[quote=Anonymous]Unlike the other posters who are dealing with family that offers no food, I have the opposite problem.  My IL's only stock their house with extreme amounts of junk food, and almost nothing with any nutritional value.  Now...I am not a grinch - I get that it's the holidays, and I truly am okay with my kids being allowed Cheetos, and Oreos, and Lucky Charms during a visit at their grandparents.  But!  for several days of this type of food, they all start to act crazy and complain of stomach aches.  Not to mention - I don't want to eat like this for days on end.  They occasionally serve salad or vegetables, but I'm talking iceberg lettuce + croutons + cheese and dressing or mashed potatoes.  Heavy amounts of meat at every meal.

They are super sweet, and I've learned that I just go to the grocery store and pick up my own produce, but I feel like an ungrateful b, and certainly my kids get annoyed when I make them eat the occasional healthy thing.  We're headed up next week, and I'm already dreading it. [/quote]
