teens and lack of respect!

I'm fucking livid.

DD has just finished her exams and I planned a special meal for all her grandparents before she leaves to go inter-railing (at theirs and her request). Yesterday i bought a big punnet of strawberries for the meal and as she stood there watching me unpacking the food shop specifically said- "don't eat these strawberries, I'm saving them for Sunday to ave with ice-cream.

Just been in the fridge- and she's opened and eaten some them! There was tons of other fruit she could have had- raspberries, mangoes, melon, apples, oranges, bananas, apricots etc.

Why should i make dinner for her and everyone when she can't even have the minutest tiny bit of respect for the small request I made!

And DH has gone to bed because when I got mad he said "you're obviously in a funny mood"

So not only is there no respect- I'm now ostracised because I'm upset about the utter contempt I'm treated with.

Maybe your DH ate them?

They've all been disrespectful, OP. A 'funny mood'; it sounds like you tolerate a lot, to support your family, & they aren't used to you voicing your frustration.
Teen self-centring is frustrating. But- you'll not see her for a while, so try to keep it from being the straw that breaks you...though DH could do with a few words about minimising once the inter-railer is dined & seen off.
I hope you can breathe, & sleep.
Eat the remaining strawbs! Because you're worth it.
