There's never anything to eat in my house?

[Anonymous]

Okay so every single day whenever I get home from school I'm always hungry. Yes I eat lunch and breakfast but they only give you such a small portion. I get home it's it's the worse part of my dad because their is literally nothing I can eat on. Like there's no chips or even just some cookies. We don't even have lunch meat so I can't make a sandwiches. Sometimes we eat McDonald's twice a week because it's convenient or whenever my parents go to the grocery shopping, they literally only buy dinner. There's never any cereal for me to eat whenever I get up to go to school or at least like a pop tart or something light like that I can have because it's too expensive for my parents. It's so annoying because I'm really hungry and it's not fair that my parents have to struggle like that. Ever since they took my sister to college, it's been hard to have what we need like seriously. I don't even have a new pair of shoes for school, I barely eat twice a day, or I eat whatever we had for lunch as dinner. Why did my parents let my sister go to that college if they new it was going to be expensive? I don't understand how they can do that to themselves. My sister is almost 22 and she always gets $200 dollars here and there. Me and my brother have literally no money because our parents used everything we've had which was my last paycheck and they borrowed even more money from my younger brother. It's not fair to me and my brother that she gets everything even if it's very expensive. The backpack I got for school my dad didn't even buy, my aunt bought it for me but is it wrong for me to be angry with my sister?

Aww sweetie i'm so sorry! I wish I could make you some food! Listen to me! Go to the store and buy some eggs, beans, rice, and some bouillon cubes! You can make so much out of that and it cost less than 10$ Try o get some fruits and vegetables too if you can afford! I suggest apples, sweet pea..

Thank you but I don't have anything left from my paycheck to buy anything. My parents spent the $170 on my last paycheck and they still haven't paid me back but how can I get money other than having a job?

Yea tough situation

Do you have some friends that have moms that care? This is so bad.. You need to talk to your counselor at school so someone can feed you, this is not right...

[Asker]

I'm not sure. None of my friends live near me and I haven't really met any of their parents so I personally wouldn't know. I really am trying to not make it into a big deal because I don't want to make my parents look bad but the situation is actually worse than it is. They took my sister to college at the end of July which was almost 2 months ago and we've still been struggling. The only reason I want to go to school is because I know there's food there that I can at least eat. I don't know if I should tell my friends about the situation because they won't be able to do too much about it but you don't understand that I really really just wanna start begging my friends for money. It's ridiculous like they only bought me 2 shirts for school and is it wrong of me to be mad at my sister?😥😥

No honey, you need to tell your friends parents! I promise you there is going to be a mom willing to look after you and make sure you at least get a decent meal everyday!
Your parents are notplaying fair! I understand they are trying to Better your sibling but they can't starve their other children in the process 😔

It's not right that you're left hungry! Trust me I understand and it's not good for your development !

I know you want me to tell my friend's parents but how? I don't really get to see my friends a lot unless it's at school and now because we don't have that much money, it wouldn't be convenient to go to a movie with a friend. We only have one car. This is the financial things they paid for my sister. $600 for the truck $300-$400 for the trailer to get her car to the college, $500 because my dad accidentally wrecked the bumper part where the ball is,$50×5-6 times for gas,$70+ dollars just so we can have somewhere to sleep. I paid for my family to eat dinner one night=$30 dollars and I also paid $20 dollars worth of gas,$250 from my 14 year old brother. This is too much money coming from me and my brother. And on top of that my sister was complaining the whole time how she didn't want to spend her on freaking money. Her college is in Georgia and we like in Austin. I'm thinking that I should just ignore my sister since all she ever thinks about is her damn self.😒

Ya that sounds a little messy
They're really trying with the older sis huh

Not sure what you can do other than find a part time job. I dunno. Sucks that in this world you have to slave away just to feed yourself

[Asker]

I used to have a part time job but they just stopped calling me. It ended for literally no reason. I asked my parents for another job because quite frankly, this is absolutely ridiculous. I just want my own money so I can feed myself literally but they won't let me until they see my grades first. It's just so idiotic of my parents to spend so much money on their oldest child when they're an adult. My sister can go find a job in Georgia and stop being greedy always asking my parents to pay for everything. Not to mention, they pay for her car note too. Always giving her money and then they give me and my brother nothing.

[TripleAce]

I'm not sure how you can properly handle this situation since you are still very young...
Do you have anyone in the family you can trust?

Maybe someone at school, I mean not eating enough is not not good at all... you shouldn't be hungry little one...

Tell them no, don't give them your money... that's what I would do... I would just fight back and say no you're not getting all of it.. here's 70 bucks and I'm keeping 100 for myself

[Asker]

See that's the thing. They always ask to borrow money from me and my brother and it's messed up because they borrowed like 250 dollars from my brother and he is only 14!! I'm not trying to exaggerate but if they never let my sister go to that damn college we'd be better off but no. My parents had to pay for the truck to get us there oh and by the way, we live in Austin. Her college is in Georgia. The truck was $600, the trailer to transport her car was about -$300-400, the gas money like $50 dollars and not mention, I paid for gas money once on the trip and on top of that, I bought my family dinner and that total was $50 dollars and we've been to like 3 or 4 motels. Now because of this I'm always angry at school. Is it bad that I'm so angry with my sister because of this?

[TripleAce]

It's not bad no... it's understandable because without food nothing is good..
If you guys can help her out but still have money left too feed everyone that is fine but this is going a little too far

But maybe it's over now since she's moved and all? Maybe now it will be ok soon? Maybe it was just a short thing?

[Asker]

She still technically lives with us. She doesn't have her own house other than the college room she lives in. I just don't wanna talk to my sister for a long time. It's just too much going on and u think she's being a little selfish?
