[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The snack pantry is literally locked?

If you don't want him to go through a case of Pringles, then don't buy a case of Pringles.[/quote]

Uh, no thanks. That's not the point. We basically had a spare cabinet in the basement laundry room and put all the chips we buy, cookies, things like that, down there in the locked cabinet. He hasn't even noticed it yet.  But if leaves the upstairs pantry with the healthier stuff, fruit on the counter, yogurt in the fridge etc.[/quote]

OK, I can see storing extras from big Costco packages in the basement but WHY is the cabinet LOCKED? That is so weird. [/quote]

[b]What is wrong with you people?[/b] I don't want him gorging on chips and cookies, but we buy them in bulk so they are cheaper for the whole family. That's why the cabinet is locked.

There's plenty of other food in the pantry upstairs, the fridge, the fruit bowl, etc.

My question was -- is it normal for a teen to put on weight that quickly? He is gaining all that weight in his waist.

I don't know anybody who lives in a family, has a normal relationship with food, and locks up food.

For an answer to your question, ask your pediatrician.[/quote]
