[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op I don't know how old your DC is but a little frosting won't hurt anyone. Micromanaging your MIL will hurt lots of relationships. You need to let MIL break rules sometimes as long as everyone stays safe. [/quote]

I don't know, I don't think it's cool to load up someone else's kid on sugar when you're not the one that has to deal with the fallout afterwards.[/quote]

But it's not just a little frosting. Every child-centered activity, get together, meal is christened with flavored sugar in not insignificant quantities. People who say it's just one cookie, one scoop of ice cream - everything's ok in moderation - seem to forget that in order to have moderation, you have to say no sometimes and if that "no" happens to coincide with the lump of sugar you want to put on my child's plate, then you take great offense. If I can't say no to this mound of sugar because you'll get offended, then are you volunteering the next person's sweet offering as the item to be decline for moderation's sake?
