stealing from a single mother...
Stealing from a newly single mom is one of the lowest things you can do.. I'm so frustrated right now. I went and did groceries for my daughter to last until I get paid and my brother took it upon himself to take all of it. He's taking food out of my daughter's mouth and all I want to do is cry because I'm so frustrated. I had to move in with my family because my apartment that I'm supposed to move into had some issues so they are gutting it and redoing it. Its extremely hard when I live with a kid that says he can't control his eating habits. I'm going to start locking her food in my parents room but I figured if it was labeled for my daughter it would be safe but apparently people in this house lack a heart. ?
Thats horrible Op, I hope your parents replace it all. I do feel your anger and frustration.
I lived in a townhouse roughly 18 yrs ago with my first 2 kids. Youngest at the time was 2. I had my groceries delivered as i didn't have a car back then and they delivered them early. Shouldn't have been much of a problem as we had 6 foot fences so no one would have known. Except my neighbour watched. They'd moved in a few weeks prior and actually took ALL my groceries. A few hundred worth. They denied and denied until i stormed in after their little girl let slip to my daughter. I found all my groceries and even the little golden books my kids had chosen, hidden under the stairwell. Scumbags. The grocery store offered to replace all but declined. They did however replace what was missing and also added some extras even though they didn't have to.
Normally they lock the kitchen when they go to bed but when I moved in that chafed so I could have access to it for my daughter.
@sarah I definitely agree but it never hurts me as much when it's my food taken. Take my snacks whatever but don't take food out of my daughter's mouth. I'm limited on funds for a couple weeks because of how much I had to fork out for my move and had to borrow the money for her food from my ex and now I have to call him and have him send me even more so I can go out and replace the almost 100 dollars of groceries for my daughter that my brother ate in a matter of a day.
My room is in the room off the living room. The laundry room and one of the other bathrooms is connected to it and the only way you can access those are through my room so I can't lock that door as my 3 year old brother needs easy access to a bathroom. If get a small fridge but at this point Theres no room in my bedroom to keep a fridge. My best bet is to lock it in my mother's room but I don't have access to it when Shes not home. I can talk to her about giving me the key to it when she leaves so I can grab my daughter's food when she needs it but that's really my only option as my brother with tear apart things looking for food. I'd give my daughter food that's already here but they don't really have anything that's proper for an 11 month old to eat. My family doesn't eat very healthy at all and I don't want my daughter eating grease or junk food. ?
He's got self control issues. Loves eating. Even when he's full. He's been to a doctor and there's nothing wrong with him that causes it. He just wants to eat all the time cause it's fun for him I guess. I don't know the whole situation. Locking the doors at night wouldn't save my groceries because my father unlocks it in the morning and there's enough time between the time my dad leaves in the morning and when my brother leaves for him to throw everything in his bag.
