[quote=Anonymous]My in laws are very nice & thoughtful - above and beyond.

However they can't seem to stop offering my kids junk food after I've told them many times I don't want them snacking in between meals.  During our joint spring break vacation, kids were offered 1 gallon zip lock bag each with chips/breakfast bars/candies/gummies for a 5 hour drive after having breakfast.   Previously, they were offered sundaes right before lunch....these are just some of the examples.

My kids are average weight and under 10, theirs are 10-13 and overweight, there's no reason for them to snack continuously between meals.  Their kids are already saying "i'm fat, my friends say i'm slow because i'm fat...the older cousins think i'm thick."  and they continuously sneak snacks into their rooms to eat.   My husband, his sisters are in their 40s, overweight and diabetic....my parents are diabetic....their parents passed away from cancer.

I don't know what else to get them to understand.  Stopping my kids from seeing their relatives isn't an option.
