[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 461352, member: 6705"] Um... Are you living with O?! Yeah, the whole helping themselves to other people's stuff bit gets old. Especially when they don't bother. The "rule" in our house is - when you get close to running out, or open the last ______, you put it on the list. Simple. J will just not use shampoo, toothpaste, whatever. (Eww, ugh, yech.) O will help herself to whatever she can get her hot little hands on. When we moved downstairs, and took all our stuff into that bathroom, O started asking for things - after she'd run out. "Do you have any tampons?" (This when I was pregnant last spring.) "Uh, no, and no need for them, why?" "I ran out yesterday morning." "I have a few pads..." "EWW! NO THOSE ARE GROSS!!!" (So what's she using? Turns out nothing. Uh, [I]pads [/I]are gross?) And, the kids went 4 days (that I counted) with no toilet paper (speaking of EWWW, GROSS). Not on the list. I waited for them to ask, write it on the list, whatever. Nothing. Not even any Kleenex. If we hadn't had company coming on day 5, I'd have seen how long it lasted. (We had a case of the stuff in the garage - they had to almost trip on it to get out the door.) So I'm very familiar with this... I started buying Suave everything, so the expensive stuff didn't get swiped. Then (tee hee) I started refilling my Suave containers with the good stuff... [/QUOTE]
