Am I overreacting? Should I say something?

[KittygosMeoWW]

Long story short a friend came over late last night, she had a couple beers with me and she stayed over. She had work early and I’m off the whole week. My baby and I went to bed last night and I think my friend got hungry and went through my fridge. I’m really upset though because she left all my babies meal prepped food out on the floor and containers are broken.

Fridge might have been left open too because my milk smelled bad. I’m so frustrated we’ve been friends for years but she doesn’t have kids and doesn’t know I planned that food out because we have activities to do since I have the week off. I don’t mind her eating them but just knowing that she didn’t care that the food spoiled is pissing me off.

''... she left all my babies meal prepped food out on the floor and containers are broken.''

It's quite simple. A true friend would never do what you just described above period. This makes me wonder if over the years you've ignored any other redflags.

You may have to set a new boundary with her. Probably best to not let her over when she's drunk/planning on drinking, especially now that you have a baby and she just left all of the baby's food out to spoil.

You're definitely not overreacting. I'd be really pissed, too.

[AviatorTom]

Of course you should say something. Your baby's food is at risk, and that is bad. You should tell her exactly what you found and ask her to be more careful.

You're not overreacting at all, in my opinion that is downright disrespectful. You've but effort and time and you're emotions don't betray you. I would call her out on it and let her know that you love her but because you love er you will always be honest with her, let her know you're fine with her having food but she needs to be respectful and mindful that you also have a child. She will learn her lesson and if she loves you will understand and apologise.

No it's not overreacting in my opinion.
There are supposed to be boundaries and if they're crossed, it needs to be reminded to the person.
You should be clear about this with her and ask her to not do something like that again.

Well it surely was rude of her to go through your fridge smh

[KittygosMeoWW]

No I’m not bothered by that she’s welcome to use my stuff but I’m just frustrated and getting ready to go out for a full restock of groceries.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yea and that's crazy cause eating a whole grocery list is crazy lol

[NathanDavis]

I think that... if we leave a drunk on the loose...

then it is on us... what they do while drunk on the loose... lol

[BoopBoopBeep]

Does she normally forage in dumpsters? She's too old to not handle her drink any better and too old to not be able to use a fridge. Get classier friends who can act their age or make sure their mommy is around to clean up for them.

Just explain what she did messed up your schedule and you had to replace all that food and the way prices are today is a lot of money

[Surely]

Nope! Not over reacting in my book.📕 She should have more respect for your hospitality!

[Sparkie460]

You're not overreacting. You should definitely say something.

[Nice222]

I would definitely say something. That is messed up.

[MikeTheBartender]

She sounds like an idiot, I would politely let her know so she doesn't make the mistake again

[KittygosMeoWW]

She’s not an idiot, she was drunk. It’s just hard to relate because I’ve never been like that and we’re in different stages of life. I love her but I’m also a mom. All my groceries are super healthy and expensive on top of that it’s time I save myself because the meal preps help so I can get other things done. Also it’s raining like crazy and some streets are flooded, knowing I have to take my baby out in it and my baby can’t wear shoes rn because she got a biopsy on her foot just made me feel defeated.

[MikeTheBartender]

Awww sorry :(
