[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have no idea whether sugar or food dye causes a tantrum. And I have no idea whether you are controlling or not. But I do know that if you told your MIL several times not to give your child something and then she did, THAT'S A PROBLEM.

Address it directly with DH right there with you. Here's how to start:
"Madge, I have shared on several occassions that I do not want Larla to have sugary gummies and candy. My understanding is that you agreed to honor that. Recently, we have learned that you have given Larla candy, including last week at your house and then again giving her skittles at the movies.  What's up with that?" [/quote]

Yeah, the problem here is that your MIL is not listening to how you want to raise your child. If you address it with her, don't try to convince her you are correct about gummies being dangerous. You're not going to win her over with your logic, nor should you have to. The point is that you made it clear you didn't want her to give your kid gummies and she did it any way, which made you feel disrespected.[/quote]
