That this is a reasonable request and I don’t deserve to be told to fuck off

I have 3 dc. 20, 16, 13 plus me and dp

I do 2 food shops a week and meal plan. Without fail twice a week the older 2 dc will see the shopping arrive and eat as much as they can, if I’ve got 3 of something one of them will have 2. Time and time again 13 y o ds goes without

I’ve come in today from work and older 2 have eaten all the strawberries that only arrived this morning (3 punnets). I’ve spoken to them both and been told to fuck off! Why do they insist on eating more of their share every time knowing that one person will then go without ?

I can’t just buy more as I’m trying to budget and this is really irritating me

One is female. Other than that unspecified. But does it matter? Whichever sex they are they were unforgivably rude and completely out of order.

The OP has said that they’re both female (and the 13 year old is a boy).

So it is a bit weird that posters keep referring to them as male…

Op, how did the talk go? Are you ok? Has anything changed in the last few days?

The real question here is …why have you allowed him to speak to you in this way? That’s a hard line unacceptable for me, he’d be invited to move out asap and not to touch any food he hasn’t bought for himself until then! It’s disgusting, greedy, selfish behaviour then to swear at you for being called out in it? Nasty, entitled behaviour.

Why are you referring to them as male. It has been pointed out many times that they are female.

I lived at home until my early 20s and can’t even imagine telling my mum to fuck off. I wouldn’t have the lack of respect to speak to my own mother like that. They need to fuck off out of your house OP, disrespectful freeloading little shits.

The tone change in replies since the children were revealed to be female is really quite something

If DD told me to fuck off and was an adult, she’d be out the door, swiftly followed by her suitcase.
