She is 19 for god sake!

She has hers when she gets in from work around 7:15pm . She has probably quite a large meal for some one her size (she is very petite) finishes it all off then with in an hour or so I can hear her in the kitchen faffing about looking for food.

Recently she has taken to taking food off dp plate as he gets in at 9:30 ish.

She knows it's left for him And I tell her to leave it alone. I didn't plate his up tonight (did a beef curry) I heard her come down stairs and go in the kitchen. I heard the lid off the pan lift up, I told her to leave his bloody tea alone, then a few seconds later I heard her put it back and go back upstairs.

Just been in to check and she had took all the fucking meat out of it bar one shitty morsel!

If she gets hungry she knows she can make toast or cereal but to be taking his food - when she knows it's for him and that's all there is pissing me off.

I've just been up and told her off - she said she only had a tea spoon full Hmm

I don't know what her problem is.

ilove on the face of it, yes it can seen rude. But I'd just spent the past hours sat on the couch having a laugh with her about daft questions she could be asked. I think the mood was jovial that maybe why she laughed when I told her to get out the pot. It want a sneer or a smirk it was a laugh. A naughty caught out laugh.

When she want upstairs I had to follow because I didn't want her getting away with it again and I felt I hadn't been forceful enough. The "ok, stop going on about it" wasn't said in a derogatory tone it was a case of " oh my god mums chased me in to my room " look and going to say what I can to get her out .

Well that's my take on it. Biased maybe.

Yes you are biased - because chances are that you've been quite soft in your dealings with her til now, so she's been getting away with it for years.

Being forceful and strict isn't your usual MO with her, is it? So it's going to be interesting to see how you manage to bring that side of you out with her - to start with she's not going to take it seriously if you've never really done that with her before - but keep going, and do impose some form of "sanction" if she continues, so that she gets the message that, actually, you ARE completely serious and she needs to pack it in.

Hopefully there has been no food nabbing today.

I'd ask for your toiletries back or set a deadline to get them yourself. I'm mean though (three sisters).
One if my sister's DC is a bit like this. Love him to bits but he can be self centered and will lie to your face.
