To be fuming at adult DD?

My adult (21 y/o) DD is staying for two weeks. She has been taking the Mick since she arrived, but I think this might be the straw that broke the camel's back.

I bought 20 meters of wrapping paper for dd2 (7 y/o)'s presents. I have wrapped a few, but have the majority to do tonight. I have just gone to get the wrapping paper and it isn't there. DD1 has used the lot today, and also failed to mention it while I was at three different supermarkets getting the stuff the other ones had run out of. She has not mentioned it at all. I have just asked her if she has seen it and she said "oh yeah, I thought it was just spare. I was going to replace it but" and then just walked off. I have about 15 presents to wrap and even the Tesco express and Sainsbury's local are closed. I have printer paper, baking paper and kitchen foil. I am fuming. AIBU? How the hell do I wrap the presents now??? The bit that has really pissed me off is that the presents she has wrapped are for people she isn't even going to see for at least another week, so she could have bought some between now and New Year.

Sounds like something my children would do - not thinking ahead or thinking of others - not a grown, adult independent woman of 21.

So no, YANBU.

Get the presents she used your paper on, carefully unwrap them and use that paper. If you can't send her out to the local 24hr shop.

That's awful. Get in there and ask her how she proposes to resolve this. Can she drive?

That is bloody cheeky. Any friends or neighbours would have any to spare? Send her off on a hunt.
