Does your DH know about it? As of about a month ago DH knows it happens, but not frequency and quantities. |
Seriously, my husband is worse than I am.
EDIT: I don't think we have ever actually locked the door to nosh in our room, but we certainly eat things we don't want to share or we don't want the kids to know we have in the house (...) in our room with the door closed.
And I do hide chocolate in our room.

Hide ice cream in brocolli bags in the freezer, works like a charm...as long as your family doesn't LOVE brocolli like mine.

Lol. I once found a huge packet of jellies in DH closet under a pair of pants. We still laugh about it. We don't have kids yet.

You ladies are so funny. What happens if you tell your kids they can't eat something? Do they just disobey you? Do you think they figured out what you are doing?

Not every mom has a stash. Only the ones that know how to hide it well enough. You chose to disclose to dh? Your stash is on shaky grounds now. Sorry.

Nothing. No food is allowed upstairs in the bedrooms. I do drink water in my room.

Nothing? At least nothing on purpose. I don't feel the need to share what I eatand kids can understand that this is X's bottle, Y's baby food, mom's snack.

For me it's a matter of not wanting to share that particular treat at that particular time. Guilt-free.

Absolutely normal!
I had a giant chocolate stash in my room, until I started to look giant. Then I sent it all to work with DH.
I have a fridge in my room, sometimes I buy ice cream and leave it in there.
Although I’ve been on a diet since sukkos (on and off) so this business has stopped

Eating in the bedroom? Ew. Unsanitary.

I hide the treats (chocolate, salt water taffy, and once a Snapple) from my son so he never sees them in the first place.
I just want to have something without having to share!
Of course I give him his own age appropriate treats occasionally. But sometimes I want something all to myself. (Sorry, dh!)

my morning coffee with a granola bar - From my first bus until my last bus is an hour and 45 minutes. That means, unless I'm willing to share my breakfast, I need to starve for a good 2.5 hours from when I wake up.
A few days ago, I also had a custard donut and saved the other one in my bedroom for DH for when he came home later.
I've also sometimes eaten supper in my room simply because I don't want to get up for anything for the few minutes of eating. If I'm there, the kids will pester. Even if I tell them, I'm in middle of eating, please wait till I finish, it gets super annoying to keep on doing that. So I tell them, I'm going into my room to eat supper; I will come out when I'm done. Please only knock on my door if there's a robber or a fire. And because they don't see me, they don't badger as much.

This is a short-term solution. If the kids never see you sitting and eating, they won't learn to respect your mealtime. Also, you're demonstrating that it's ok to eat on the run, away from the table. That's probably not how they should think of meals.
Are you and dh eating with them? That's the best way for them to learn adult manners. If it's not possible, and for some years it wasn't, when the kids were young and dh worked late, try reading to them as they eat. Everyone at the table is focused on the same thing, and you aren't getting up, because you are busy reading.
