[quote=Anonymous]Toddler is 18 months old. My MIL is his main caregiver, but recently my mom has wanted to care for him 1- 2 days a week. We have differences but I agreed to it in order to let them bind and give MIL a break. For the last two weeks, the food I have prepared for him has not been eaten. I asked my mom about it and she said he wanted fast food or a treat. She has been taking him to places like McDonalds and bringing him snacks like twinkies from her home. She even has let him drink some Pepsi. DH and I are upset about this. We eat healthy and try to limit junk food. We do have treats 1-2 times a week that includes family going out for ice cream or some home baked goods, but this to us is excessive. We don’t feel an 18 month old needs any of this junk. My mom said she fed me that and I am fine. I am “ ruining” his childhood by not allowing those foods. We view it as when he is older ( teenager), he can eat what he wants, but as a child, we decide what to feed him. Am I being too overbearing?[/quote]
