[quote=Anonymous]I know the feeling, like when an IL would give a toy to my sick kid, then pass it to my healthy baby to play with. Bring your child's own utensils and sippy cup with you to the restaurant. Don't let the kid sit on anyone else's lap (which makes it almost impossible for you to eat at a restaurant). In private, tell your immediate family your rules and get your chattiest family member to tell the extended family your rules. Then they have been prepped for you telling them to use your child's own utensils, and they should know better. I'd be more worried about the high chair that a zillion other kids have used or the table. Or just stop going out to restaurants with these people. Or go in smaller groups who you can have some control over. No one can even hear anyone at the other end of a table. By letting other people hold your kid, you are basically giving up any control over what happens.[/quote]
