So my family bought take out...RANT

I just want to clarify where on earth it says she gave her family money? In her first post she says she placed an order, not gave them money. But she also says she texted them and didn't get a response. In my head no response means not to count on whatever it is happening. I just finished writing an essay and my brain is fuzzy so maybe I'm blind right now but I could swear...

That being said, yeah I'd be pissed, money or no, and it's ok to rant. I'm 23 and live at home. I work full time, have a car, pay bills, contribute to the house's bills, go to college, etc., and there's times my parents drive me INSANE. I could afford to move out, if I sacrificed school, or the car, or something. So I get it, I really do. And it's ok to rant, but this is also the internet, and rants are probably best kept to friend's lists only.

the money part came up in a later response.

A yeah. I went a bit cross eyed trying to figure out what was going on that made this thread implode and must have missed it.

You really have NOTHING left to eat in your house but a few slices of bread, honey, and jam...? You won't last a week in a zombie apocalypse.

Why does everyone need to jump down her throat? She clearly stated that she was ranting (venting). Let her get it out and if you have nothing supportive to add then just move on to the next one. She didn't ask for advice, she was only trying to get something off her chest and maybe she didn't have anywhere else to express her feelings at. We all have days when things got to us. OP, I hope tomorrow goes better for you.

Just as well a zombie apocalypse is rather unlikely IRL.

i am stunned by the amount of posts i have read in this thread condemning the OP.

what happened to your reading and comprehension abilities? what happened to your objectivity and contexual insight?

some of those who are encouraging this young woman to move out of her home need to understand that in all liklihood, she will have to drop out of school to support herself. she mentions she comes from a small town, and there may be some social and / or economic barriers hindering her ability to obtain financial support for her education. Kudos to the OP for being a responsible student and paying her way through college - she will appreciate it more, thats for certain.

those of you heralding about your accomplishment, congratulations! you moved out of your parents' home at 17-18. though, some of you probably could have stayed at home a little longer to complete your education, allowing you to understand a basic writing like the one the OP composed..

i got the feeling the first few posts set a tone for group think and everyone just rode the wave of mean all the way to dropping out of college...

Bingo lol. Bandwagoning. So the OP is whining? I'm sure we've all whined about some insignificant first world problem. If I feel like someone whines too much, I ignore them.

Go buy your own food. You're an adult.

It sounds like money is tight or there is just poor budgeting in the house. There should be more food in the family fridge...Like everyone has suggested: buy some of your own food and store it in your room. Since you do live at home, consider cooking an economical meal for the family or buying a few items of food to share as well. With no food in the fridge, other family members are more likely to 'steal' your food in the future, too.

Good point. Perhaps feeding the food to the dog was a cover story...

I take it mama stopped running away with the tv....? :flowerforyou:

I wondered about that too... I think its a different OP though.

A purse and/or phone may have been stolen at some point.

YUP! lmao

I'm 21. I'm a student who studies from home, because I need to use all the money from the work I do to pay my books and study fees. My parents refuse to pay for it. So unless I go live on the street I can't move out.

They didn't pay for my food. I did.

They used the rest of my money to buy coke.

They comment on EVERYTHING I eat.

"You can't eat meat! It will make you bulky..."
"You can't eat that, it will make you fat!"

As I said she took MY food and fed it to the dog. There is dogfood in the house. Do you expect me to eat that? :-/

Yes I could go buy my own food. But it's a little despicable to take my money for your own use. And to decide FOR ME what I should and shouldn't eat.

Thank you OP for clarifying, and to the rest of you people who just assume she is lazy F off. I had to live with my parents when I was in school and they always think they know best. Even when youre paying rent/food etc.

I agree with the nuts and jerky comment. I used to hide my snacks in my room

I have no comment except to mention that BBQ ribs sure sounds good. Gettin' a little hungry just thinking about some. And beer. maybe some cole slaw too.

Bring your food everywhere you go. I know it's hard to live with people like this. My ex-husband didn't support my healthy lifestyle and was a douche whenever he seen me eating broccoli and chicken. My advice get a mini fridge and lock it. I'm almost 6 years into my fitness journey and I'm blessed to be married to someone who supports and encourages it now. Since you have no other options, just get a fridge for your room. I know people who've had to do this for various reasons...it works.

Kill a family member and eat them.

Here are some helpful tips and tricks if you're new to this.

It's pretty nice because you can freeze portions and eat throughout the winter months. If your family is as horrible as you make them seem I doubt anyone will notice till you dispose of the body. Also as a bonus you'll have dog bones!!
