Mum's Tuck Box

[ailbhe]

In spite of my gut-reaction being negative, I think I will have a private stash of special food children aren't allowed to raid. They are good about my private things, like my desk and my art materials.

It just feels wrong to do it with food.

But I really need to know that when I stumble irritably towards the cereal bars, they'll be there, and not have the tops bitten off to see which one is nicest.

I can see why 'hoarding' food might feel wrong if you had a food shortage generally (although, being a nursing mother means you NEED to stay fed so Astrid can stay fed), but as long as there's plenty of food for the other people in the house, making sure there's "easy food for Ailbhe" around is sensible.

(We try to make sure there is "easy food for Rachel" in the house at all times due to migraine and my own temper / inabiity to work out what to eat when hungry, but I haven't - yet - had to ringfence it from Charles.)
