[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do 13 & 15 year olds need to be supervised after school? My son is 14 and was in sports after school or went to the library.

Cut out the afternoon "supervision" and get the kids involved in after school activities. Invite the grandparents over for a weekly dinner instead of the after school supervision/fast food runs. [/quote]

This. Thy certainly don't need babysitters anymore. Have them play a sport or do something active after school. I am not particularly athletic but my parents insisted I play on a school sports team every semester so I would get exercise after school.

What do your ex ILs say when you ask them not to get your kids fast food? It is a very reasonable request. Tell them dinner is at 6 and you have xyz heathy snacks available for after school but no fast food at all and no snacks after 5. Their weight has nothing to do with it so don't bring it up, it's none of your business if they want to have McDonald's and then eat at your house, as long as your kids aren't eating mcdonalds. If they refuse to comply with this request, end the after school arrangement and just have them over for dinner or other activities.[/quote]
