[quote=Anonymous]So just because you get something from free from a family member, you should allow them to do what they want with your child?

If the OP posted that her mother watched her kid and let him ride short distances not buckled up, this board would be up in arms.  If OP posted that her mother watched her kid and let the kid sit in front of a TV or iPad all day, everyone would be posting studies to share with the mom about the dangers of screen time delaying development.  But because it's food related the OP needs to just chill and be grateful she has free care?

Nah.  It's your kid.  You're not being overbearing.  An 18 moth old especially does not need McDonald's, Twinkies, and Pepsi within a 2-day span.

Grandparents spoil in general; it's their thing.  But they should still respect your wishes.  My parents know that they can treat the kids to ice cream after school or a doughnut, but not every single time they are with them.  Make a rule that she can give him one special treat every X amount of time she spends with him.  Push the importance of experiences with him vs. giving treats.

My grandma was one to always treat us.  My memories of her are of her feeding us.  I don't remember any experiences with her.         [/quote]
