[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're going on vacation next week to see my parents. They usually make lots of generous meals, go out for burgers and pizza, and love spoiling the grandkids with daily ice cream, home made treats, etc. I'm usually totally fine with a week of indulging but my 9 year old has become obese this year and his doctor has helped us come up with a moderate family eating plan to help get him to a healthy weight. I'm worried that a week of gorging will set him way back.[b] I asked my parents if we could make some healthy menu changes this year and they are not willing to limit the sweets.[/b] I'm normally not controlling about food but this has become a serious health issue for my kid and I need them to be supportive. How do I get them to help while we're staying with them?[/quote]

WTF?  Cake Hero Grandparents are back for 4+ meals a day of cake?

Where to retirees get this selfish attitude from?

Email them your child's diet and tell them you need their help with nutrition, calories and adhering to the diet. Sign off with a Thank you for understanding.

No conversation needed.  If they cross the line, take them aside, give them a print out of the email and tell them to stop undermining you.
