[Starbuck]

Okay, I'm sitting here minding my own blessed business when my step daughter comes in at 9:45pm, after NOT coming home from school because her boyfriend picked her up from school earlier today. Because of this, she missed going out to dinner with everyone else. I didn't mind, she gets on my nerves anyways. I have a roommate right now who buys food with her own money but the kid just dives in and eats whatever she wants, without asking! I've told her more than once that my roommate buys things; I've gone so far as to put R's name on packages. I know this may sound selfish but R is on a fixed income and doesn't have the extra to try and feed us too. The deal is she can contribute if she wants but what she buys for herself, it's hers.

Anywho, the step daughter got in there and started finishing off a box of cereal that R had bought and when I merely asked which box of cereal she was pouring, she spouted off, "I don't appreciate your negative comment." That made my blood boil!!! My only recourse was to return her words right back to her, "and I don't appreciate your negative comment to me." Of course I kept saying it until she gave up and went to her room; yea! Point for me.
