Newly single mum here hi!

dm visited this weekend to ‘help’ largely consisted of me running errands for her and bringing cups of tea.

here’s the thing, she brought her dog who she only feeds meat (she won’t listen) so steak, chicken, mince etc.

i went to the butcher on the weekend and bought our meat for the month, steaks, whole chickens, lamb leg, chicken breast, meat and even duck breast.

all in all £80 or more likely. Had them in fridge before I could sort and put in freezer.

i had a kids bday party so was getting kids ready whilst dm was packing up.

go to the fridge this morning and it’s all gone… all the meat.

she thought I bought it for her dog. So now not only got to do a freezer tea for the kids but ive got to rebuy it all.

dm didn’t offer to replace and lives too far away to return.

aibu to think this is barmy behaviour? You check before you clean out someone’s fridge

Why haven't you told her to transfer the money to you?

TakeOnFlea · 17/06/2024 17:21

She's taken it with her. The dog didn't eat all of that

Send her your bank details. Ask for £80 to replace the meat that wasn't for her dog.

She put it in her car and took it home for later

No she didn't take it, she stole it.

She hasn’t fed her dog a month’s worth of meat in the time it took you to set up a children’s party; so she has dog food for a month. Tell her to send you the money.

What kind of people help themselves to the contents of other people’s fridges without asking first? Mum is a Grade-A CF

She fed her dog £80 if meat in one go?!

CaribbeanCupcake · 17/06/2024 17:20

Yeah she defo didn't think that- she's stolen from you. Ask for the money back now!

Bloody hell - she'd be refunding me, right this bloody minute!

Tell her to transfer 80 quid to your account.

Procrastinates · 17/06/2024 17:18

What did she say when you told her to send the money for the meat?

There is absolutely no way she thought you'd brought the meat for the dog. Hmm
