So DH and I moving in with DHs dad, sister, and boyfriend has been working out, except for 1 thing: FOOD!
Before DH and I moved in they were nutourious for eating out, ordering, etc. Now that we moved in they snack, snack, snack, and eat, eat, eat and do not even notice it, and then blame it on us.
We decided when we moved in DHs sister and I would do shopping together, and split the bill but we soon realised that would not work because they buy things DH and I would NEVER buy. Like charmin TP which does in 2 days and is expensive!! And tide laundry detergant! NO WAY!! So then DH and I did shopping one week, and she went the next, thought maybe this would work. Wrong. She spent $50 and $10 of it was on coffee we don't drink.
Then we decided okay we will buy our own stuff. My ginger ale was gone after 1 glass, etc. That did not work out.
Then there was tention in the house for a few days because they have been playing the well we bought this you bought that crap. So she suggested we write our names on food we don't want them to eat. This caused even more of a problem!!
So now today we go down stairs and DH looks in the med cabnit to see the pepto bottle; it states "if you are the LAST person to use this, buy a new one!". Um...okay? Obviously?
I am not sure how to go about all this. I mean do I buy my own milk, eggs, etc.? Meds? There is not enough room to have all of our own stuff, not to mention, the fact that they will eat it.
This was a problem at my dads as well, but this is much more because its three other people. My room does not even fit a queen size bed so I cannot store anything up here. Cabnit space is minimal.
The anger and tention coming from everyone is so stupid. I mean who argues about this crap??
Any ideas??
Thanks all. :nrant:
