[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 571127, member: 4264"] If this was common, I'd be irked. If it was rare, I'd probably laugh. easy child is the type to do something like eat the marshmallows and skip the cereal, and giggle like a fiend about the silliness of it all. I would however, do as you, and insist the cereal get eaten (as well as tell her it was cute/funny this time but won't be again). I would be annoyed at it being stuffed under a bed though. Although I don't have a no food in the bedroom rule, I do have a no dirty dishes/wrappers/packaging/left over food in the bedroom rule. If I discovered half eaten product under her bed, I'd be enforcing a no bedroom eating/drinking rule for a considerable time. It is a pet peeve of mine. (I also insist she sweep her floor corner to corner in her room every other day, in case of crumbs. She also must mop once a week, but in between as well if anything at all spills) I might as a joke, purchase another box of the same cereal, take all of the marshmallows out for myself and get difficult child to eat the second box as well sans cereal, seeing as she took all the marshmallows from round one. Somehow I bet she won't enjoy two straight boxes worth of the same cereal, minus the yummy treat parts. By which point she likely will not be digging for them next time round. Hope I don't offend that I smiled huge at this post. Wouldn't life be grand if the ONLY concern was the missing marshmallows in the cereal box? ;) [/QUOTE]
