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?

He’s a crap bf.

She should have just come home.

No I don’t think you should’ve sent money for a takeaway as just propping up a bad situation with him.

Money to get home if she needed to get out of there and food at home.

Nothing wrong with being close but she’s 20 and needs to be more independent and leave in this type of situation not ask Mum to fund it.

She's probably too shy/ awkward to ask to be subbed. I know I was at that age. And my youngest sister is 19 whenever I ask her to baby sit which is rarely I always give her £20 and get a McDonald's. This is the norm so it's expected. One time my OH worded it like "hey, do you want a McDonald's?" And she said no because she was too embarrassed to say yes to a question like that, when I reworded it like "don't mind him, what do you want from McDonalds" she told me what she wanted, it's just a lack of confidence. I feel for her, it's not nice not having money to pay for yourself in these situations. It's a lesson learned though, always have £20 somewhere incase you find yourself in a situation like this

My concern here is that she’s too shy to speak up to someone she’s (probably) having sex with?!….
I f she’s able to be intimate with this bloke then surely she can call him out on not buying her a pizza or giving him a slice of hers (or whatever takeaway it was !)…
If she can’t talk to her partner about stuff as basic as this then they should not be sleeping together … she needs to leave him and work on herself

Goodness, what a charmer!

I am confused 🫤.
So the boyfriend and the boyfriend’s sister ? got themselves a takeaway and didn’t ask your daughter if she’d like something?
I understand most young people don’t have much spare cash , but in that situation I know for a fact my youngest daughter would offer to share the food she’d ordered .
She wouldn’t necessarily order extra items though but she would share .

Wow this lot are so understanding 🙄 Yes! That was horrible that he and his sis got a takeaway and he didn’t make sure she got one too! I would be really annoyed also. Unless she pretended she wasn’t hungry out of embarrassment I’d be telling her to dump him. Not the type of guy I’d want my daughter to have as her partner 👎

What?

You must be dealing with very anti-social kids of your own!

Sure he should’ve offered but I’m a bit baffled that you’re this invested that you’ve started a thread about it 😂 I find it bizarre that your daughter, at twenty, text you about it anyway. Why on earth would paying for it fall to you, they’re grown adults!

Asking this community to help when you made a decision you weren't sure about or had to take a decision, is just what this group is for. If you think you have the right to be critical in this impolite way then you are in the wrong group.

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.

Glad my daughter doesn't have you for a boyfriend's Mum !
