26-year-old woman puts vegetables in all her meals to stop her roommate’s 6-year-old kid from eating all her food behind her back: ‘The mom is UPSET!’

Adulting involves a ton of unexpected curveballs, but having to deal with your roommate's kid stealing your food should not be one of those issues. 

This 26-year-old had only been living with her roommate, a 30-year-old single mother, and her roommate's 6-year-old son for less than a year. The young twenty-something previously had been living with someone else, who seemed to be a closer friend, until that person had to leave. In other words, it sounds like her new roommate was a last-minute replacement and not someone she knew very well beforehand.

At first, there were no major issues. In fact, their work schedules were the complete opposite of one another, so there was not much opportunity for conflict. That all changed when the 26-year-old began to notice that her food was going missing. We're not just talking about the occasional ingredient; we're talking about entire Tupperware containers full of leftovers. 

After monitoring the situation for some time, the author figured out that the leftovers that would go missing would often be the meals she prepared that did not include any vegetables. This became the clue she needed to confirm that her roommate was feeding the author's leftovers to her 6-year-old son, who abhorred vegetables.

So this year, the author decided to combat this problem by eating healthier… and forcing her roommate to find a more appropriate solution for feeding her own kid.
