[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But I think what a lot of people are missing (I'm the pp with BED) is that this 8 year old woke up in the middle of the night to eat 10-12 of the cookies. The timing is more concerning then just the eating. That is more of a compulsion I would think. Or is my gauge off? My kids have never eaten in the middle of the night past infancy but it may be in the realm of normal behavior and I just don't know. I'd say speaking with a therapist and nutritionist is a good start though. Also, make sure she's getting enough liquid. Thirst can be mistaken for hunger.[/quote]

And it strikes you as normal behavior that a child who has access to a large variety of foods, including sweets, was so obsessed with sneaking these 10 cookies that she woke up in the middle of the night to do so? Really?

Please talk to a professional OP. So many of these responses are completely tone deaf. [/quote]

No it absolutely doesn't. I agree it's messed up but I think op is in denial about her role in creating this. [/quote]
