[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is 11 (in 5th grade) and there have been a few occasions over the past year and a half where she has snuck food at her grandparents or my siblings’ houses. While we try to encourage healthy eating my kids are definitely not deprived of anything and eat more treats than they should (ie they have dessert 4-5 days per week).

She just spent two nights at my parents’ house and my mom called me earlier to tell me she found two cupcake wrappers stuffed in a drawer and we are 99.9% sure it was DD who ate them. And that was on top of 2 days of non-stop treats at their house - pancakes for breakfast, going out for ice cream, etc.

Right after Halloween DD was at my brother’s house and they found a ton of candy wrappers in the bathroom trash wrapped in a paper towel, and again we think it was DD since the candy was hidden in the back of their pantry and the other kids are younger and would not have found it.

There have been a few other examples like this. I have confronted DD two of the times and she denied it was her repeatedly, so I don’t think it’s worth bringing up again but I am very concerned about the sneakiness.

Any thoughts on how to handle? How can I address it?[/quote]

It’s you. [/quote]
