[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 78406"] My difficult child does it. I'm forever pulling empty cereal or pop tart boxes out of the pantry to throw them away. I really think that the thought process doesn't happen with my difficult child. For us, when we empty a container the next logical step is to throw it away. I don't think that happens with difficult child. She just does with it what she always does, which is put it back. easy child doesn't do it and I don't do it so it's not a learned behavior. I constantly remind her to throw something away when I find something empty. I'll ask her why she put it back and I get the same answer you do, "I don't know". I even have to count dishes when loading or unloading the dishwasher. Just the other day I said to difficult child that there is one saucer in the dishwasher and none in the cupboard...any idea where the others are? Yep...in her room. She just doesn't think about it. You know, I started having to do that when I was married to her dad...counting dishes and then go looking for them. I guess she inherited it. [img]:hammer:[/img] [/QUOTE]
