[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 294661, member: 6546"] Marg-- I appreciate your thoughtful suggestions....but I think it is hoarding more for the sake of hoarding than for hunger. One of the items that came home was computer memory cards--she doesn't even own anything that takes the kind of card she brought home! She also brought home decorative hair clips--even though she already has all kinds of hair accessories and never does anything with her hair but pull it into a ponytail. The insect problem around here is cockroaches. UUUGGHHH! So yes, we are very strict about food in the bedrooms (but evidently not strict enough?) and we have a NO GUM policy. The no gum probably sounds pretty harsh, but I was very clear with both children--I told them as soon as I find gum anywhere it does not belong--there will be NO GUM allowed in this house. difficult child began discarding her used gum by just sticking it wherever she happened to be--under the kitchen table, on the side of the mouldings....and then one day I found the DOG chewing her used gum!!! That was it--no more gum in this house. So naturally, difficult child has been bringing it home by the handful. I am not sure what the solution is to this problem....but hopefully, it is something she will get under control before it gets her in trouble with the law. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
