Just a rant and ill try to keep it short.
Where I live, I live for free bc i grew up in foster care. I get $320 a month to spend on groceries and a $45 phone card that I'm required to buy by my social worker. My boyfriend who iant suppose to live with me does. But he doesnt help me buy groceries, cleaning supplies ext. Sometimes he will buy toilet paper. He has a full time job and makes 4x what I make in a month. Is it just me or should he be helping me buy groceries? Hes only bought them twice in the past 7 months only apending a total of about $175 both times combined. If that. Idk if its my hormones or the fact we've faught all day but I just cant get over it.
@beccaaalynnn11 that's crazy lol. I always make lists and get like 150-180 worth of food each time i go which is usually twice a month. But this month has been really hard bc be hasnt been able to work due to the weather so we ate more then we usually do
- Hell no I don’t 😅 No patience for that.. But I do sometimes go to Brookshire’s if they have bogo deals.. my main focus is dinner, money wise. Breakfast is simple; cereal, bagel and spread, fruit and oatmeal. Lunch for him is usually some of whatever was dinner the night before. And dinner varies from crockpot stews to steak and veggies..
Yeah I’d tell him that he needs to contribute or he can go pay rent somewhere.. I can’t stand when people are stingy with money ..
@southernbelle3264 girl lol that's what a savings account is for. I would just straight up tell him he needs to contribute.
- I feed me and my guy on $196 a month, and that’s including all my cravings.. Does he pay for anything ?
@southernbelle3264 I definitely think you should have a talk with him abt it.
@jleona thats how i feel but ive never asked him to pay for anything or buy anything. Our kitchen is empty. All we have is a box of pancake mix and a few cans of veggies & all he bought was $24 worth of groceries when he got paid on Thursday.
@southernbelle3264 Right. He should definitely be helping. Does he have a reason as to why he doesn't help? Just seems weird lol
@twistedrenots nothing. Which like I said I dont have to pay any bills or rent bc of my situation. But still $320 is not enough to feed two people for a whole month.
He should be contributing to everything that costs you any money. Seeing as tho you live rent free, he wouldn't have that luxury if it wasn't YOU. He should be putting money out for anything you are required to pay for in the house.
Hmm if he ain't helping u in your house not really buying groceries only twice or buy house supplies he shouldn't be living with you he eat your food use your lights in gas use your tissue but don't want to put in & he work oh no I can do bad all by myself you shouldn't even have to tell him real man do that for their woman & pay bills to it's 50/50
