My daughter would lock herself in the bathroom to eat: one day I decided to set up a camera to understand the reason for her strange behavior, and I saw something shocking
Lately, my five-year-old daughter has been acting very strangely. She has always been an obedient and smart child, learned new things easily, and was never picky with food. But suddenly, she developed a habit that really worried me.
Every time I called her for lunch, she refused to sit at the table. Instead, she would take her plate to the bathroom, where she had already placed a small chair. There, she would lock the door and only then start eating. When she was finished, she would come out with an empty plate, as if nothing unusual had happened.
At other times, she never went there to play or sit – the bathroom had become just her eating place. At first, I thought, “It’s probably just a game, it will pass soon.” But when this repeated every day for a whole month, I got scared. The worst thoughts started flashing through my mind: could something be wrong with her?
Talking to my daughter was useless – she responded to my questions with silence. So I decided: in the morning, I set up a hidden camera in the bathroom to watch.
When lunchtime came, she took her plate again, went to the bathroom, locked herself in, and sat on her chair. At first, she ate calmly. But then something happened that shocked me 😨😱 Continued in the first comment ⬇️⬇️
Suddenly, my daughter loudly said:
— That’s it! Alex gets nothing!
I almost dropped my phone. Alex is her older brother.
Later, I called my son and asked strictly:
— Do you know why your sister always eats in the bathroom?
— Yes, I know, — he replied calmly.
— And why?
I was scared to hear his answer.
— This scaredy-cat is afraid I’ll steal her food. That’s why she locks herself in.
— Have you ever stolen her food?
My son shrugged:
— Yes, a few times. It’s not my fault that hers always tastes better.
Then it all became clear. I had imagined terrible scenarios, but the truth was much simpler. My daughter was just afraid her brother would take a piece of her favorite food again.
And she’s very vengeful and principled – she decided to protect her food at all costs.
