[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I’m 25, my boyfriend is 27, and his 19 year old sister, who attends college in state often likes coming to mine or my boyfriend’s house on weekends.

We do have fun and generally get along but She very often borrows items of mine (mostly doesn’t bring them back) & takes things without permission. After a visit to my house, I noticed my coat missing; no one else had taken it (we wear the same size) and I later found out she took it. This isn’t isolated — she regularly takes my belongings without asking and doesn’t return them unless prompted, and there are multiple items she still hasn’t given back. If I leave anything she likes at my boyfriend’s house, she takes and uses it without permission. She’s taken my perfume (eventually returned, mostly used), some very nice shampoo/conditioner, and once took a bag without permission. She’s also taken an entire case of *alcoholic drinks without asking. When I’ve asked about these things, she lies. We’re currently on vacation with my boyfriend’s family since New Year’s Eve and this same behavior is happening on this trip.

I talked to my boyfriend about this, and he said this might just be a misunderstanding and to not make it a bigger issue because it’s not a very big deal. Im less upset about the items, than the pattern of taking things & lying. I’m don’t know how to handle this appropriately, whether this should be addressed with her, whether my boyfriend should be the one to handle it, or if his minimizing of this is the bigger concern and what I should do about it.[/quote]

This is a thing for GenZ. They just see stuff as communal. [/quote]
