Nowee has been known to sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night and swipe food (we usually find crumbs in his bed or leftovers in the closet). Today I made a huge batch of cookies, and the boys are not getting one. They pushed me too far by taking sooo long (all day) to clean up their messes. But I know Nowee will try to sneak some tonight. I usually keep them in a canister on the counter. There are some in there now, but they are sprinkled with DH's super hot spice. Nowee can take the heat (he's 4 1/2 and can eat the "man sauce" right along with daddy), but he won't be expecting it. Hopefully it will teach him a lesson.

I'm so mean.

hm I think I might be only one who doesn't see a problem with it lol He's doing something he shouldn't be doing and lotsa kids are obese because they "sneak" stuff and parents don't know about it. Not to mention he likes hot sauce? And just won't expect it in food? Although I don't think I could possibly ever have thought of that one up! lol I just wouldn't make them in first place lol cuz waste of some good cookies

Won't the children be afraid of what you fix them for breakfast/lunch/dinner too?

I don't know your specifics, but that truly is not my parenting style.

Children are quick to copy our behavior as adults, not just our words.
That is how children learn - from we adults and caregivers.

Won't you be wondering what will be the next soda or ice tea the children
bring for their loving mother?

What about if your children do the same thing with the hot sauce to the
baby next door or the family dog?

There is a case in Quincy, IL of a resident doctor sneaking ant killer into coffee & donuts of coworkers. He is in prison now.

I agree - put the cookie jar out of reach and away from the kids.

You might as well edit or delete your post now because there is going to be people calling you a child abuser before long.

I see nothing wrong with it, but than again I don't have childern. I bet after tonight your lil one will think twice about sneaking food!


There is a HUGE difference between TOXIC ant killer and hot sauce/sprinkles!

Well, I am with you, too.

If I tell my children *not* to do something - there is a reason for it. I do not always have the time to explain "why" - and they will find in llife, their teachers & bosses will not eigther. Better a little hot sauce on their tongue than a concussion from falling as they try to get that "out of reach" cookie jar ( been there, done that, have a hospital bill to show for it )

What I don't get is what is the problem you are addressing? Is your son sneaking food at night bothering you? If he is truly hungry in the middle of the night, then you need to provide him with more snacks in the day.

Why shock the kid with hot cookies because he's hungry?

Do you hear when he gets up and does this? Maybe it's just me, but I always have half an ear open and could never sleep through my son rifling through the cabinets or fridge. I'd wake up or my husband would.

Please don't use food to punish the children. It sounds like your son has some food issues already if he gets up and sneaks food. If your kids did not do what you expected in the day, then there are other methods.

I would never do what you did, but I don't live in your house and I don't know how hard your children are to control.

Please don't get offended. You asked for advice and even called yourself a "mean mommy." I'm just with the other ladies who say put the temptation away somewhere else.
