Not sure if I am being unreasonable here
DD20 bf and his sister got themselves takeaway tonight and her bf didn’t offer to get her anything (just to add DD has paid for him before) they are going out to his family house and I told her if she’s hungry to let them know there.
AIBU that maybe her bf should have offered since she’s paid for him before or AIBU in my thinking?

She's 20. She should be able to tell her boyfriend she needs him to lend her money so I think it's a front to get her mum to send her money. For drugs potentially.

Yes, I think everyone knew what you meant.

It's the WHY of this being the first place that your brain went to that is causing the bewilderment.

That's a jump

MumOfOneAllAlone · 16/11/2024 19:10

They should've got her a takeaway, what kind of boyfriend is this?! That said, I wouldn't get involved, you'll only be punished for it x

SweetSakura · 16/11/2024 19:10

banananapancake · 16/11/2024 18:43

Why else would she lie to get money from her mum

How on earth did you leap to the conclusion she was lying?

Well DD messaged me they getting takeaway and I have no money for one

Um could you not of sent her the cost of the takeaway kind of sounds like that's what your DD was getting at ?

Merrygoround8 · 16/11/2024 19:13

YABU this this wrong. It’s not so much the stealing from supermarkets, it’s more the perpetuating the whole cycle. Sooner or later he will get caught and he will find a new method or “business” to run, and it could end up violent. You can’t trust an addict.

And if money is tight; £10 a week on laundry (even if knocknoff stuff!) is insane. You simply don’t need all of those products in thise quantities. Let me guess, you follow Mrs Hinch!

I also guess you’ve been doing this before mat leave and intend to after as well.

Exactly. She wanted the money

I'm absolutely pissing myself at this 🤣🤣🤣

autienotnaughty · 16/11/2024 19:17

If my dp bought a takeaway and I had to sit and watch him eat I would go home.

Username0123456789 · 16/11/2024 19:17

I'm going to guess students.
I find it extremely rotten of her boyfriend to see his girlfriend hungry even a cheap carton of chips/share his take away and bulk with something cheap.
Difficult when she's in his home and can't put herself into a vulnerable position but as soon as she's able definitely bin him.
Hope my daughter is as close to me when she's 20.

DancingNotDrowning · 16/11/2024 19:17

i have a 20 year old DD and this is exactly the sort of stream of consciousness she sends me every day 🤣

he’s been mean for not buying her takeaway

If she’s anything like mine, she’s messaged you a) because she wants validation for her feelings of disappointment (fine) and you to take pity on her and send her £20 for a takeaway (not fine)

nam3c4ang3 · 16/11/2024 19:17

Drugs 😂😂😂😂😂 what a fucking leap. I mean there are leaps - then there is this 😂🤣🙌🏼

Exactly!!
Can get well off your rocker for the price of a carton of chips and cheese.
Get a grip.

Username197 · 16/11/2024 19:19

Why has your adult daughter gone out with no money and moaning? Is she hungry? Why didn’t she eat first or what did she intend to do for dinner if she had no money? She’s going to his family house so you’ve told her to tell them if she’s hungry- eh? They might have already have eaten by time they get there. Why is it their responsibility to feed her?

YABVU and your DD needs to organise herself better to plan ahead, not rely on others to feed/sub her.

Redglitter · 16/11/2024 19:21

Well that escalated quickly

Hell of a leap there

Silvers11 · 16/11/2024 19:22

@ML5 How do you know that the BF didn't ask her if she wanted a takeaway and instead of her saying she was skint, she just said she wasn't hungry? I suspect she was hoping you would send her some cash? Is that possible?

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 16/11/2024 19:22

Did they say we are getting a takeaway do you want anything and she said no? Or did they just order and not ask if she wanted anything?

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 16/11/2024 19:23

banananapancake · 16/11/2024 18:43

Who says she is lying?
