I've just had tea and biscuits in the bathroom

[CryingOverSpiltMilk]

To get a couple of minutes peace from 15 month old DD's nosing and demanding my food. Have I hit a new low?

Please tell me you've done worse.

I wait until the DC are at school, then have breakfast in the Sainsbury's café.

I eat chocolate with my head in the fridge, while I “get the milk” out for DS’ supper.

When my DC were young I enjoyed many a chocolate snack with my head in various kitchen cupboards (and I mean right in!!)

I ate a bag of crisps in the hall cupboard last week....

Mine are almost 12 and almost 9yo & I still snaffle treats with my head in cupboards or the fridge . I find the best one to be the pantry...the whole of me fits right up to the edge of the shelves so it properly looks like I'm hunting for something (which is often right under my nose ).

I have also been known to go to Lidl after dropping them off, before work, and not actually get to Lidl because I stop off at McDonald's over the road for breakfast.

I ate cereal on the stairs last week

Oh I do this all the time. Mostly Ruth custard creams.

I hide treats above child eye-level: top of microwave, utility room worktop - and strategically have jobs nearby

I used to drop DS3 off at Ikea free soft play and head to the cafe for the full 45 minutes and have a drink and cake. Bliss.

I have a drawer full of snacks in my bedroom and as soon as dh gets home I have 20 mins to stuff my face before bedtime crazy starts.

Are you Mrs Large?

(5 minutes peace, the kids books, Mrs Large takes a tea tray to the bath)

Her quest for peace was ultimately unsuccessful. I love those books.

I hid in the utility room to eat two bags of Wotsits and a handful of Haribo last week.

God it feels good to admit that.

I often have a day off in the week.
I regularly get myself a maccies breakfast after the school run and hide the evidence

Ate a mars bar while sitting on the toilet today. I've a 15 mo too. I feel your pain.

@AfterSchoolWorry I used to LOVE that book as a kid.

Now, as an adult / parent, I think it's even more awesome.

@AfterSchoolWorry I remember seeing this recently and chuckling to myself. It was a favourite as a child but brings a whole new meaning now.

I keep giant chocolate buttons under the tea towels in the drawer. I have no DC at home. I am hiding them from my DH and in that drawer they are easy for me to sneak out two at a time when cooking it other kitchen chores.

I lock myself into the pantry 🤷🏼‍♀️
I learnt that from living in Oz. When we came back to the UK and built an extension, we added a pantry.

It's not just me then! I hide the evidence too.

There’s a box of maltesers my freezer veg drawer, hidden under the bags of chopped sofrito and petit pois. I feel no shame! :o

@afterschoolworry I saw a mum on Instagram recently who had called for one of those books to be removed from schools as they were fat shaming. No joke.

I am loving this! I'm not alone! I've currently finished all my stashes and need to restock!

I can't get respite in the bathroom without someone coming in so I "look for something at back of cupboard" whilst shovelling biscuits in my face

I've started writing notes here Looking in the back of the cupboard is a good one. It would work with DH too as he can't see past his own nose!
