I live with my family, and that has many downfalls to it, but one thing that I do love about it is that my mom cooks dinner , and she loves to do it. Well my older brother recently moved back in as well. Tonight I was a little late getting my food because I was watching a show, but maybe 20 minutes after dinner was announced, i went to get my food, and none of it was left. My parents got theirs first and said they left ample food for both of us to eat, but my brother decided to take all of it....his excuse "i didn't think you were going to eat". He said sorry in a huffy, childish way trying to cause a scene like I was being mean to him. He is 30 years old, oh and another one of his so called excuses was "well i didn't even know you liked broccoli or noodles anyways"...He knows that I am a vegetarian now, I don't eat meat, so I am stuck to that sort of thing....it just really pisses me off that he is not mature enough at 30 years old just to own up and admit that he was an inconsiderate pig.
Have you ever been in a situation where somone hogged all the food, and left you with nothing?

In my house they were very strict. Your not home on time, it is your own fault. hahaha!
Normally they would keep my food warm for me. But there were times when I forget to phone home and tell them I was late, then there is no food. My own fault. hahaha!
I never worried about it, there is always bread in the house.
I was 27 years old when I moved back in the house with my parents. I took my two children with me and we lived with my parents for 14 years. My children who are adults, still live there. But, yes sometimes it can be very hard.
It is the difference in generations I think. We had three generations in our house, I was always stuck in the middle. hahaha!
But we love each other, that is what counts.
Take care.

After reading this...I was reminded of an incident when i was in school.My mom had made ice cream for us.My brother had the entire bowl of it...We had a fight at 12 in the night...I know it looks inconsiderate and selfish and thoughtless...But i think you are being childish too by making this into a big issue.I don't think your brother did it intentionally...So pls just put this behind you and never be late for your meals...hehehe!!!

My husband is THE FAT GUY. He plows through everything.
Make a pan brownies? He EATS THE WHOLE DAMN PAN in ONE SITTING!
Open a can of nuts...BAM! Entire can is GONE an hour later.
Box's of cereal last TWO sittings.
That's just effed up, ya know? So I called him on it.
In the middle of walmart (super walmart has groceries).
Since then, we started hiking together, NOT to the grocery store, but on the Appalachian trail, which has some seriously grueling terrain in central PA. Fat guy is realizing he cannot maintain his eating habits and still be able to do our new thing. I cook smaller portions, and now require him to take the ogres out for play time while I feed the horses in the evening...throwing 200 frisbee's is good exercise! Bet I have him slimmed down by the end of December!!!

Yes it happened to me once before! Somebody eaten my cake... And the worst about it, it was my birthday cake, and I didn't even had a small bite of it. 
I was full already and reserved the cake for the following day. Morning I went to school, I was planning to eat that as my merienda but when I opened our refrigerator, the cake is gone! Too bad I was really hungry! And that was my cake!!!

Hi Spicy. No I haven't been in a situation like that but I can understand your frustration. I would pummel him with hammer LOL! It is very inconsiderate and selfish to take all the food.
In my home, it's my kids who do that type of thing. If you want seconds you better eat faster than them or else you'll get none. LOL.

Thank you so much for your response :). I can understand how kids do that, but one thing that I urge you not to do, and my parents still do it at 22 and he is 30....don't play favorites. My parents and mother dismissed the whole thing because he is, and always has, and i guess always will, be the favorite. And in a general people concept, that really sucks. So to whomever reads this discussion, try your hardest to never play favorites with your kids.

Hi elrener: That was a funny answe. I can else advice you to invite all your family to eat something special except for your brother and then when he ask why you just tell him that it was because he didn't care about you when he ate your food. Lol. XD.

Yes it also happened to me once. The problem was, my suspect who had eaten all the food never admitted that she did it. That was really irritating especially that time I was really so starved. T really hate those kind of people who are very inconsiderate of others.

Hi friend. This situation is very common in our daily life.
If one is busy with his/her work, then he/she will often meet such a situation without any suddenness. You see, when I get up in the eaylr moring, then I will have to face the whole new day with a lot of work to do. Although the working place is near my house, I am still not sure if I can go home on time. If I am late, then it is obvious that I can eat nothing for my little brother has eaten all the food.
It is not worth bothering but I may feel a little sad because I am tired cooking myself.

Hi spicy sweety: i have to admit that i both have ate all the food without thinking about my brother and i have been else the victim of this. What i can say is that it's horrible how you feel when a person like your brother didn't care about you. I usually discuss at the momen, when things happend and not later. You can tell your brother that he is to old for acting like a little child, etc. Good luck with it. Have a nice day.
