Ok.. To start off with I invited the "contractor" to have Christmas dinner with us because he had no other plans. I also told him if he wanted leftovers the following day he was welcome to them. All is cool, he helped himself.. no problem...

The young girl that is renting the other room and her boyfriend also had Christmas dinner with us. I told her she was welcome to the leftovers. Thinking that "SHE" would be the only one to eat the lleftovers. Well, she cleaned up the turkey with her boyfriend today. I baked a ham today and I don't know who she is feeding but half of the ham is gone. The deal was SHE could eat anything, not to feed the neighborhood.

Am I being selfish or cranky. I don't mind sharing. I do mind taking! Not only did she take a lot of ham she dug to the bottom to get the "best" larger pieces. I am kind of pissed. Like I said I told her "she" could eat which means food for HER. Not her boyfriend and whoever else she is feeding........*she usually has a few friends here too"...

Common sense would be only she'd only take for herself. Some folks just don't have common sense. I know for a fact if I rented a room and was invited to eat food I would NEVER take food to feed others.

I don't know ..grrrrrrumbling Give folks an inch they always take advantage. Is this the correct expression, give an inch they'd take a mile> Seems this happens all the time to me.

Her boyfriend lives up the street with his parents. It is not like he goes hungry or needs food.....If anyone was hungry I'd give them food.... That isn't the issue. Think it is just the "taking" that bothers me.....
