[quote=Anonymous]As long as you make your veggie meals taste delicious 5 days a week, those 2 days aren't going to matter.

I grew up with my grandpa taking care of me. We would eat cereal with cream and brown sugar for breakfast, ginger ale and chicken nuggets for lunch. I would sacrifice five years at the end of my life for that time I got to spend with him. Oh, and I love veggies. I'm a vegetarian and was a vegan for 10 years. I'm a total health nut (although I hate disgusting overcooked bland veggies prepared by People Who Don't Like Vegetables, and so you definitely don't want to encourage your mom in that direction, since I think that's what turns so many kids off early). Anyway, life is short, and people come first. Sounds like you control what your child eats most of the time. If it really stresses you out, you can leave some prepped veggies in the fridge for when your mama comes, bake and mash sweet potatoes or squash or something yummy as a side dish-- and if your kiddo doesn't eat it, no sweat, at least you offered. But I'd argue that variety is good, and that learning that treats are sometimes available is good, too, esp. if they're home-cooked with a loving hand. Granny isn't taking junior out to McDonald's twice a week, right?[/quote]
