[quote=Anonymous]Take out the treats and dole them out to your children over time. If you have the king size bar, cut off a bite for each of them and put the rest in a ziploc baggie. Give them a piece say, once a week. If your MIL is sending more than this, next time you see her tell her "Thank you so much for the treats. My friends at the office *LOVE* them." If she mentions that she bought them for the kids, just say "Really? Well, I mentioned that the kids can't have that much sugar so I save a few bites for their once/week treat and then send the rest to the office." She can then deal or stop sending them. When someone wants to push your buttons, the worst thing you can do is express exasperation because that's a sign they succeeded. If you don't let it bother you (or at least don't let her know that it bothers you), she'll stop spending money on sophomoric games.[/quote]
