Dd age 14 has two friends in her room waiting for her to get ready.
The two girls have just come down and made cheese and ham bagels for themselves dd and my younger dd who has already eaten a good lunch.

Am I unreasonable to be really cross. I have just told them all off.
I can't afford to buy more bagels, cheese and ham. They were suppost to last until Thursday.
And I think its just so rude.
I would have been a bit cross if dd had made them, but the two girls just coming downstairs and going through the fridge and cupboard has shocked me. Is this usual behaviour these days?
They are fairly new friends too. I could understand with a very close friend we have known years but this isn't the case
Dd seems to think they have done nothing wrong.

What's all this nonsense about manners and rudeness? Is the suggestion that they didn't ask the daughter, and just helped themselves? If that's the case of course it's very rude and I wouldn't have them back in my house.

But in reality the daughter must have told her friends it was okay to get food, which would clearly imply that this was okay with her parents. So what possible blame can you put on the visitors? Why the shouting up the stairs? You've now embarrassed them, and really embarrassed your daughter, making your home a less welcoming place to her friends, all because you did not have the patience to approach the situation rationally or calmly.

They were guests in your house, your DD had given them permission to make a snack, you were very rude to tell them off!
You should have had a quiet word with your DD in private.

She must have been mortified.
