Step son eating everything

Well you said you already know this is normal.... Have you tried getting him more filling food? Or maybe talked to him yourself? I obviously don't know how long he's been your step son but surely you could at least have a talk with him saying "hey I really don't appreciate when you take food intended for me. Is there maybe some snacks youd like us to get for you to have whenever? "

Could you have a snack drawer for snacks he can have? Then anything you don’t want him to have like your personal chocolates put them elsewhere

Already seen it but doesnt have the decency to let you know?? You need to have a sit down with that man and tell him to step up. Its one thing eating all the food in the house, its another to steal presents from you and eat them himself. I get it, hes starving but if thats the case he needs to be taught healthy eating that will actually fill him up. But why should he care if his dad doesnt? I wouldn't hide food, it will just cause angry outbursts and may even cause him to become self conscious/ashamed, resulting in a poor relationship with food

What is your relationship like with your stepson?

Were the chocs he ate, ones that he gave you? Or were they from your other kids?

Does he live with you full-time?

Do you know if he is the same with food at his mother’s house?

i used to do this at my dads house during covid, i got so fat, i wish someone had told me to stop and that i was getting fat lol, might be worth just saying the amount of crap he’s eating he will just get fat from it and just be really straight up about it

This is very normal for teenagers! They're going through a growth spurt and dealing with a lot of physical changes. You might have to hide/lock up your chocolates for a while and reduce the amount of sweet snacks in the house - if it's not there he will have to eat the healthy snacks!

I would definitely talk to your stepson about the mothers day chocolates. Id tell him that it hurt your feelings because they were a gift for you. Id tell his dad to tell him he needs to replace them.

My stepson is 11, he also eats everything! When i go food shopping i specifically ask him what snacks he wants.. he knows once theyre gone, you can just eat everyone elses snacks without asking first. Sometimes ill say yes, sometimes ill say 'nah kid, theyre mine.. you can have a banana if youre hungry'

It feels a little disrespectful to jist demolish everything without considering anyone else.
