Vent About My Dad

[mickeyfan2]

I did have my initials on the box, which is a trend my mom started, (apparently she gets annoyed at my dad for eating her food too.)

Holy crap. Every family member marks their food even the ones who share way more than food with each other.

Got to run so I can mark the food in our house before I tell DH about this wonder plan!!!!

That was a classic!!!

I agree with you, since another poster was so kind to point out, I've had this issue before. There is no way to not keep food in the fridge, unless I eat everything as I buy it or make it, and that just isn't going to happen.

Or you can move out and put the food in your fridge. The lock on the front door should keep Dad out of your food. You will also save time by not having to write your name on everything.

Except for the fact that my parents have told me they don't want me having a fridge in my room, which I believe is because they don't want me eating in my room, I'm not sure. But I did get one of those ice cream lid locks for pints of ice cream, since that was a favorite of my dad's to get into.

Who would have thought they actually made these!!!

You are old enough to be living out of your parents house.


I baked 36 cup cakes only to have them eaten in a day by my roommate...

Did I come whine on the Dis? No...
I learned to hid the cupcakes that I wanted him not to eat.

Easy solution.

OMG, I cannot believe that this is even an issue.You do this to yourself and you cannot blame anyone but you. All you do is complain, gripe and whine you will not do anything about it. So I dont see why that you would even bring somthing like this up again. You post something like this about every month or so but guess what you are still there so it must not bother you to bad.
So why just sit around and cry over things that you could fix if you wanted to but it seems like that you dont want to be a grown up and move out and be on your own. I could not even imagine whining about the things that you do and you Live in their house,I dont care if you pay rent or not it must not be much or you would be out on your own.

You have a trip planned and you could use the money that you are spending on that trip and get yourself a place and not have anything to worry about anymore,but you will not do it you just like to stay there and have something to complain about.

I think that your Dad is trying to tell you something and it is that it is time to grow up and be the adult that you are supposed to be and get the heck out of his house.

If you are not willing to do what you need to do to fix the problem (aka move out) then you need to suck it up and deal with the fact that your parents are going to eat the food.

Either go out and find an apartment or go out and buy another box of pudding.

Coming on here and complaining about it everytime it happens does nothing except make you look like a spoiled child.

Who would have thought they actually made these!!!

DW Lauri won a contest at work where the prize was a Ben and Jerry's prize pack. Among all the stuff were 2 pint locks. I never knew such a thing existed!

 

[nskjerven]

My 10 year old just called from the kitchen "Mom can I have some of your pink stuff (peppermint baskin robbins ice cream)?" I replied as I have for the last 2 cartons "go ahead". Yes DH bought the ice cream just for me. I haven't eaten any of it. My kids have eaten all of it. Does this make me sad or angry, of course not. In a family you do what you can to make the others lives happy. As an adult you learn that, when you move out and live with roommates that don't always honor your space, privacy and stuff(food). Sounds like you need to move out, live in the real world and then if necessary move back home and appreicate having the family you have.

It's pudding get over it.

OMG - here we go AGAIN - round 2, anyone? For some reason, it does not shock me to see another thread so similar to your first one about your Dad eating your leftovers. I guess it shocks me that it's been a few months since the last time this happened.

If you didn't listen to anything any of us had to offer on the last thread, why are you posting this complaint again!? Either take the advice we've already offered or put up with what's going on. I don't understand why you have to rehash what has already been hashed out months ago!?

 

[disneyfreakk]

OP, you have an extremely unhealthy obsession over food. If you have an eating disorder, please get some help.

 

[livie1205]

my dad had a heart attack two years ago...almost died during open heart surgery...i would let him have all the pudding any day...i am just glad he is still here...

 

[poohandwendy]

I wanted to say this on the other thread, but I held my tongue. I'll say it now though. You are a SPOILED CHILD. Seriously, I can't believe that you consider this an issue. I would do anything for one more day with my parents, and you are complaining about pudding. Unbelievable. Do yourself a favor. Find your own place, move out, and BE A GROWN UP. One day, you will wish your dad was there to eat your pudding again. Trust me on this.

Sheesh OP, get your own apartment already.

 

[WatchinCaptKangaroo]

OP,

This seems like a chronic issue with your family. Maybe it's their subtle way of telling you to move out. And if it's not, save your money and get your own place. Even if you're renting a room somewhere else. I bet you'd get more sympathy if your roommate was eating your food

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to make some popcorn that I bought using a popper that my mom bought me in the kitchen of the apartment I pay rent for to live in by myself.

Trashing the OP doesn't change the fact that her father is a rude, ignorant, pig.

 

[luvindisneyworld]

Well doesnt matter if it is that big of a deal then she should move out.
It is his house and he can do whatever he wants to.

Trashing the OP doesn't change the fact that her father is a rude, ignorant, pig.

May I ask why it's always open season on this particular poster???

This reminds me a great deal of the mob mentality posting that used to go on with another famous poster (who no longer posts here).

Every single time this poster vents about something her rude, ignorant, dysfunctional family does the same old cast of characters show up and start the bashing. There was absolutely NO NEED to post a link to the old thread. You all know what that thread was about because most of you posted on it, several times in fact. Bringing it up was not constructive for the OP, it was to belittle and embarass her, and not the least, to entertain yourselves. The responses on this thread say a lot more about those posting them, than they do about the OP.

She knows what she needs to do, but for whatever reason chooses not to. I don't understand it but I don't have to, it's not my family dynamic. Yes, she makes a lot of excuses about why she can't or won't help herself, however, she is still entitled to be pissed off about something and come here to vent! At this point, it really wouldn't matter what she posts about because some of you get your kicks out of calling her down and trying to make her feel bad.

I guarantee that if a more popular poster said her husband or child ate an entire bowl of something you people would be tripping all over yourselves to tell her that they were pigs and she was right to be upset.

Here is a news flash: I don't care who's house it is, there is never any justification for gluttony. Eating the entire bowl was rude and selfish. However, it can't have been unexpected as your parents pull that crap all the time.

You know what you need to do. Until you do it, I would suggest that you don't post about your crazy family anymore, and at the very least, remove your trip countdown. Frankly, it is hard to read excuses about not having enough money to move out when you are planning a deluxe trip. It upsets people to try to give you constructive advice when you are obviously more concerned about having an expensive holiday than saving money to move out. Complaining about your circumstance while doing nothing to change it gets on some nerves.

was it vanilla or chocolate?
If it was chocolate I'd probably let it slide. But if he ate all my warm cooked vanilla pudding there'd be hell to pay!

 

[darlak]

If I went into my kitchen and made a cake (I don't like pudding), then left it sitting on the ocunter only to return an hour or so later and find that another family member (or maybe 2 since it's a cake in my story!), had eaten the entire cake and not left me even 1 piece, I would probably be upset too. At my house, we sometimes have to throw out the last piece of any type of dessert because all my children have been taught that it's rude to take the last piece without first making sure no one else wants it!

So OP, I'll concede that it probably wasn't good manners on his part. The part of your situation that would trouble me the most is the writing of initials on food, the ice cream lid locks, and the constant squabbling over personal food. I just can't imagine living that way. Not even with roommates, much less with members of my own family.

 

[portia9]

I am the mother in the house and if something appeared in my fridge OR I made something and one person ate the entire thing I would see that as very rude and inconsiderate regardless of whether it is my house or not. Clearly someone prepared that and expected to eat it-the pudding fairy didn't deliver it.
