How to Hide Snacks From Kids If You Don’t Want to Share
If you have children, opening a bag of cookies means asking a lot of questions: “What is this?” “Where did you take it?” “Can I have some?” “Can I get it all?” “Could this be my dinner?”
NO! You deserve to have a quiet snack, but sometimes it takes strategic planning. You need some good hiding places or some good stories.
Here’s how parents hide candy and snacks from kids when they don’t want to share:
“I had the frosting last week. I told her that it was spicy sour cream and ate it right in front of her eyes. “
– Elizabeth K.
“My son was hospitalized for a tree nut allergy, so since he was 3 years old, I just told him that there are nuts in the snacks (which I didn’t want to share). Then he doesn’t bother me and doesn’t want them. “
– Chasiti B.
“Do you know those frozen pea bags or even salad bags ? I hide them there.
– ANAKHITA N.
“I take the cookie / candy / whatever I have in my hand, pretend to pick up something that fell under the table, and stuff my mouth really fast.”
– DOROTY YU.
I have Reese’s Pieces, a Hershey’s bar, and some Oreos in my rice cooker .
