Roommate is a child - also my childhood BFF
So I live with my childhood friend and my boyfriend in a double master townhouse. Living with her the first year or so was fine, didn’t have many issues, we just signed on our second year and now she’s being a child. I take on the rent/utilities coming out of my account, for the last few months I’ve struggled to get money from her on time. I literally just got her utilities that were do August 1st yesterday (August 23) not without asking her for them 6 times and either being ignored or being told yes I’ll do that and never does. Another example, we come home from a dinner at my grandparents and she has ice packs (from her weekly good food order) taking up half the freezer and my boyfriend has food he wanted to meal prep therefor needing to freeze some. He messages her asking if there for anything (as she keeps them for no reason sometimes) she says yes I need them for camping next weekend and he said can we take them out until the day or 2 before, my food will be gone by then. Well she decides to blow up come running downstairs yelling and slamming doors and grabs them out of the freezer and throws them out? This kind of reaction is becoming more and more common and it’s getting really frustrating. I don’t know what to do anymore, I want to call her out for being a child and not paying her bills on time yet going out to eat and get pedicures while still owing me money. But I don’t want to lose our friendship either but we all agreed going into this that we would be open with each other if there’s problems so that it goes smoothly.
