[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teaching kids to hide things from you isn’t OK.  Whether the thing they are hiding is OK or not, telling kids to keep secrets from parents sets them up to be groomed and abused.

So, while I think your husband is overreacting and setting your kids up for eating problems, that isn’t the big problem here.

I think you and he and your parents need to sit and talk about this, and figure out some kind of compromise where you are all on the same page.

I am also curious because you say they can have treats at special occasions.  [b]I wonder if part of the problem is that you and grandparents are seeing visiting grandparents as a special occasion and dad is seeing it as an every day thing[/b].  I am fine with my kids eating almost everything out of the house, but when my kids were going to a grandparent out of the house for every day childcare, then it sort of became like eating inside the house — I wanted vegetables and milk etc . . . Same thing on school lunches.  I sent something that more or less matched what we ate at home.  How often are they eating with grandparents?[/quote]

Not OP. When you see the grandparents 5x/week, it IS an every day thing.[/quote]
