[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 372270, member: 1991"] I know you don't want to penalise others in the family for difficult child's lack of impulse control, but the conditions are laid down - if you have your own stash, keep it secure. The punishment (actually, natural consequences) for failing to keep their stash secure is - no stash allowed! It won't do the others any harm to go without gluten. Of course difficult child has to learn self-control, but there are many adults around who do not have self-control, so we can't be too critical. Besides, kids like to test the boundaries and especially difficult child kids who resent restrictions that are necessary due to their health. I remember difficult child 1 testing our "no caffeine" rule, and causing all sorts of problems. The trouble is, when the difficult child is ramped up on forbidden toxins, they are far less capable of self-control. We need to step in and take over, control their environment for them. I used to find that when the difficult child was back to normal diet, we could talk reason with him. But it was a waste of time while he was hopped up on caffeine. We just had to sit out the raging and clean up any secret stash of ANYBODY. easy child & husband are just going to have to have some self-discipline of their own. Marg [/QUOTE]
