Me and my fiance are renting an apt in a couple days, temporarily we live with them. We work 12 hour shifts together, and we are trying to save money. Everytime me and him buy food for us, they complain saying that we only think of ourselfs, But they do the same **** to. I really am tired of it, like we are suposed to provide for them all the time. When we did buy food for the house, my little sister ate it all in a matter of LESS than a week. Any suggestions?

You can't know what else someone you don't know has been through. Sounds like you and your Fiancee are handling things by getting your own place. I would tell your parents that you love them and appreciate all they have done but you are starting your own life and that has to be your focus. I would tell them that you won't be asking them for their financial help and won't expect to help them either but you are looking to have a good relationship with them based without money! I can tell by your response to the other answerers that you are very angry, people are trying to help you and who can know anyone else's situation by a paragraph! Calm down and be more loving this is what will help you. You sound like you have had parents that are control freaks you may have to move even farther away. The important thing is to let things calm down and ask them to be proud of you and excepting for who you are! I hope that things work out for you and get better, if your parents can't be loving right now that back off and get the love you need from your fiancee! Perhaps your parents aren't pushy at all, again not enough information!
Remember that you and your fiancee have a right to be happy and fulfilled and make sure all friends and family know that you will not be treated without respect and be willing to give it back.
Good luck! I hope in time your parents and you connect people get weird during stressful situations, give things time!

I guess my first question would be how long have you and your fiance lived with your parents and then how much rent do you and your fiance pay your parents? Do you and your fiance use your parent's food, soap, shampoo, detergent, etc.? Use their washer and dryer? Their electricity and cable TV? It would seem they might be a bit unreasonable if you have lived there only a few days or even a couple of weeks, but if it is a long term arrangement, it is costing them money - consider just hot water for one thing.
Possibly your parents are feeling a bit stressed right now, and they have to pay bills and live up to financial responsibilities. It isn't easy being a parent and the fact that they just got a settlement doesn't really come in to the equation - they probably need that for their retirement. Be a little tolerant with them and try to see their side of things. It sounds like they have really helped you out quite a bit by letting you stay with them and they have probably made it possible for you and your fiance to save enough money to get a place of your own.
Take care and try to enjoy the few days you have left at home with your parents. It may be the last time you actually live with them.

You are just a couple of days away from moving out, so upon leaving, make sure the room you occupied is totally cleaned and any laundry (towels and sheets) of theirs you used is done and folded neatly. Purchase a "thank you" card and let them know you appreciated the hospitality. And let sleeping dogs lie! That is a sign of respect to them, and makes you a very gracious person. No parent could personally ask for any more than that from their child.

My advice is to get the hell out of there ASAP. But until then, it's a matter of hiding food or at least telling your little sister to eat something else. (Perhaps recomend something for her to do during the time you're gone, like a dance class.)
And if your parents ask you for anything, just try to get out of it by saying you have plans, make sure you do.

So what agreements did you have with your parents when you moved in with them? Are you paying them any rent? So your parents are nice enough let you and your boyfriend live with them without paying rent? So you think that they have not right to even ask to help with the food. I think that your a spoil brat and you need to get your own place and see what it's really like to support yourself. I don't feel sorry for you one bit. It sounds to me like your the one that's needy. Send my sympathy to your parents

Your parents are responsible for where you stand today. You are thinking only of your fiancee not keeping in mind that if it were not for them you wouldnt get the basic education which has helped you get a job. Be supportive. This is when your parents need You!
