I had to leave my husband because he was lying and sneaking around. See my other questions to get the whole story! Now I am staying at my moms house with my kids. Well, today I noticed that some of the paper plates that i bought for my kids to eat off of were used. My kids are at school so I knew right away that my mom had used them. This really upsets me because they are NOT hers to use. They are MINE! I really feel like she is invading my property and my space. I have no idea what makes her so selfish. :( What should I do?

that is kinda rude. Tell her not to use them. If she uses them again insist that she buy more. It's not her money it's yours! It's for your kids not for your mom. She is kinda selfish!

What should you do? Move. Be thankful you are not homeless and your Mom open her door to you and your kids. How would you feel if your Mom gets upset because she doesn't won't you & kids sleeping in her beds, and using her items around the house? I can see if she was sneaking around in more personal items (paperwork, clothing) but her eating off a paper plate that you bought shouldn't be a big deal. Why don't you purchase enough paper plates for all of you (including Mom). You are 30 love, grow up and be thankful that someone took you in when you are in need.

Try not to be too harsh on your mother. She is also helping you by opening her home to you and your children to have a safe place to go to get away from your husband.
Could it also be she didn't know she can't use these paper plates, of yours. I'm sure she doesn't get upset with you when you borrow her water for a shower or bath the kids , or open her fridge to get food from it and the hydro she must have to pay .
Try not to be so selfish after all there only paper plates and invading your space. Lady you got none while under her roof your lucky you have a mother who will let you stay with her. Some mothers say no to there children I know cause im one of them.
And I hope your giving her privacy and space in her own home. Im sure it must be quit an adjustment for you and two screaming kids to be around. Ever think of her privacy

Are you nuts? Are you really this shelfish or just pretending to be since this is just a question on the computer? You are a guest in her home. The least you could do is allow her to use a few paper plates. If her using a few plates is such a big deal maybe you should leave. After all you are invading her personal space by living in her home.

Are you on crack? I'll give you a dollar so you can go to the 99Cents only store and buy your mom a packet of paper plates.
Get over yourself.
PS if you're living with Mommy, do you pay the mortgage, water, trash, electricity, phone or cable bills?

let's see you moved back into your mom's house right? well she is providing everything for you & your kids so what is the big deal complaining about paper plates. your mom could have very well got rid of them because she feels that her grandkids shouldn't have to eat off of them & her dishes are in her house for a good reason & that is to use them.

I don't know the entire situation, but it sounds like you are being a little selfish.
Your mother opened up her home to you and your children, and you are getting upset about her using your paper plates?
My advice... Don't sweat the small stuff.

see a therapist, paper plates REALLY? it's her house, you and your children invaded her property and space and you want to fight over PAPER PLATES????? you're acting self centered, immature and petty....what should you do? grow up and get your own place to live. what an ungrateful person you are, she did not have to let you stay with her you know.

I think you have other issues besides paper plates getting used. They're just paper plates, it's going to be ok. Maybe you should put your things away this way nobody will get to them. I hope things get better for you, take care.

Ummm you DID move in to your MOTHER'S home right? Frankly it is YOU who are selfish...its HER home not your's go find your OWN space if you want space. You also might want to GROW up becaus you act more like 3 years old rather than 30.

First of all, it's you and your kids living with your mom in her house. The best thing you can do for yourself and your children is to move out of Mom's house just as soon as you possibly can. It's Mom's House......that's the key!
