[quote=Anonymous]I think there’s more than one issue here. You can sit your parents down and ask them kindly to refrain from all the junk. Explain you don’t mind occasional treats but that means one serving a visit and if it’s 5x a week and that’s really a concern try to make some of those visits at non-food locations/times. Meet at the park. Have them watch your child’s soccer game or dance class. But I’d pick my battles here and try to find a middle ground.

The other issue is your husbands inflexible rules are harmful and any true medical expert will tell you excessive. He has an eating disorder or another underlying issue.

You’re probably getting different responses here based on the age of people’s own kids. Most of us start off with intentions for a 100% healthy non-processed diet. But most of us learn how unrealistic it is as our kids grow and spend more time out in the world. All you can control is what you buy and serve in your own home. That’s probably 90% of what they eat and that should be good enough. Don’t sweat what happens on the outside. Don’t make foods “bad” because they become overvalued. By the time my kids hit ES, I was stocking “junk” and noticed the friends who came over binged when visiting. My own kids loved fruits and veggies. [/quote]
