[quote=Anonymous]I have to agree with 11:26.  I think this falls under the "grandparents spoiling" type of behavior.  I think it is pretty common for our parents to do this, especially since when we were growing up, there wasn't as much of the "evil sugar" mentality as there is now.

Also OP, I'm a bit confused.  Does your daughter have the normal reaction to sugar that most kids do?  I.e. the "hyped up, followed by the crash and irritability?"  If so, I think I'd either deal with it when it happens, or arrange other childcare more often so grandmother is watching our daughter less.   If your daughter has a specific reaction to the gummies that she does not have with any other sugar and this has been discussed with the ped., then maybe the best thing to do is tell grandma what ped said about the gummies, and then offer other treats she can give your daughter to "spoil her".

But honestly, when you add in the thing about not carrying water in your car so your daughter doesn't get used to it, you just sound really controlling.  So your best bet might be to limit the amount of time your daughter spends alone with grandma.  [/quote]
