So, our kid's room is fairly tidy and it has been for a couple of weeks now. A big part of the process was cleaning up, throwing out, and giving away quite a lot of junk. Quite a bit was broken or damaged because of the state of the room as a whole. By reducing what can clutter, things are more managable now.
However, turns out, when my wife was stripping her bed to wash her sheets - lots of junk food hoarded behind the headboard. Not as much as last time, but still quite a bit. It included chewed gum - amongst other things.
This has turned into a situation where she doesn't eat her lunch or supper and we're confused by why she doesn't eat.
So...what have others done about this kind of thing? Do you put locks on the cabinets? How do you stop the stealing? When I tell her she needs to stop, she often says something like, "I can't, it is my life."
