Hello Reddit, my friends suggested that I turn to Reddit for advice. I (17F) have gotten into a fight with my family over cheesecake. So basically for context there’s this really well known cheesecake shop in my town, however they sell really expensive cakes. Like, SIXTY dollars for a whole 8″ burnt basque cheesecake. Not even including the delivery fee. And everyone in my family knows that I love cheesecake, my friends know that I love cheesecake. So when there was a discount that lowered the price down to 40 dollars my family obviously jumped onto the chance to buy it. I was especially excited over it. Take note the cake arrived on Saturday (29th of March), I waited for a whole week for this. On Sunday, I ate a slice and put it back in the fridge, by then, there was a little less than half of the cake left. But it should be enough to last at least one more day.
So, today on Monday I opened the fridge, and the cake was gone. I was confused, and asked around my family if they ate the cheesecake. Neither of my parents did, so it left my brother (15). I asked him if he did and of course he did. I was somewhat bothered by it, but I left it be. Later on, during dinner, I started thinking, how the hell did he manage to eat the whole damn cheesecake? So I asked him, how did he eat the whole cheesecake, and then he dropped the bombshell on me. He ate only a singular slice, and without asking anyone, he dumped the rest of the sixty dollar 8 inch burnt basque cheesecake into a blender to make a milkshake.
So, a burnt basque cheesecake is basically just a cream cheese cake without the bottom layer a regular new york cheesecake has. So he could’ve just put like a few scoops of cream cheese into his stupid blender to make his stupid cheesecake milkshake. I was obviously livid and was like why the hell would you put a damn cheesecake into a blender. A really expensive one at that. And he didn’t understand what was the big deal. I was sulking and glaring at him the whole dinner, my parents reprimanded him. However I was still in a bad mood over the cheesecake, later on, he entered my room to tell me that I “knew that he wanted to make a cheesecake milkshake” and I told him that I didn’t want to talk to him. He got really mad and hit me on the shoulder and slammed the door.
Eventually my mom found out and told us that the cake will be divided and assigned 1 quarter each for each family member in the future. I feel a little bad now that it has blown out to proportion. Have I been overreacting this whole time? Because, again, it’s just a cheesecake. My friends think I’m crazy over it because I can’t stop ranting to them about it. But I’m really attached to this cheesecake.

INFO: was the cheesecake bought specifically for you and you alone?
“On Sunday, I ate a slice and put it back in the fridge, by then, there was a little less than half of the cake left”
More info needed:
Did you just have a slice of the whole cake? Did the rest of the family have a slice?
NTA It doesn’t really matter what he did with his slices, but it was very rude for him to eat everyone else’s share. Dividing the whole thing into 4 would mean each of you would get like two small slices of an 8” cake.
That said, I think your parents have more cause to be angry, since they’re the ones who paid for it. You at least got to eat some.
ESH. You did not buy the cheesecake, your family bought it for the family. Everybody got some. You wanted more, your brother got their first. You can disagree with how he ate it, but it doesn’t help your case. I think putting katsup on a steak is a waste of steak, but that doesn’t make me more deserving of steak than someone else in the house that likes it that way. You want a cheesecake all to yourself? Buy one.
