[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would strongly suggest you revisit the food rules of your house. Forbidden foods become sought-after foods. We don’t have food rules here and my ravenous teenager eats a pretty good range of foods, which includes junk food, fruits, vegetables, and lots of other things.

Anyway, my suggestion is that there is no consequence. Maybe he has a stomach ache. Maybe he experiences no effect. The effect of binging a package of Oreos or Girl Scout cookies or…a bag of grapes is minimal, tbh. Focus on teaching life long skills and don’t make foods off limits.

Also, if he’s sneaking video games, revisit those rules, too…

Let me understand. You're suggesting that parents buy Oreos, Cheetos, and other kinds of junk food in order that these foods not become forbidden foods?

And how would you revisit the rules around video games?  Just let him play an unlimited amount?

This sounds like non-parenting to me. [/quote]

Not that poster however hell yes

Nothing wrong with some treats teach moderation not be a controlling pos which is what is happening here

OP controls everything in their lives not just Oreos that’s why he ate the whole bag

Parents who do this create kids who can no5 think fir themselves and a host of other psych problems

Her kid are a whole bag he’s 13 and growing he’s hungry and probably not just for oreaisv[/quote]
