[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- He's not controlling about a single other thing in our lives, just the quality of the food. Like I said, he doesn't even care about fats as long as they're "good fats." He's often had trouble gaining weight, so he emphasizes nuts a lot and it annoys him that our kids can't have nuts in school.

We see my parents at least 5x a week. I don't approve of junk food at all, but I'm so sick of fighting everyone. My parents will give my kids opaque cups with straws in front of us and pretend it's water when it's really Sprite or root beer. I'm not ready to cut my parents off, but I would definitely choose dh over them. His parents do the same though and we see them every other week. I think it makes dh feel like he can't "treat" our kids because they've already had their fill of junk and desserts everywhere else. And so he has to be the healthy one since no one else gave them a fruit or vegetable. [/quote]

Your parents are really inappropriate. I would tell them flat out "Sneaking the kids food we don't want them to have is not okay. The next time you do this, we're going to leave/ask you to leave, even though it's going to break my heart. This is really important to us - it's not a game, and we don't have to justify our reasons to you. You got to feed your kids the way you wanted, and we get to feed our kids the way we want. Please respect that." And then .... follow through. Get up and walk out and don't respond to texts, calls, etc. for a week. They will throw a fit, and then stop the behavior if they want to see the kids again. [/quote]
