WIBU to tell him to go home or shut up?

[PineappleSeahorse]

I rarely have guests as I don't enjoy it, but I have a family member staying with me for a week while he has work done in his house.(We're three days in) and I already want to murder him.

I've stocked the fridge and cupboards full and told him to help himself and I'm making meals but heaven forbid that I eat anything too. There were sausages which he's been eating and I had two yesterday(he had some too). He was looking for the sausages today and I told him we finished them yesterday, but there's bacon, eggs, tuna, cheese, ham etc. He said "You ate them? I was looking forward to sausage. Oh I suppose I'll just have to have bacon now. I wasn't really in the mood for bacon, just sausages but I suppose they'll have to do now that you've eaten them."

He's said that about other things too, bloody orange juice because I dared to have some. Some of my own birthday cake which I'm not supposed to touch. I bought the frozen M&S Pain au chocolat for his breakfast yesterday along with eggs I made. I don't eat breakfast as I told him p but said I'd have one later with coffee, and put two aside. He ate all six. "Oh I didn't think you'd want any."

Is it me? Would I be justified in telling him to leave if my existence in my own home bothers him so much?

YANBU at all. Tell the cheeky bastard to go and buy his own food and then you can both eat what you want.

I'm amazed you have already told him to go and buy his own bloody food! Stop waiting on him hand and foot too. He should be offering to help as thanks for you putting him up.

*haven't not have!

I also had the audacity to put my sausages on a roll. "I see you're having one of my rolls." It doesn't seem to occur to him that he isn't the only person who needs to eat.

I've left him to make his own breakfast and lunch today because I'm pissed off. I think he can make his own meals from now(If I don't kick him out first)

I'd be showing him the front door.

Tell him to go stay in a hotel

Suggest that he go to the bloody shops, the nerve of the man!

Um, you what? He does not get to have any say over what gets consumed, or when, or by whom. He has no rights to any food that he has not himself bought, other than to say thank you very much.

Sorry, he'd be sent packing with that attitude, if I were you. That's beyond rude and entitled.

I sometimes have a flair for the dramatic gesture. I can see myself overnight emptying the fridge, the freezer, the pantry, the teabags, everything.

If he asked, I might say something along the lines "Oh, you ate it all. I was looking forward to a … whatever".

But I can be petty.

Sorry, Waitrose pains au chocolat. M&S sausages. I feel like going out and buying more sausages, cooking them and eating the lot in front of him. I wish that I'd bought the cheapest sausages ever now.

What the fuck?

I’d return the favour. ‘Oh I see you’re drinking my coffee’

Or hide the toilet roll ‘oh I didn’t think you’d want any’

Cheeky bastard!

Did you not ask him what the heck he was on about when he referred to the food you bought as his?

I am very tempted to do just that, TheSandGroper. Who the hell just expects the host to sit there and eat nothing?

I'm so annoyed with myself now for making an effort and buying nice things when I knew he could be selfish and greedy, but this is a new level.

Hiding the toilet roll is genius. I am so very tempted.

This would drive me mad !

It's your house! If anything, he should be buying all the food as a bloody thank you for letting him stay!

No. I didn't say anything as I was so taken aback, but I'm not going to play nice now. I like to be a good host when I do have visitors but there are limits.

Stop buying him food. Eat out. Make a chart so you can count down the hours until the CF is gone.

Talk to him now or you won't be talking by the time he leaves. Tell him if he wants specific things he can buy them, you were trying to be nice and generous but didn't expect him to be so greedy so from now on leave your stuff alone. Ass.

I couldn’t abide selfishness like that. And from a grown man? How ridiculous!

If it were me, I’d strip the kitchen and bathroom cupboards. I’d leave nothing for him. Fuck all. Not a teabag, not a crust.

If he asked for anything, I’d parrot his words back at him. ‘Oh, I didn’t think you’d want any. I was looking forward to that. Still, I suppose I’ll have to have something else.’

Selfish sod.

Tell him to bigger off! This is food that you have bought in your own house? Who does he think he is?

Tell him it's not working out and he needs to leave.

Who exactly is this family member?

I think maybe you ought to tell him to buy his own food for the rest LG his visit, and allocate a sheen the fridge for his stuff.

Blimey, having anyone staying for a full week would drive me demented, never mind a CF! He should be bloody grateful you are having him to stay!

If it were me he'd be fucking gone!
