Those are MY truffles, BUTTFACE!
Facts: I just started my period. What do we all NEED during this time? Chocolate. For Mother's Day DH's grandmother made me a box of truffles. Let me tell you right now, I would kill over these truffles. They are AMAZING and she only makes them about twice a year. The moment I started my period and simultaneously was handed a box of her truffles was like blissful harmony, white doves came down and butterflies were released, the clouds parted and glitter fell from the sky. NO JOKE.
Next, we are due for a new refrigerator. The seal on the freezer must be broken or something because every time you shut the fridge door the freezer pops open. You have to make sure you shut the freezer too. I have posted a HUGE reminder on the fridge. In the last two weeks I have came home on lunch to find the freezer open and half defrosted. I finally told the kids that since they could not remember to shut the freezer door that they were not to go into the fridge without help from an adult. Monday night, when I started to cook dinner I opened the fridge and noticed my box of truffles was looking a little empty.. hmmm.. I wasn't positive. I didn't say anything I just stuffed them on the bottom shelf behind some leftovers and tried to hide them. Yesterday, I come home from lunch and the freezer door is open, everything is defrosted and there is water dripping everywhere. So instantly I'm pissed. When I open the fridge I notice MY box of truffles are out and now half gone. I swear to the god of skinny punks I could have stabbed somebody in their eye! At this point I pretty much already know what happened. SD8 is about 115lbs. I am almost 30 and far from skinny, yet this 8 year old wears bigger clothes than I do. We have virtually eliminated any sort of snack food in our house because SD8 was always caught taking them without asking and/or stashing them in her room. We have kept her to a pretty tight diet but she kept gaining weight, that's pretty much when we found the massive piles of candy, cookies, and junk that she has hidden all over her room. We really haven't had an issue with her stealing food in a month or so now, mainly because I quit buying junk.
#1 I'm pissed because she is stealing food.
#2 I'm pissed because those were my damn truffles and a Mother's Day gift.
I really am unsure how to deal with this anymore. I don't know how to deal with importance of her weight and health. Not to mention that technically its stealing and lying.
Mainly I just needed to vent how f*cking pissed I was over my damn truffles.

what a damn brat! my bff did
what a damn brat! my bff did daycare for years and there was a kid in her group who was HORRIBLE. he got into the closet by the dining room one day, found her $50 box of Godiva chocolates that had not been opened and ate every last one of them. she was HOT. that little asshole got sick. she laughed to me about it, and said he deserved to get sick for eating the whole damn box. he was old enough to know better. and yeah, i thought it was funny, too. perhaps you should make some exlax brownies and put them in the fridge, out of the way. make it known that they are yours. and when she disrespects that fact and eats them anyway, SUCKS TO BE HER. SHE WAS WARNED TO STAY OUT.
Oh.My.God! Genius! On my way
Oh.My.God! Genius! On my way to the store now! Thanks a bunch. }:)
The ex lax brownies are my
The ex lax brownies are my favorite memory of stepdevil14. She was always stealing food and eating us out of house and home.
I made a batch of brownies with chocolate chips in them. After she ate her 2 for dessert, I wrapped the rest on a plate and put a sticky note that said "DON'T TOUCH". The very top brownie contained a square of chocolate ex lax.
We went to bed. Next morning, I hear SD running back and forth to the bathroom. She was like that ALL DAY long! She said "something I ate for dinner made me sick". I said, "we all ate the same thing, but you ate MUCH more so maybe you ate a bit TOO much and that's why you're sick?"
NEVER had to worry about her stealing food (unless it was prepackaged from the store) again.
oh, I hear you, I'm fixing to
oh, I hear you, I'm fixing to start my flow and nobody better get between me & my chocolate. My poor DH, he looked the house up & down last night trying to find me a Reese cup, their my favorite, bless his heart. and I'm really not even crazy yet, he just knows how to put a smile on my face and what'll keep me happy.
I love the idea of the exlax brownies, I'll store that away incase I ever need to use it. }:)
I was going to say exlax too
I was going to say exlax too but that damn bi beat me too it!
Exactly. I mean its bad
Exactly. I mean its bad enough that I can't keep anything in the house because of her thieving hands, but on the rare occasion that I do have something she eats damn near the whole box.
Its just an extremely difficult situation all around. BS9 only weighs 68 pounds! That's it. He is not unhealthy or anything. He's just a small kid who is very active. SD8 weighs 115 and refuses to do any sort of exercise at all. It sucks because I can't keep any snacks in the house for the kids because SD8 eats like a horse. It's kind of like BS9 suffers due to SD8's uncontrollable mouth.
My skids aren't overweight -
My skids aren't overweight - but they are junk food hounds.
I refuse to buy soda, juice boxes, cookies or pre-packed snacks because they inhale them. My bios do not do this, they ask if they can have such and such and they KNOW juice boxes are reserved for school lunches.
However, since I can't buy pre-packed snacks or juice boxes for school lunches anymore, they all do without.
If I do breakdown and buy any of the above, they are inhaled in a matter of 2 days - its all just gone and there is nothing for the lunches, i have tried hiding it but as as soon as they get one on their lunch, they seek it out.
Cookies, sometimes I buy a package for dessert, the skids take 4+ each - my bios take one each and sometimes ask for another if they are small.
Its like give an inch take a bloody mile. I avoid buying it just so I don't get frustrated at the take take take. But it bothers me that my kids have to miss out when they do not abuse it.
