The cost of living is high these days, and we're all feeling it. So, when Reddit user u/BlooregardQKazoo_ cooks, she usually tries to ensure she has enough for leftovers.

However, when the Redditor's brother brings his girlfriend home to visit, she has a habit of eating more than her fair share. The OP recently shared her story in the r/AITA (Am I The A**hole?) subreddit.

She explained that she recently cooked dinner for herself, her brother, and their two roommates. The meal took a lot of time and effort to make.

The OP was hoping to have leftovers because she was exhausted and didn't want to have to cook again the next day. However, the OP's brother brought his girlfriend over and they both ate some.

That wouldn't have been a problem, except the OP says her brother's girlfriend went back for seconds and thirds. The Redditor says she was okay with that because she knew there would still be enough left for her to have a small portion for lunch the next day.

But when the OP got up the following day and went to pack some leftovers for work, she realized her brother's girlfriend had eaten the last of it. They had even left the dishes in the sink for the OP to do.

The OP says she didn't care that much about missing out on leftovers. She was more annoyed because her brother's girlfriend does this often and never offers to reciprocate.

The OP does the grocery shopping for four people, but her brother's girlfriend always eats more than her share when she comes over. Sometimes, their other roommates even have to miss out because of her.

The Redditor says she had to have McDonald's for lunch the next day because her brother's girlfriend ate the leftovers she had planned to have. And she couldn't even be bothered to order the OP something on her DoorDash order.

The Redditor was understandably furious, so she told her brother that his girlfriend was no longer welcome to eat at their house anymore. Of course, the OP's brother argued, and his girlfriend felt bad.

But groceries aren't cheap, and the OP is sick of the food she buys just disappearing. The Redditor says she's not a food pantry and shouldn't have to feed an extra person for free.

The OP says all she wants is for her brother's girlfriend to be more considerate, but now she's wondering if she's the a**hole here. Keep scrolling to see how people reacted.

There needs to be a better arrangement.

"Make everyone contribute."

Brother needs to share his own portion with his girlfriend.

If she can afford DoorDash, she can afford to chip in for groceries.

You aren't their personal chef.

"The gall!"

"Lame!"
