DS2 is just 4 and since he was 3 he has come down in the morning and helped himself to food. Always chocolate. He isn't doing it because he is hungry, he just wants the chocolate and knows it is wrong as we have told him not to do it.
Last week he had some of my chocolate and said he was just checking it was okay.
This morning I came down to get a box of Roses I had left out to take into school today for a Mum who had helped me yesterday. They had been put in the cupboard and I assumed by DH. I got them out and DS2 had opened them and helped himself to three, and then put them back in the cupboard (hiding the evidence,)
DH wants to put a lock on the door so he can't come out. I am 100% against this and will look for something to keep the cupboard door from being opened by DS2.
Any ideas to get him to stop? I am giving him a sticker for staying in his room after he has been put to bed at night and wondering about extending that to staying upstairs until DH or I are up.
He once ate some cooking chocolate and I worry one day he will eat something he really shouldn't have and make himself ill.
I have to go to school now but thank you in advance for any advice.
Just one last thing, what do you do if you disagree with something your DH wants to do/use as discipline? Who gets the final say?
BTW I will win this one. There is no way he is locking him in.
