[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about you say: "I know you mean well, but Larla has a medical condition please don’t give her extra cake or please ask me first. " Except maybe say "extra food"[/quote] I think that you probably want to say "any food". In my experience, what people think are appropriate portion sizes, or what they think is "regular" vs. "extra" is really varied. So, I'd say "She has a medical issue where we need to be very aware of and careful about what she eats. Please do not give her any food without checking with us first." and then emphasize this by making sure they see that you are really the ones making all the food decisions (e.g. don't ask them to babysit and tell them that today's it's ok that they just serve whatever).[/quote]
