Secret Hiding Place

Do you have a secret hiding place in your home to stash away stuff that is private and personal for you and you are just afraid the wrong person in the family might see it or use it? I used to have to hide my money from my son when he was a teenager or he would take it right out of my purse. I had hiding places all over. One place he never looked was in a pocket of clothing hanging up in the closet.

As a kid I'd always hide under my bed, because nobody would look there. I'd move the boxes out and go at the back and place the boxes in front of me. Now it's more my grandfathers and daughters graves. I always go there to reflect and consider things, especially when I do feel like hiding from people. Most times it's to get over something which is affecting me. Both of them give me a great deal of power to heal. ~Joey

Well, so far , it's just me and my hubby in our little family (with our two dogs..LOL) and we don't hide anything from each other. Why should we? I'm not saying that once we have kids we won't have to hide things from them, like you said money, especially when they're teenagers, but for now, everything is in the open.

Yes, I do. Ever since I started watching the tv show 'It Takes a Thief', I realized how easily thieves can break in and get a hold of a lot of your personal information. My computer desk has a cupboard that locks and I stash extra cash in there, my purse with my wallet, house keys and credit cards. I also have my tax information in there, check book, anything that has my personal info. on it. I never really thought about until I watched that show. We have our car keys hidden and also my cabinet keys.

I don't have any hiding places to hide stuff . It is hard at Christmas and times like this when I don't want the children to see what I got for them but I have to trust them that they will not look in my room . I would hate the fact that I had to hide my money for fear that one of my children would take it and pray I never have to worry abou this . I have had people steal from us in the past and so even though I don't actually have any hiding places from our family , we do have places we put things so that others coming in would not know where to look :)
