[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a family that has sugary dessert only once a week, the rest of the time we end dinner with fresh fruit. We allow occasional treats but we're not really into a lot of junk food.

Our 13 yr old DS bought a bag of Oreos the other day with his own allowance money on the understanding that he could have a couple as an occasional treat. He bought the Oreos on Friday afternoon. They were completely gone by Saturday night.

He knows that we would not be OK with him doing this. When we found out he said he just couldn't control himself around the Oreos.

[b]What's an appropriate consequence for this behavior? [/b] We've never known him to binge but this is also the first time we've let him buy a full-size snack bag with his own money.

He's had some issues lying around sneaking video game time but he's generally an honest kid. Clearly cannot be trusted around video games and Oreos tho.  :? [/quote]

Nothing.  He spent his allowance on  them and now they are gone.  He might feel disgusting, he might get a few more pimples.[/quote]

This. Let it go. He probably got some gastro issues.[/quote]
