[QUOTE="comatheart, post: 372105"] We have seriously considered putting a true lock on the pantry door. That was the first thing difficult child began to steal. We would find enough wrappers and packaging in his room to fill a garbage bag. All things we recognized from our pantry and didn't even realize that he had taken. We just thought they were GONE. For now we keep the things we KNOW difficult child is going to take in our room. I never thought this was teaching him to be a hoarder. Hmmmm.... I'll have to really think about that aspect of it. We have a family of 6 and if we let the kids have free range of the food we'd never have any. It's a necessary evil. If our pocketbooks were deeper than perhaps it wouldn't be such an issue- but unfortunately they aren't. With that said, we do allow them to have fruits and veggies any time. Of course, they never want that stuff because it's readily available and the crackers and cookies aren't. [/QUOTE]
