Stay with DM during the week for work reasons. Most of the time I travel Monday mornings but occasionally on a Sunday if there are engineering works.
I eat soup for lunch – normally a pot of fresh soud from Sainsbury or M&S. Most of the time I leave a tub in the fridge in work over the weekend so I have lunch available Monday without having to go to the supermarket first – then I shop on a Monday evening for provisions for the week.
Couple of weeks ago I knew I was travelling up on the Sunday so left my Monday soup in my mums fridge. Got there on the Sunday night – and the soup was gone. She’d eaten it. I didn’t mind except that it meant I had to go shopping on way into work which on a Monday can’t be done early as the shops don’t open until 7 which means I couldn’t get into work early enough that I can get away early. Bit of a minor grumble but lots of piss taking of the mother about taking food out of her daughters mouth – all meant in a joking manner – and also that the one she’d eaten had upset her stomach (so karma!).
Last week I left three cartons in the fridge over the weekend as I went home early due to being ill. Two of the same flavour she’d eaten the previous time and one that I REALLY REALLY like but you can only get in some shops some of the time as it’s a special edition. Made a joke with her that “I know there’s three cartons in the fridge and I’ve marked them against theft!”. Got a slightly snotty reply “If I want to eat one I will and replace it”.
So she did – and I suspect to make a point more than wanting one. Except she ate the special edition flavour. Which I knew you couldn’t get in any of the branches near to her. When I commented on it Sunday night she said “I’ll replace it tomorrow” but didn’t quite get that SHE COULDN’T REPLACE THAT FLAVOUR unless she drove 25 miles to the nearest very very large branch. She replaced it with a crappy lentil one. I’m tempted to leave the crappy lentil one until it becomes a science experiment on the top shelf of her fridge since she can’t reach it!
I’m over invested in this I think.

AIBU?
To be irrationally angry at DM for eating my soup (I want this to be light hearted … but I fear I’m seething)
