Dm took all the food for my kids!

[Littlechesnuttree]

Newly single mum here hi!

dm visited this weekend to ‘help’ largely consisted of me running errands for her and bringing cups of tea.

here’s the thing, she brought her dog who she only feeds meat (she won’t listen) so steak, chicken, mince etc.

i went to the butcher on the weekend and bought our meat for the month, steaks, whole chickens, lamb leg, chicken breast, meat and even duck breast.

all in all £80 or more likely. Had them in fridge before I could sort and put in freezer.

i had a kids bday party so was getting kids ready whilst dm was packing up.

go to the fridge this morning and it’s all gone… all the meat.

she thought I bought it for her dog. So now not only got to do a freezer tea for the kids but ive got to rebuy it all.

dm didn’t offer to replace and lives too far away to return.

aibu to think this is barmy behaviour? You check before you clean out someone’s fridge

What did she say when you told her to send the money for the meat?

There is absolutely no way she thought you'd brought the meat for the dog.

Tell her to transfer 80 quid to your account.

Bloody hell - she'd be refunding me, right this bloody minute!

She hasn’t fed her dog a month’s worth of meat in the time it took you to set up a children’s party; so she has dog food for a month. Tell her to send you the money.

Yeah she defo didn't think that- she's stolen from you. Ask for the money back now!

She fed her dog £80 if meat in one go?!

What kind of people help themselves to the contents of other people’s fridges without asking first? Mum is a Grade-A CF

She put it in her car and took it home for later

No she didn't take it, she stole it.

Send her your bank details. Ask for £80 to replace the meat that wasn't for her dog.

She's taken it with her. The dog didn't eat all of that

Why haven't you told her to transfer the money to you?

Then she’s a thief. Tell her to send you the money immediately.

Tell her she needs to pay for it. This isn’t hard.

Yep, this does seem hard to believe

Send her your bank details to transfer the money. Why wouldn't you?.. We took mil out for lunch.. First time I had met her.. She ordered the best steak.. Then wrapped it up to take him for their bloody mongrel!!
Never invited her anywhere again.

Definitely just ask for the money!! Can dogs even eat duck breast?!

Tell her to transfer the money or return the meat - her choice .

Nobody sees £80 of meat in someone else's fridge and thinks they bought t for a dog but doesn't mention it and then takes it and still doesn't mention it!

Really? 🤔

I’m confused why would she think you bought it for her dog? Are you in the habit of buying butcher meat for her dog? Ask her to transfer the money to you and tell her under no circumstances has she to remove food to take home from your fridge again. This is all very odd.

Jesus wept 😱.

I agree with the person who said she stole from you. And her grandchildren 😥.

Do you usually buy £80 worth of meat for her dog? Why did she think this may have been the case this time?

yes she will ask me here and there to get meat for her dog and she did ask me to get some steaks but I got 2 and told her as such, they were labelled as ‘for dog’

Obviously tell her to send you the money for the stolen food.

Have you actually asked her for the money?
