Time to move on to the Stanley cup or a Yeti.

Doesn’t she bring a water bottle to school? Can’t she use that for water at grandma’s after school?

7 is obviously way too old for a sippy cup. I can’t even picture it, what kind does your mom have? The little ones with silicone tips and two handles? Is it plastic? I would either let it go or buy a Stanley or something for your mom to keep at her house. I try to limit the amount of stuff my kids drink out of plastic, so that would be my main concern.

Teach your kid to only drink water at Grandma's table and to clean up any spills she makes. 7 is definitely too old.

That’s a really petty thing to complain about. Seven year olds do have accident spills. I use water bottles or Starbucks cups with lids. A lot of them have sippy style straws.

People of all ages use sippy cups these days. We call them water bottles now though.

I was going to say 3. Give her a yeti or something.

Seeing how adults commonly walk around with Starbucks mugs with sippy cup lids, I'm going with, "You're never too old for a sophisticated sippy cup."

OP if you need the childcare then I think you deal with the sippy cup. It's not as if your child is incapable of drinking from another cup or anything like that. The only stand I would take is that the sippy cup is a grandma's house only thing.

I am not sure I would have an issue with it here if it was only at night in her room. I just see it as her being too old to using one all the time when at grandmas house.

Thanks, as I said in my last comment, I need to pick my battles.

Just had her last dentist apt before school. I didn't mention it to her but she did not see anything to cause concern either. And knock on wood, she has yet to have a cavity. She is good at brushing her teeth thoroughly every day. I know I need to pick my battles but I just feel she is too old for a sippy cup that's all. Grandma also needs to realize that she isn't a toddler anymore.

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts on how old is too old for a sippy cup. This will kind of be a 2 part question.

My daughter is 7 and she spends a lot of time at grandmas. She gets dropped off there by the bus after school and grandma will watch her for a few hours. While there, she has my daughter use a sippy cup because she doesn't want spills and flat out says she doesn't trust her with a cup or glass. It isn't even one of those sports bottles which I have given her to use, they are actual sippy cups. My daughter doesn't mind but, I feel she is way too old for a sippy cup.

My second question is, does anyone else's grandma spoil their kids to the point where they still see them as little kids or babies? I tell her time after time that she is 7 and doesn't use sippy cups anymore but it falls on deaf ears. My daughter has asked to have one at our house which I absolutely refused.

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts on this are.
