[quote=Anonymous]If it were just to you, I’d say trash them or take them to work, but she is likely to ask the kids about whether they liked the sweets. So I would say, “Mom, the kids love getting gifts from you in the mail and I am so appreciative of your thoughtfulness in sending them. I’m recommitting our family focus on healthy eating right now, so I am trying to limit the sweets in the house. Can you help me out and stop giving sweets for the time being? The kids would love origami paper, coloring books, or new pens and markers, if you want to send something. This new focus is going to be a little hard on all of us! Let me tell you about where we have been taking family walks to get some exercise….” Rinse, repeat every time she sends candy. If it continues more than once or twice, then chuck it/give it away.[/quote]
