[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are watching DS' diet because diabetes runs in both of our families, and our kid has had two cavities already to boo (he's 10). My parents recently came to visit and when they were spending time with DS, they kept giving him candy. They've already taken him for ice cream and other treats behind my back after I told them to please not do that. For them, I really know it's all about them. They love the whole feel-good experience of being the grandparents who dish out the treats. I honestly don't care. I'm the one who will have to have the awful experience of giving my kid insulin shots, not them. I told them I will begin babysitting their visits with him. They were aghast, of course, because they think they have some sort of grandparent privilege to give our kid everything he wants. I've had it. When I tell them to stop the act like jerks and don't think it's a big deal. I've even sent the candy back with them. For those who have clueless grandparents who think they're entitled to fill your kid with sugar, what have you done short of only letting them see your kid when you're around?  My kid's health comes first, not special grandparent feelings. [/quote]
