Is it normal for parents to hide food from their grown kids?

Dude, go out and buy them yourself.

Let me guess. Somebody stole your sweetie. I am eating a whole package of chocholate snacks right now. They are just so delicious. I am planning on eating all of the ice creams I am going to find in the fridge and eventually I will finish myself with some pudding and maybe I'll have a whole applepie too. I am gorging myself to blotation. Eating just feels sooo good. Then I am going to eat some kfc with french fries and a whole jar of mayo and ketchup. I think I will drink some cranberry juice with it. My parents are gonna do the same. We got enough food here for all of us you cheapasses lowlife food grabbing fatsos. I AM SOO STUFFED!

I'm in college, and I hide my favorite foods from my family all the time when I come home. The other day, my brother was getting into my string cheese, and I was PISSED...ha ha.

I also have an ice cream stash in the freezer; I tend to eat my treats pretty slowly and they just wouldn't last long enough if they were free game for my lanky 15 year old brother, chocoholic mom, supergrazer dad and sister.

i find it very annoying...my mom use to pressure me alot when i was like 8 and up. she would force me to exercise call me fat etc...she would buy taco bell for the whole family except me..i said wheres mine and she told me i didnt need it...its why i had bulimia for 5 years. so yeah it annoys me.

I don't think it's that your fat or can't control yourself, she just wants you to keep your mitts off her food lol

She is tired of you eating all of her food. MOVE OUT!!!

As an adult you should realize.... it's not about you all the time.

She may be "hiding" the treats out of habit.
Or simply because SHE doesn't want to see them every time she opens the cupboard.

But anyway it's THEIR FOOD. As an adult you need to put your ego aside stop worrying about what they do with their own food.

Well... I don’t think it’s right...
So I helped out my boyfriends b-i-t-c-h ass mom no offense with $300 in food stamps that was for me &’ my son since I’m pregnant with my first ... point being is she killed my food stamps in just 11 maybe 15 days at most &’ bitched to my boyfriend why is eating again that he just ate &’ what not &’ than when I asked for my card not only did she waste my $300 in food stamps she pulled out money $375 which I’m disappointed &’ now she’s mad that I got my card back &’ I haven’t let her use it since &’ now she finally buys food &’ got mad cause I grabbed a bit of her meat to make something for my boyfriend for lunch &’ she makes all the meat later that day &’ takes it with her in a container so me &’ my boyfriend won’t eat like what a b-i-t-c-h I didn’t bitch at her when she used up all my money in my card I had no obligation to feed her or her family I did it out of kindness to help her out &’ she pays me back like this finishing up my food &’ bitches if my boyfriend grabs food to hiding food that her husband money buys ? Like it’s fucked up ... people who hide food doesn’t matter who it is whether it’s a fucked up mother in law , sibling, parents , friends or etc are just selfish &’ I really hope it bites them in the ass for them to realize what they do i was raised as a giver not a receiver but people like that really pisses others

My dad hid these snacks he bought for me today. I got really mad. He thinks I'm going to eat the whole bag, which I did use to do, but that was because I was a pig. I've lost a ton of weight and I'm almost underweight, I excerise so much every week, I don't understand why my dad doesn't trust me enough to let me be able to take snacks when I want to.

Hahaha! I googled this topic because I wanted to confirm my assumptions about certain people... It looks like I am right... Nothing more frustrating than to walk into the kitchen and watch your sibling race to get that stack of pancakes before you even grab one... Nothing more disappointingly amusing than to find that out of the 8 danish left over night, 0 are left by the next morning... You know, the more people hide their food from me, the more I will check every corner of the fridge, the cupboards, the garage, under the bed, backyard, to find anything stashed and eat it... Hiding things may be disrespectful to some, to me it becomes an Easter egg hunt.. I'm gonna find your food, your soda, your snacks, your cigarettes, your stash of weed; even your lighter, and I am gonna eat it or smoke it...

I hide food from my adult family and adult friends and am an adult. Because they eat whatever they see I have or get all pissed off if I eat something and they don't get offered some. I'm not rich and it's not my responsibility to feed them or always offer to share, but they seem to think it is, so I hide all the time. I often eat in the bathroom. It's sick, but it's the only way I get to eat a damn thing.

My parents do this to me all the time and it aggravates me to no end seeing how they don't trust me alone with junk food. I get yelled at for hiding things from them as well and when i try to fight back by arguing they do the same thing, I only get yelled at more for being a smart-ass who doesn't know the meaning of respect, even though I'm 18

A bite always leads to another :)

If you buy your own food, then you can hide it on your parents.

Haha!

my parents tend to do that too!
although it doesn't work so well considering they suck at hiding things when I visit.

but yeah ^^ usually my mom has a sweetooth so when I visit she hides her sweets in the fridge somewhere. did it when I was a kid and still does it!!

anyway back to subject..
Its not usually about your health but more about their little treats being eaten by them before you can get to them.

enjoy playing hide & seek in the pantry!!

This may come as a real shock to you - but it's not all about her caring about you!

I hide my chocolate - not coz I worry about my son getting fat, just in case he gets to it before me.

How often do you restock the pantry with the 'treats' you eat? So that your parents may have some tasty titbit now and then - maybe it's degrading that you're such a taker...

Never!!

For moms you'll always be their little baby no matter how old you are. In my opinion this is what's happening in this case. She still sees you as her little one, so she treats you as such. It's normal.
