Is my dd a little thief! She's 6 1/2 and she keeps stealing food from the kitchen. I just doon't get it. Nothing is denied, there is fruit out constantly for her to take. Anything else she knows she has to ask for but 9 times out of 10 she knows I'll allow her to have things.
But she keeps taking things, she doesn't even eat them just stashed them around her room.
After just taking washing up to put in her drawer and finding an entire vienetta melted all over her socks I have had enough!!

What do I do about this? Do I just have to get a lock on the kitchen door??

Or get a freezer for her bedroom Sorry I'm being flipant hope someone more sensible comes along soon.

Ds (7) is always taking crisps and biscuits and hides the empty packets underhis bed....at least he did we have had builders in lately and he's been sleeping on a matress in his brothers room - no hidey hole = no crisp raids! Marvellous.

Oh and veinetta far more exciting than fruit of course.
