Hellobee Boards

I am totally with you. Food cooked at home is free for all. But if it's something you specifically ordered, it's yours unless someone asks!

I'm with you! If it's something I specifically ordered and didn't finish, it is MINE unless I say otherwise. A few weeks ago we got takeout and we each ordered something. DH finished his, I didn't finish mine, so I saved it. The next day I had to work and DH didn't, but all day I was looking forward to my leftovers. I got home and DH had eaten them and honestly, I flipped. (May have had PMS at the time...) But I was so insulted that he ate them without even thinking to ask if I might want them. He felt really bad and went out and got me the same meal over again. And he'll probably never make that mistake again.

Any food I make UNLESS it's a special occasion, it's a free for all. i.e. if you eat the cake I made for a party, I will cut you.

Restaurant leftovers belong to he/she who ordered them. You do not get my leftovers because you pigged out on yours and didn't save any

Uh yea, those are MY leftovers! I ordered them, I enjoyed them ENOUGH to take the leftovers home, I get to finish MY unfinished meal. If he wanted take out left overs he should have not finished his meal at the restaurant.

@Raindrop: Restaurant leftovers belong to the person that ordered them. That's even stranger that it's your BIL! Your germs are all over that food, it's not like home cooked stuff that people scooped out of the pan. You put your fork in your mouth and then back in that food... so, so weird.

@Raindrop: steak?' Oh hell naw! You need to give BIL some house rules! Or write your name all over everything lol.

@IRunForFun: It's like kissing your BIL

@Raindrop: I so so feel you with your bil rants. My BIL lived with us for 6 months. It was not fun.

@Kimberlybee: Same! DH always asks me if I'm going to finish.

My BIL (who we don't see very often any more) used to come into our house unannounced and eat our food, including my leftovers. It was so incredibly weird and rude. So, I totally get it!

For home cooked meals, it's usually down to the person that cooked it to decide if they want to eat it or give it to the other person. But for take out, I totally agree with you.

My dad is just like your DH. Growing up, I had to get really creative on how I would hide my leftovers b/c he would eat everything!

I don't usually have to worry about DH b/c he didn't really grow up with leftovers and most of my stuff is covered in cheese. He's strange and just doesn't like cheese. More for me! Except I get mad at him when he doesn't eat his leftovers and we have to throw them out. So wasteful!

What I order at a restaurant is mine at home unless I give expressed permission for someone else to consume. My husband and I are on the same page about this. But, I have tosay growing up whatever my parents ordered was up for grabs!

Yours! Especially since food from a restaurant is a premium left over.

It's mine if I ate off the plate at some point, home or at a restaurant.

If it was communal with a serving spoon, anyone can eat it.

I would be livid if someone ate my leftover meal on me. Js. My food is mine!!!
