My mom constantly eats the food that I buy for my son and I: Advice?

Clearly speaking to her isn’t working so lock your food in your room. Buy a small bar fridge too

Maybe if you meal prep and label it with the babies name she will not not eat it?

Really ? How many years did she feed you ? And you begrudge sharing with her ?

Maybe you Should move out.

Could you use a permanent marker and write your son’s name on foods - cartons & packages? Or write on a sticky note and stick on the food packages you want left alone. Maybe buy a few extra things and write your moms name on those food items?

Maybe have a chat with her about it, and if nothing changes, consider the idea of getting groceries together and then split the cost where you pay 2/3 and she pays 1/3.

Sounds like you need to move out. 🤷 if you bought food for you child and you. You also talked to her about not touching your food, then getting ignored. You need to move out point blank.

I don’t think it’s that big of a deal unless you buy a certain amount you can afford every week planned out for school lunches. Which is what I do. I’d tell her to please not eat the things portioned out to make school lunch for the baby but to help herself anywhere else she pleases. And being a mother she should understand that and being an adult, she should comply. If not, maybe try getting a special place to put the lunch stuff at.

I bet when you were little you were fed by her and made it until now so let her have some food you are living in her house you know!

Buy a pantry and put a lock on it in ur room or ur son and keep ur stuff in there. Little fridge

Your staying in her house aren’t you? She’s putting a roof over you head. Don’t you use her heat,wwater and lights? Her laundry facilities. Didn’t she lay her life down to give you life?

Well im sure u were eating “her” bread for a little minute as well…

Do you and your child eat “her” food? Is she always taking the last of something and not telling you?

Obviously u needed to stay w her. Let her eat ur bread. That’s your mom!!!

Buy a pantry with a lock on it. :woman_shrugging:

You need your own place , do you pay her rent, if you dont buy extra

Your living with HER …even though your paying your way ,you’re still in HER SPACE …Don’t be so petty :roll_eyes:

Well everything should be split 50/50

Are you geting free rent there. She IS your Mom. She raised you.

Move out or buy extra :woman_shrugging:t2:

Go see if you and your son qualify for food benefits at your Health & Human Resources/WIC office. That may help

Buy yourself something like a small cabinet or chest to keep your food in until you’re able to leave your mother’s house. That’s really the only way to keep her out of things. The cold things you kind of can’t do anything about. It’s her house and if she’s there without y’all, she’ll do whatever she wants. Unless you get maybe a small cooler or mini fridge to keep the colder things in.
Keep it all locked away from her.

This got to be a joke

That’s ur Mother. Just wow :pensive:

Keep your stuff in your room. Get a mini fridge if you need to. Put a lock on your room.

Move out or buy extra food and try to negotiate for a lower rent amount.
If you currently pay $500 a month rent, pay $400 rent, for the extra food you buy.

Start buying food you can all eat, share, share, share. Maybe pay your way a little less to co operate x
