[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-I was out and didn't have the drink with me because I hadn't come from home. I made that comment because we didn't grow up constantly having drinks and snacks in the car for ten minute drives and I am always overly prepared so I have created an expectation which is my fault but the last few times I have picked up I haven't had the drink with me and I tell MIL I am coming without drinks and snacks so give a drink before if thirsty.

I don't want to freak out on her so I am going to have to remind her the next time. I do make other suggestions so that she can still give a "treat" without having it be that one that seems to really get child wound up.

You are missing the point that other PPs are saying.  If your daughter has the snack well before you pick her up and THEN she has the tantrum, then the tantrum is not caused by the snack.  It is caused by something else, in this case, being tired and thirsty.   You are clearly stuck on this sugar/food coloring issue and I'm betting it is for other reasons than the "it makes my kid meltdown."  If you don't want your kid to have sugar and food coloring, then by all means, just admit it.  But right now you sound overly controlling of food and hung up on it, when it truly doesn't sound like the gummies are causing your child to have a meltdown.  [/quote]
