Stealing food

Jenny

Hi. My son is 12 and was diagnosed with asperges 2 years ago. I find that he is increasing stealing food from the cupboards and then I find wrappers in his room. This is all sugar heavy stuff so crisps. Chocolates etc. he is putting on weight fast and despite putting a lock on the cupboard it’s carrying on 

I guess my question is, does anyone else have this challenge? And what do I do about it? A dietician? A therapist? 

im at my wits end.

thanks in advance.

  • Sounds like me at that age. I suspect in my case the smoking helped keep the weight gain from happening...

    My parents turned a blind eye unless I took too much. But as people above have alluded, I felt I had to steal until I learned how to get my own independent income through first a paper round (rubbish work, and rubbish rewards) then fixing electronics stuff (much better rewards, & the work was interesting & built me a solid relatiionship with the local second hand dealer).
