Why do I get so annoyed?

[user33778]

My niece is planning to home school next year and she is going to stay over at my house. My mom cooks for them every time they come over and she has been using the organic meat that I am trying to keep a stock pile of because I don't want to constantly have to go to the store plus organic meat is expensive. My niece eats a lot and it's just my mom and I at my home. My mom can't work so she stays home and takes care of my nieces whenever my sister needs it. I'm annoyed at the fact that my mom uses my food to cook for them when my sister doesn't even buy them organic meat. Also I look forward to being alone in my home and now she is going to home school and probably wants me to play with her but I value my quiet time a lot plus they always want to be in my room and just mess up my bedsheets. I'm already getting a little stressed because I feel like I have to pay for food it's just me paying all the bills, food, utilities and HOA

why do you not tell your mom that the organic meat is what you bought for yourself?

why not say no if she asks to play with your niece?

why not set some boundaries? ? why not state that you pay for everything and would like some help? you are just letting them walk all over you. of course this is happening

I had a similar situation when my dad’s friend’s son stayed over at our house and I had to hide in my room the entire day cause he did not want to talk to me. Be grateful you have guests, even if the fringe on your territory, too much interaction is better than no interaction at all. I argue with mostly all my closest connections but I also know that we support and offer mutual concern for each other.

Sounds like you're annoyed because you want to be independent of responsibility that should NOT be yours.
Solution: move out

Thing is it's my condo. I'm not renting I bought it and mom lives with me now but she can't work. So I take care of all the bills and everything she can't drive either. I just feel pressure and not having my nieces come still the food I buy that is expensive that they don't even eat because my sister does not buy organic she feeds them anything and they are overweight so they eat more

[MicahRaine]

Well tell them to start paying for their own food or you'll evict them

[DarkLegacy]

You should not pay for everything, you need to confront them about this, as it sound like they are taking advantage

It's nice that you're taking care of your mom. You shouldn't have to take care of your neice though, tell her mother to pitch in for the food bill.

It is your place. Make some rules.

Set boundaries obviously
