[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 355108, member: 3907"] Until difficult child moved to the Residential Treatment Center (RTC), we kept a: 1) Small fridge in our bedroom, for essentials that needed to be close at hand. Our bedroom door had a deadbolt AND a key-locked handle, and I had the keys on a lanyard around my neck. 2) Full size fridge in the garage. Padlocked with a heavy duty chain lock and a keyed padlock. The key was on my lanyard, and I carried an extra chain-and-lock in the little tote bag I used to lug everywhere (along with the TV remotes, things I needed to have out that weren't safe lying around, etc.) The garage is locked and deadbolted. Accessible by punch pad or key. Only husband and I know the code, and the key was always on my lanyard. 3) Freezer in the basement. Same drill as the full-sized fridge. 4) Mag locks on certain kitchen pantry doors (the very same ones I used for Little easy child as a baby). Mag key was in my tote bag. The main fridge in the kitchen had only those things for which difficult child was allowed unlimited quantities. It was a brutal way to live, but it did bring our grocery budget into line, and stopped a lot of the needless waste. [/QUOTE]
