in the fridge. And definitely save what you can to move out cause unfortunately its something that wont stop

You guys are irritating. It’s basic respect. Fuck the “mom” aspect. If she’s paying rent too, then look at it like her roommate. Different thought huh? She should be asking. Or, yeah. Chip in for groceries. Or just say hey. Can you grab an extra loaf of bread. Just fucking communicate. Her being her mom doesn’t change anything. And by saying “didn’t she feed you growing up” is hella extra. My mom bought my whole wardrobe growing up and scheduled & took me to appointments. Does that mean I have to do it for her now? Even having my own kids? No. So figure it out lmao Stupid.
Not really understanding the problem. That is your mother! Are you forgetting when you were a child and raising you did she hide the food from you or asked you to buy half of the groceries. She is your mom and you should never forget that. For all of us that has lost our moms we would do anything to be able to share a meal with them again. Wake up and appreciate her and all she has done and sacrificed for you

I taught my children that they could not eat things in front of anyone if there wasn’t enough to share. Any food brought in the house was for everybody. I understand that there may be things special you get for your son but it is fair game for all buy extra to have plenty. Get yourself and son a place too live then you have the option of saying you can’t eat that problem solved.

Move out, pretty sure you ate her out of house and home growing up. She provided for you. You could keep it in your room even. But like that’s your mom. 🤷
There are mothers out there that will not acknowledge any boundaries and lord it over their child’s head that’s she’s providing a home so why should she have to respect any boundaries. Sometimes there is not another option except to live with these evil excuses for moms.

I understand what people here are talking about with the whole that’s your mom thing but… Respect and appreciation works both ways. you can’t tell somebody that they are responsible for purchasing their own food for them and their child and then turn around and eat that food you told them they had to purchase. Respect isn’t just given its earned regardless of who you are to the person in question. Anything that doesn’t have to be refrigerated I would keep somewhere in your space. Maybe a dresser or cupboard in the corner of your room or in your closet, I definitely understand why you’re upset. Maybe you and your mom could work out a half and half deal to fill the house with groceries maybe alternate weeks or something. If Mom won’t go for that, id definitely work on getting your own place asap, which I also understand isn’t as easy as people here seem to think it is. “Oh well leave get your own place or get over it.” Like it’s that simple.

Such compassion on here, NOT - bitchy remarks galore.
Also wow at all the people who think its okay to bring a child into the world just to have someone to take care of you when you are old. You bring a child into the world to take care of them, not to be selfish later. If she didnt feed her child, the state would remove custody from the mother, you all expect your children to pay you back for the food you gave them in order to grow? Disgusting perspective.

You are lucky that you even have a mom. I would give anything to give my mom a piece of bread. My kids would fix their grandma a whole entire meal and watch her eat it as they ask if she wants seconds and thirds. You sound like an entitled little shit. The best advice I can give your mom is to kick your ass out so you can learn what the grown up world is all about.
Wow some of the comments on here. Obviously if you are living in your mom’s house and paying to be there while purchasing your own groceries for you and your child your mom should respect that. It’s different if you were living there for free or not buying groceries but it’s the opposite. Mother or not as adults respect for other’s belongings are needed especially when there’s a child involved. I’d make it clear she’d probably be mad if you just started using something of hers that she keeps just for herself whether it be good or make up ya know.
Groceries are not cheap and Children are not either. Get a little refrigerator for your room. You’ll probably have to shop more often since mini refrigerators don’t store much but it’ll work. Hope things get better for you.

Thats your Mom. For fuck sakr
I live with my inlaws and they eat what we buy and we eat what they buy. We all buy groceries as well as pay our own bills. But you really that upset buy a mini fridge and keep the dry food in your room.
We’re going through the same thing. It’s my mother in law and she doesn’t eat “all” the food, but she does help herself and doesn’t bother to replace it.
The only thing she buys is coffee, her dog food (hard and soft) and her cats the same, pretty pricey “organic all natural dog treats (including cbd dog treats), tea, occasionally a bag of chips and that’s it…
We are living with her for a bit, but also fork out money to her (more than half of everything and that’s including all food. We already have 5 kids and two of us plus her) My So brother brings his kids often (he has 3) and never brings food for them so she dips in when they come as well.
I’ve talked to my SO about it and he doesn’t think it’s a big issue?m, but his mom literally gets EVERYTHING given to her from coworkers (she was going to have a house gifted to her by a coworker, but ended up buying one). She was living pay check to pay check before we came and was having to use dish soap for her laundry and now buying her dog a bag of dog treats for 40$+.
She had two dogs she locks up in her room and when we first moved in there was no latch to keep our door shut, so her dog got in our room and attacked ours and she has enough nerve to say “it wasn’t that bad”. Her dog chased mine around the house biting him and trying to maul him. He gets no social interaction and she keeps letting him come to our door and sniff under it. Our dog is terrified and I don’t want my kids being around a dog like that. (We have since fixed the door) but it’s like she lets him taunt us knowing I don’t trust the dog. He’s violent. She has an older female dog that’s sweet and makes her sit in the room with him all the time and her aggressive male dog tries to hump her all the time, it is so so sad, I don’t know what to do. She keeps blankets on her bed that she changes daily and when she brought them out there was blood on them from (in her words) trying to mount her. Poor dog has scratches all over her.
The lady needs to be horse whipped. She lies to my kids and says she found him on the side of the road even though a coworker gave him to her.
All in all I can relate hun. 
Please talk to her before the issue continues or it’s only going to cause problems and resentment. We will be sitting down to talk, but I’m not sure how it’ll go as she takes everything I say as “rude”…

It’s your MOTHER ffs. Maybe she can’t afford food. Ffs it’s food that’s being eaten by your mom. Not some Joe blow down the road. Buy more or move out. How is this shit even a question? Wonder will you feel this way when she’s gone?
Seriously? The woman that made sure you had food as a child? I would give anything to have my mother back with me eating everything I bring home. I took pride knowing I was able to provide for my 2 boys,niece, partner and MOTHER!!! Move out if you don’t like it.
Appreciate that your mother is providing a roof over your head. & you should be helping out financially you’re a grown woman. As far as the food issue I was raise NEVER to fight over food. I cringe when I hear people fight over food it’s strange to me. She’s your mother and you can buy more bread. If you don’t like it move out!

Hmmm depends…does your mom pay all of the bills? If so, buy more food so she & your son have enough to eat! If she doesn’t & you pay your half of everything, then have another talk with her, if that doesn’t work, invest in a safe or lock box of some type if need be.

Nope I agree with you. You are specifically buying food for your child, just because it’s her house does not mean she is entitled to take it. I would suggest a mini refrigerator for your room to store perishables and keep non perishables in there as well. If she wants to eat what you buy, she needs to pay you. You pay your own way for everything so she has zero excuse

Majority of people in this group are so rude. Y’all must be perfect huh anyways, if her mom is making her pay for her own groceries but is still eating their groceries i would be a little upset as well. It’s not the fact that she’s her mom or she’s letting her stay there, it’s about respect and boundaries. She has to buy her own food but it’s all eaten before she gets any. If it continues, maybe talk to her about going 50/50 on groceries or just get a mini fridge and a shelf for your room. Good luck ! & don’t listen to all the negativity

I think that if you both came to an agreement on how much you’ll be paying rent, not half as you are renting, not purchasing half her house, then you need to start putting as much as you can away in your own room. I’m not sure how your mother is but maybe she is making things uncomfortable for you so you can move out. I’d love to say deduct it from the rent but it’s your mother who took you and your son in. I’m assuming you really are paying your own way but if there are extras she is paying like WiFi, cable, then you’ll have to deal with it as she is helping you out still. It sucks having to move in back with a parent especially if you have kids. I had two kids and moved back in with my parents while I was in school. I paid what I could so I couldn’t say anything. My mother would tell me what to do as far as raising my kids or she’d give disapproval looks but hey, I was in her home. as soon as I graduated and got situated with a job I moved out. Try to make this a positive experience and as unfair as things may seem, she is still helping you out. unless your mom is gorging on all your food, buy extra groceries. That’s all I can really suggest.
no i get it. get a mini fridge for your room and put your stuff in there.
