OP here,

Part of the issue is that they are more willing to force vegetables than I am.  Their approach is to put a meal, consisting of things their kids usually eat, on the table and tell them they have to eat it.

My approach is different.  But I know their kids well enough to be able to predict what they will definitely choose, and what they might try, and so I can usually put a meal on the table where vegetables get eaten, except then I get told that what I served isn’t a vegetable, or doesn’t count because it wasn’t a full serving, or that hidden ingredients don’t count or whatever.

I should note that if I was alone with her kids, I would probably just do it her way, but my own kids are there eating the same meal, and I feel pretty strongly about not forcing them.  [/quote]

This is absurd. Tell this relative you are going to feed the kids the way you feed your kids. If that's not good enough, she can find someone else to kid-sit. [/quote]
