[quote=Anonymous]I struggle with this with my mother-in-law, who has a very unhealthy diet. My advice to you, OP, is both to try to relax about it but also maintain your standards--because, at least in my experience, it will get much worse as your child gets older and starts expecting certain kind of food and it becomes part of the fun for Grandma to provide the junk. My MIL started with the starchy food instead of veggies, then moved onto sugared cereal, fast food, cookies, then candy, then soda, etc etc. She loves to tell the stories of how she introduced my kids to each of these things and it is all really sort of funny and I am glad that she is happy but I swear they eat nothing of nutritional value at the in-laws' house: dinners might be pancakes with ice cream for dessert. I agree with the others that a couple of bad meals a week is not horrible in the grand scheme so if you are at her house, let it go. But why not control what you are able to control and serve what you want to serve in your own home. Maybe compromise and let her give a little treat after the veggies?[/quote]
