A lady gives my little one snacks every day

My older kid is at an aftercare program, and there is a lady staff always give my little one snack when she sees her or when she sees me (even my little one is not there). I don't mind my little one have snacks, but I feel the lady does not need to do that daily, like 5 times a week for months already. My little one is cute even with mask on, and I think that lady likes her so much. I have told her not to do that, but she insists and my little one loves to eat snack.
My little one will be going to that aftercare program in 1 year, and I can't imagine how much that lady will spoil her to the moon. Based on my observation, that lady only gives snack to my little one, not other younger kids. I think that lady enjoys giving her a snack no matter how much I say and my little one smiles at her everytime she gets a snack , should I let her be? I feel a bit burden with the snack favor that my young kid has got so far. |

| My mail lady leaves 2 dog treats in our mailbox every day. She likes my dogs. I give her a nice Xmas bonus and some treats for her dog at Christmas. It spreads joy. |

| What’s the snack? Unless it’s a jumbo ice cream cone, for Pete’s sake, let it go. Little kids can absorb massive amounts of calories, and it’s also how humans interact. |

I bet it would be ok with op if the snack was organic fair trade kelp infused chia seed kale and acai chips. |

| You could criticise her for it. Maybe she will quit an someone who already hates the job will be next in line. |

I would flat out say to stop. No sugar coating it, be direct but nice.
I don't really care if it "brings her joy" to feed my child crappy snack foods daily. She needs to find joy in a different way. |

I’ve been in this situation when my son was a toddler in daycare. We kindly asked them to only give them the food that we went. It was fine, and they were not insulted. It was more that he wanted to eat what they were eating, and they obliged. But no, I didn’t want my son eating bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits from McDonald’s on a daily basis.
OP - it’s fine to ask her to stop giving your daughter a snack. It’s NOT fine for her to keep giving her the snack against her wishes. Teach your DD to say no thank you. And send her a snack for after school. |

| Ask her to stop. I have a kid with allergies. No one gives my kid anything without my go-ahead. |

| I wouldn’t like this either, especially if you already asked her to stop. Weird that she insists and won’t stop even after you asked her. Maybe you’ll have to say something each and every time until it sticks. |

| Let it go, OP. I’m old enough to remember when people did not get butthurt over stuff like this. My granddaddy used to give kids candy at church. It was such a sweet gesture. ♥️ |
