So my family bought take out...RANT

I lol'ed.

The original post is the perfect example:

Failing to plan, and failing to execute, paired with an inability to take personal responsibility.

As far as a rant goes, 3/10. Not enough vitriol.

Are you an adult?

If so buy your own food.

Sorry to sound harsh, but that's it. If you're over 18 get a job and your own place and start taking care of yourself.

She did. She bought it, cooked it and froze it for herself. Then someone in her family decided to feed it to the dog. Obviously if someone else takes your food without permission...your last meal available before being able to go shopping again... it shouldn't be unreasonable to expect that person to replace that meal for the day. If one of my roommates decided to take the last of my chili from the freezer and feed it to their cats when they know full well it's not theirs, nor is it cat food and I had nothing to replace that dinner that I had bought and prepared for myself, i would absolutely expect that they replace what they used. Reading the whole post would be helpful before passing unfair judgement.

I'm sorry. I live alone, pay for, and drive to get my own things. I don't understand this "my family gives me a free place to live but sometimes I don't like the food they give me so waaaah my life is unfair and they're trying to starve me."

If you live with your family, this is what happens. That's why she can't raise a stink with them, because they're putting her up on their dime. By 21 years old I had been out of the house for 4 years and was one year away from becoming a parent myself. I don't have sympathy for overgrown children.

Brett, they took her money, spent it on themselves, and told her that she can't have the food that she wants because it will make her fat. She only has 15 pounds to lose!!!!

In what world, does free rent justify blatant disrespect??!?!?

In MFP world where we are all perfect* and thus qualified to judge others.





*Other than the fact that most of us are or were fat.

You don't have to be perfect to get your own place. You just need to not be a child.

does it suck that the OP's family tossed her food? yup.
does it suck that her family took her money to get food and brought her the wrong thing? yup.

the part that is getting ME (and i think i speak for others), is the follow up 'woe is me what ever shall i eat?!' rant.

OPs living situation blows, but instead of a trivial rant to a forum of strangers, why not remedy the situation instead?

Why so many harsh tones? Why so much lack of "sugar-coating" when the OP could probably use some kindness?

Her family is not terribly kind to her. We are all strangers here, but I feel like a lot of these responses are unwarranted and suspect that there is some lack of reading comprehension afoot.

bless your gentle heart for assuming the issue is just an honest lack of reading comprehension. you are more mature than I am. So, for that matter, is the OP. I wouldn't have even bothered coming here to rant or "whine" as some refer to it. Someone takes my food and brings me a salad to replace it after using the rest of my money to buy stuff for themselves? I'ma pop 'em one in the nose and take their dang burger for myself. Well...not the WHOLE burger. I'd save some for the dog.
