A friend of mine doesn’t know how to handle this awkward situation.  Her kids have

neighborhood friends that come over and help themselves to items in her pantry.
They go after the Ice Cream – Chips – Cookies – Pop-Tarts and other treats.

She didn’t say if they were going after the carrots or celery sticks too. 

There are two kids (from the same family) ages 7 and 9 and she thinks this behavior is disrespectful.  She doesn’t even let her kids do it. She doesn’t know what to do. I told her to put a pad lock on the cupboard…but that won’t really go with the décor.

What would you do if your child’s friends were raiding your cupboards?

Please share.
