Help! My Mom Threw Out My Food – What Should I Do?

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice here. So, I recently moved back in with my mom for a bit to save up some money. Everything was going fine until yesterday. I came home from work, opened the fridge, and noticed that all my food was gone. I asked my mom about it, and she said, “Przychodzisz w gości, to jesz to, co ci dają,” which basically means, “When you come as a guest, you eat what you’re given.” She threw out my food because she believes that since I’m living under her roof, I should follow her rules, including eating what she cooks.

I get that it’s her house and her rules, but I bought that food with my own money, and I had specific dietary needs that she doesn’t really cater to. I’m feeling really frustrated and disrespected. I don’t want to cause a big fight, but I also don’t want this to keep happening.

Jerry, David, Nathan, Ariana, Grace, Ellie, or anyone else, have you ever been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? Should I just suck it up and eat whatever she makes, or is there a way to talk to her without causing a huge argument? Any tips on how to approach this conversation would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance!
