You could give her the money for the stuff you used.

First replenish her supplies. Second, communicate! Find out why she dosen't like your boyfriend and really think about it. My sister went through this alot and I can tell you. You may think she's unreasonable, insensitive, dumb, etc. But in the end moms are usually right. Its a gifting God gave them.

It seems you have a communication problem. In any case why you don´t replace the ingredients which were used ?

Why dont you just replace the ingredients, tell your mother that you are going to do this. Afterwards explain to her that as an 18 year old that she is allowing to live at home she has to live with some of your choices. Living at home past 18 is a game of give and take, I think asking to give up your boyfriend is too much but maybe there is a root to this problem someplace else. That is a question for you to answer.

Wow, mom needs to take a chill pill doesn't she? that's a little over the top don't you think? I do!

Tell her you also put poison in the cake to kill your boyfriend. She'd be pleased with that and won't care anymore!

Geez, what did you use..a stick of butter and a cup of sugar? You mom is overreacting. Replace the items and forget about it.

give her $10 for the ingredients and home energy used. i hope she realizes that by hating your bf is only pushing you more to be with him. if he is bad news (and i'm not saying he is) you need to learn this on your own.

Whereas I think your mom should relax a little bit, go get her some more flour, butter, etc. She has valid feelings even if she is not expressing them properly. Talk this out with her. Ask her why she hates the guy. She might have a perfectly valid reason and knows better. I am betting she does.

She's not angry about the ingredients, she's angry about your boyfriend. Even if you go out and replace the ingredients, she will still be angry. Your mother is using the ingredients to hide behind so that she can really be angry at you about your boyfriend. You need to talk with your mother about that problem.

That just sucks. Your mother is being stubborn, but your mother has the right to, especially in her house. It is unfortunate your mother has those thoughts and would do that to you. You really need to speak to your mother about this situation and let her know that it is your decision and you would really like her support; also make sure she knows that the more she does this and does not approve of this relationship, will just encourage you to hide future relationships, problems and so on from her, which wouldn't be good. She is your mother and you love her. The least you could do now, is offer to pay her back for the ingrediants, but also ask her if you could speak to her about this in a serious way. To your mother, she feels as if you disrespected her by doing that and chose your boyfriend over her rules and principles and did so with using HER stuff. Saying she is mad that you used her ingredients is just a cover for her bigger disaproval of the relationship. Also, if this is not a serious relationship and you think this guy won't be around much longer, don't allow him to ruin your relationship with your mother. Let him go before your mother. Your mother has done more than enough good for you in life to let 'a guy' step in and interfere. Good luck on this.

I'd tell her to mind her own business!

No offense to your mother, but she's kind of being a bitch. Maybe you should let her know that.

I would replace the ingredients, apologize for being presumptuous, and start figuring out a way to move into my own place, where I wouldn't have to worry about it. Bottom line, no matter how unreasonable her attitude may be, it is her home, and her kitchen, her groceries and she has every right to decide what happens there.

Tell her she's going senile , you SPONGED the ingredients off your neighbour . Tell her to stop being such a TART !!

Just go buy some ingredients to replace those you used. Then if she is still on your case she'll have to admit the real reason; good chance to bring up that you are an adult. Oh, and moving out helps too, A LOT!!! ;)

You don't mentiion why your mom doesn't like your boyfriend so I am NOT going to say, Geeez, your mom has a problem! If you live at home, you will have to go by her rules. If she is as mean and hard to live with as you make her sound then maybe you could consider moving.

Of course I don't know the whole story, so even though my first reaction was ..That's a bit over the top..your mom may have perfectly good reasons for feeling this way. I know it is hard when your mom does not like who you are seeing...just as it's hard when your daughter is seeing someone you don't like. (been THERE, for sure). You are 18 and still at home..her home, it is more up to you to try and keep the friction to a minimum.

She does have a point. Maybe you could pay her back for the ingredients you did use...?

You should all wat the cake together that way everybody enjoys the cake.
