[quote=Anonymous]I normally try to be helpful and not rude on here, but I have to say, I find this post ridiculous.

To OP, if you are annoyed that she didn't read your handbook (or didn't understand) or are annoyed at the way she reacted to not getting what she wants and you want to rematch over those things, you are certainly within your right to do so.  And you are certainly within your rights to forbid Oreos in your house if you want to do so.

However, if you want to move past this with your AP and want her to stay, then just buy the damn Oreos and tell the kids that they are the AP's and off limits.  Or, if she needs to buy them herself to keep your kids away (which seems to be what you indicated in your post), then just give her some cash to do so.  You say that you don't give extra money because you buy everything else, but to not give a few extra dollar per week here (where you seem to be ok with her buying these things herself) does make you sound cheap.

To the 11:02 poster, you let your 3 year old get things out of the pantry her/himself?  (Maybe try putting things you don't want them to know about on a high shelf) And to the continual whining question, I think you need to teach your children to respect what is not theirs.[/quote]
