so i am angry because whenever i am bout to cook my brother tells me to cook enough for everybody and than when we are at the grocery store he keeps saying we need to spend less money on food so,

i am counting calories so i weigh everything raw so i can calculate it but he cooks everything all at once and puts it in the fridge and someone opened the freezer a day ago and 2 chicken breasts fell out and no one put them back in the freezer soon enough so now there are only 2 left

so basically i have to cook a ton of food at once because everybody else wants some
but at least i can weigh my own food before cooking but how am i supposed to do this everyday when he keeps telling me to not buy certain things at the grocery store because it costs more even though he doesnt pay for any of it and than he wants me to cook for everybody using all the food we have so i wont even be able to make it through the week and i have to use my money to buy like a sandwich or something when we run out of food that isnt cooked that i can weigh this sucks

want i want to say is ■■■■ you, cook your own damn food im gonna buy the ■■■■ that i put on my list when we go to the grocery store i dont care your not paying for it so ■■■■ off i cant wait until he goes back to school and moves into his apartment so i can be alone and not always paranoid about all these people he brings in the house everyday or angry that i cant even cook for myself without him wanting me to cook all of it at once or buy food in the grocery store without getting nagged about price

My moms the same way about things, but its not just food. She’ll tell me you don’t need to spend all that money on such and such (say for instance clothes). But then in the same breath she turn and say oh but you should buy yourself an outfit for this occasion, or in case this happens…so I’m confused, should I spend my money or not spend my money? And if I’m going to spend my money it might as well be on something I’d rather buy then just to have…like she’s saying I need a black outfit in case something ever happened to my grandmother whose 93. Or I need an outfit for my cousin’s wedding in June. But yet I also need every day clothes like new t-shirts and shorts but I can’t afford both a nice outfit for one or possibly two (if I get the right thing) occasions or something I’d wear every day…

If that were my brother I’d have to tell him to put up, or shut up.
Meaning share the expense and he can have a say in what you buy, otherwise keep quiet.
Tell him he needs to find a maid to do his work for him.
