[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 410675, member: 9175"] I'd never heard that, Nomad, but it sure fits where difficult child is concerned. The secret eating is what bothers me the most. When she was living here, I'd send her to the store with a list and my atm card. I'd say "if there's something you want that's not on the list, go ahed and get it." She'd return, put the stuff away and run up to her room. A week or so later, I might run across a half empty tub of cookie dough strategically placed in the wastebasket (not thrown away...hidden) with a shirt draped over it. Was she stille eatingit after a week? Who knows? Even though she was told to get what she wanted, there would inevitibly be a can of frosting or something hidden after one of these trips. When she was a junior in HS, she would go around after her soccer games and collect everyone's unwanted snacks. We'd get home,she'd declare that she was too tired to eat and go to her room and chow down on six pop tarts and a bag of cheetos! I didn't find out about this until about a month, when I opened a drawer to put away some clothes and found it crammed with empty wrappers of all sorts of odd things. She had on piece fromt he 13x9 pan of lasgane in front of me. The rest of the pan was eaten (in less than two days!) when nobody was watching. Mostly this is dad's problem now, but it sure was hard to count on something being in the fridge or freezer when you needed it. I did have a pretty good trick that she never caught on to ... I'd make a batch of cookies and, partly to keep her from eating the entire batch singlehandedly and partly just to have a small stash if she had friends orver later or someone dropped in, I'd wrap up a handful in aluminum foil, lable it "Asparagus" and put iti n the freezer!
