Um...does anyone else....um....well...

...hide the really good junk food for themselves and not divulge it's existence to the children?

DH and I have a cabinet in our kitchen that is full of cookies, yodels, ding dongs, easy cheese, chips, chocolate...etc

We hide these items and will take out an occasional package of yodels for the kids and put it in their cabinet...

The kids cabinet is suppose to be the snack cabinet. (It contains Nutrigrain Bars, Fruitsnacks, Mini muffins, a plethora of cereal, etc) The children are unaware of what is behind door #2. They do have access to door #2 but they have never thought to open it and see what's inside.

DH and I find it somewhat amusing that they have never had the desire to open up the corner cabinet and see what's inside. I guess it's only a matter of time...at which point Im sure DH and I will have to find another hiding spot...Chat Icon

I am sorry but this just cracked me up. My dh and I both got home early and had lunch together and got a black white cookie. I told my dh we should save it for te kids and he was like, no they can eat a nutrigrain bar. LOL But mostly we try not to keep that much junk in the house cause I have no self control.

We have a top shelf which is our 'junk shelf'...SD has no idea about what is up there and DH is the only one who can even reach it (he's 6'5)

My parents did this to us, but we knew it was in their closet upstairs. We had to ask for goodies.

My mom didn't want us eating them all in one day, so she would keep them for herself and slowly bring down anything she wanted to share.Chat Icon

Haha! No we don't but we really don't have many junk food or treats in the house because DH and I most definitely don't need to eat them.

Oh yeah...the good stuff here is hidden at the back of the top shelf of the pantry...located in the basement in a room they never go in...with a light switch that's too high for them to reach. Chat Icon

Re: Um...does anyone else....um....well...

I'm trying not to buy so much junk for their sake and mine.

DH and I don't have a separate cabinet for "our" junk, but I do dip into theirs. I must look ridiculous eating Fruit By the Foot and Gushers...Chat Icon

Re: Um...does anyone else....um....well...

I actually try to USE my kids to establish better eating habits for myself (time they made themselves useful, I sayChat Icon): whatever food I bring into the house is only something I would be comfortable to give them. Well, except for my little indulgence called Riesling. Chat Icon

I do slip sometimes, like during PMS when I have the need for a few slices of salami...Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Um...does anyone else....um....well...

I'm the opposite, I buy all the snacks for the kids that I don't like so I don't eat them. Sounds smart right- NO it's not because I make a 7-11 run everyday for a candy bar or krispy kream donut Chat Icon I have such a horrible sweet tooth.

No but I hide it from DH. Right now, he's probably tearing the house apart looking for the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies I made.Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
