[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 266322, member: 6705"] I too have an issue with Ramen, but not as severe... My issue is finding the noodles everywhere (like in the sofa, on the floor, etc.), the flavor packet empty and on the floor, the bowl tipped over on the carpet... And my good pans burnt because difficult child 1 likes to turn them on high and leave the room. Both difficult children eat the noodles uncooked as well (ewww!). However sugar is the biggest problem in our home. difficult child 1 used to steal the sugar dispenser and take it to her room. Found a brand-new 2-lb. bag of powdered sugar in between her mattress and the wall once. difficult child 2 will take the scoop from the canister and add THAT to apple juice (about 3/4 cup sugar) - the worst was when he had Sierra Mist and added sugar. (It went [I]everywhere[/I]... LOL). If I have decorating icing tubes and I ask that they be left alone, difficult child 1 will eat them and then either hide the tubes or put them back where they were, empty. Got caught with black and orange streaks on her face one evening unexpectedly... And then didn't have anything with which to decorate her gingerbread house. The best way to deal with this, I have found, is not to buy it at all. They must buy junk food with their allowance. If I want something for me, I bring it to work or lock it in my car. I have a huge basket which I keep filled with apples and oranges on the dining room table, which is the middle of the house and must be passed to get anywhere. difficult child 1 likes both, however difficult child 2 hates oranges. But the rest of us are snacking healthier! [/QUOTE]
