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.

You sound very nuts. op didn't even tell us what the snack is! Maybe op could tell her child that we will eat "miss so and so's snack later?' Why be such a kill joy when you don't have to be?

Awww I hate snacking and am very structured about snacks but I would find this sweet. Just let it be. There's a lady next door to us who would do this sort of thing with my toddler and I think it's lovely.

You have to say make sure you aren't saying it like oh no you don't need to do that, she doesn't need a snack in a happy sweet voice. Your kid picks up on it at a young age and does the same. If you want it to stop, just say in a even normal voice, no really please don't give her snack every day. I don't want her to have it and it's not fair to the other kids who are not getting anything. And let your child hear you and then coach your child to say no thank you when offered.

What about a white lie? Take her aside and tell her your daughter has cavities.

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.

Get a life you weirdo.

Is this the bot?

What does “your kid looking cute even w/ a mask” have to do with it ? I am sure the other kids are cute, too

This used to happen at our old school, and it was so hard. I don’t want someone handing my tired two year juice and cookies when we are thirty minutes from dinner. Once, maybe, but every day I either have to risk insulting a kind old lady I will see every workday for the next seven years or have my kid eat juice for dinner for the next seven years.

I just moved. Not a recommended approach (and not why we moved!), but I totally sympathize.

It's a sweet gesture and will teach your kid people look out for her. Unless there's a real problem with the actual food, this should always outweigh the dietary issues.
If you are concerned about the woman, don't be. It's her choice. Thank her.

I wouldn't care about the food. I would care about the fact that the place I was planning to send my child just routinely ignored my requests.

OP is a drama queen

Wow let it go

Can you slip the lady some stickers and ask her to skip the food and only give your kid stickers? You could say you love that she and your kid have made friends and want to help keep it going but that the snacks spoil dinner. I think a nice older lady would totally understand.
