Try to be polite when you say it but say "i don't mind you guys eating the stuff i buy, but can you please ask me first? it would be nice to know that your going to have some so i can know if i'm running out." if you say that in the nicest terms possible then you should be okay. Mostly just BE POLITE. |

Well, your avatar name is Skinny Girl, so obviously you need to eat more. I would polietly mention that you are skinny and need to consume more food but it's hard when it's gone. Something of that nature. |

Well first off, you have been staying at his mothers. If you have been there rent free then its just respectful that you share food.
Do they know its just for you? If not then they likely think you are just contributing.
Talk to your boyfriend if you are uncomfortable speaking to his mother and sister. |

You can tell them that you are a picky eater and that you would love to share your food with them, but you can't afford to buy more when they eat it. Offer them to eat it too, but only if they will please replace it that day or the next. It's a nice way of putting it so you hopefully won't offend them. |

How about offering them the food instead, that way it'll make you a better giving person and maybe they'll remember that the food actually belongs to you. |

imitation is the greatest form of flattery..maybe they think that they will look like you if they eat your food. maybe they have never been exposed to a great diet! You may be teaching them about nutrition....don't say anything...you will be happy down the road if you just grin and bear it. |

huh???? am i reading this correct....."you" are staying in "their" house and you are upset they are eating your food???? i know food doesn't come for free but neither does a roof over your head, be thankfull and go get some more... some for them and some more for yourself.....
unless you want to be RESENTED for not appreciating their "hospitality" I would keep quiet about the missing chow....... |

sorry there is nothing to say the family just comes it is a package deal. so my advice is to go eat out or hang on. |

The next time one of them is running to the supermarket, ask them, "do you mind buying x, y, and z while you're out?" They'll probably stop eating your food if they have to share in the cost. Otherwise, they're sharing in the cost, so it's not all bad.
Editorial: I just realized that YOU are staying at THEIR house and will have been there for 6 weeks by the time you leave. Jesus, let them eat your food, cook them dinner, and buy them weekly flowers and some chocolate while you're at it. |

This sounds very odd. I take it you contribute to the household expenses while you stay? Are you on a particular diet? Have you explained to them that you can only eat certain foodstuffs? Do you take your meals separately from the rest of the household? Perhaps if you offer to cook a meal for everyone and then explain while everyone is eating that the reason you buy your own food is because you only eat certain things then they might understand? Only other suggestions are keeping non-perishable items in your room and not in the fridge, or asking them directly. You could also try mentioning casually that you noticed they seem to like such-and-such and item and tell them where you buy it? Its a very tricky situation - good luck! |

It is only a week, but have you talked to them? Are you paying rent or anything? |

If it's just another week, don't. Also, don't buy anything else to leave at the house, just enough for what you need at that moment. |

your in there home .....do you ask to turn the light on? flush the toilet? well unless you keep your things seperate maybe under lock and key.then they would have to ask , other wise your costing them money to be there maybe they think your contributing to the pot!!! otherwise i dont know of a polite way to say leave my stuff alone. |

Well, you are talking avantage of their hospitality aren't you? They probably don't see it your way since you are putting your food in their fridge in their house.
Familys share their food. Welcome to the family! |

If it's only one more week, wait it out, no point in getting your boyfriend, his sister and mom cross over some food. It's not worth it. Just don't restock that much until you are out of there. |

If you are staying with them, you're kinda gonna have to live by their rules. If I were you, I'd change my perspective. They are helping you out, right? Help them out. |

First, just while one or both is around. Be like "Ah man I can't believe I ate all of my _____ already. There goes my paycheck!" Talk to your boyfriend. And hey maybe it's okay if you are staying there free of charge? |

Call them from your new apartment after you move out. Until then, be respectful. |
