Sharing a house with other people is always an ordeal, but sometimes certain individuals make it much more difficult. To give you an example, a mother recently shared her harrowing experience with her stepfather. Apparently, this lady had been purchasing fruit to make baby food for her child. However, this woman in Texas is sick of her stepfather not taking a hint because he kept eating the fruit, leaving the baby without that food. When confronted, the stepdad even showed off his sexist side, making the whole situation even worse.
The OP shared her sad story involving this irresponsible man. According to her, she moved into her mom’s house, where her mom lives with her husband, the OP’s stepdad. OP had been purchasing fruit to make baby food for a few weeks now. However, it seems that in this family in Texas, the stepfather has been eating all the fruit, leaving the lady without any fruit or food for the baby.
Naturally, this became an annoyance for her, and she eventually decided to take it to Reddit to expose this man. The OP provided even more context, claiming that she is living in her mother’s house. It was the mother who invited her to live with her because she had a high-risk pregnancy with HG and a lot of weight loss.
The OP also says that she buys most of the food for the house because she isn’t working, but the stepdad doesn’t respect food boundaries, as he goes through the fridge eating all the fruit, and when he’s done, continues with the baby food.
Then, she also mentioned how this man is forcing the OP to move out because “she has to learn a woman’s job,” which, according to this sexist person, is only to take care of the baby and her partner.
For those wondering about the OP’s partner, she has a boyfriend, who is the baby’s dad, but works as a long-haul trucker, which means he isn’t around all the time. This is a bit unfortunate, as she could really use more help in-house, especially right now.
After the OP shared her story, many people started giving advice, some of it a bit extreme, but suitable for this situation.
“Just get a bloody cage and lock the fruits/baby food up in the fridge. The selfish animal can’t control itself, and a message needs to be sent,” commented DrDarks.
“Get a lockable fridge box. Or a lockable mini fridge for your room,” said kittenherder93.
Ultimately, OP has the final word, but the above recommendations are pretty good. Still, she mentioned in the post that she’s planning to move out in a few months, so that might be the only permanent solution to this problem.
