[quote=Anonymous]Since your child is 10 I think he's old enough to know and follow your rules. We're not talking about a toddler. That said, I do agree that one of the perks of being a grandparent is "spoiling" your grandkids a little. So I would just talk to the grandparents about limits. One special treat per day is OK; multiple is not, etc. My MIL gave my kids cookies, then doughnuts, then ice cream, and then my 11 year old got sick and threw up. :roll: There were natural consequences to MIL's bad judgment. Now my tween is wary of spending time with her. IME, these things tend to work themselves out. Kids can tell the difference between a sweet grandparent who says, "Oh, can't he have a cookie?" versus over the top grandparents who are shoveling desserts down the kids' throats with no concern for their health.[/quote]
