[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She’s doing it to f$& with you. Show me one normal grandmother who sends large amounts of sweets in good faith. [/quote]

I hate to say it but I agree. Your mom is messing with you, Op, and saying something about either your boundaries and her right to violate them or her “right” to make the rules for your kids.

My mom just sent me a huge box of candy for my birthday. For 5 years, I’ve said “please don’t send me candy” and she knows that I have struggled with a sweet tooth and my weight.

At this point I know my mom does it on purpose. She has a super messed up relationship with food and some kind of undiagnosed personality disorder, and has always relished me gaining weight while at the same time chastising me for it.

I’ve shielded my daughter from it. Hope you can do the same with your kids. My daughter saw the most recent box, asked to pick one kind of candy out for herself, and told me she didn’t think we needed it and asked would it be ok if we didn’t eat it?[/quote]
