Why isn't she buying her own snacks?

She should give you a more detailed list.

okay so as long as she wasn't rude about your buying the wrong things I would let her shop on her own

Then she doesn't get the right to complain.

Does she allow others in the kitchen with her? No snark I am seriously asking.

Just curious - are you the same person who is complaining that DD is not sharing the kitchen?

It's a great life skill to learn. I'd give her a budget and send her on her own

If when she claimed I bought the wrong kind or size she was respectful about it I would be okay with this. Though I would likely just take her shopping with me. If she was rude or disrespectful about it I would not, because I wouldn't reward that type of behavior.

It's fine if you think she's spending the money responsibly. How old is she?
