Apparently, I can't trust the IL's

My MIL is crazy with food. She is this organic food nazi and it's kinda funny. FIL and his family are the exact opposite (MIL and FIL are divorced). While I'm sitting on the couch looking like a beached whale having people molesting my stomach people were allowing Rosie to steal over 1/4 of the fudge tray AND were giving her soda! DH and I didn't see them do any of this until DH's oldest nephew told us so. So for the past 2 hours we have been dealing with a child who has never had that much sugar before in her life. I'm exhausted and she just stopped throwing a tantrum in her room. Shoot me.

Oh man, I am sorry.  I wouldn't be very excited about this either. 

MIL watches DS and we are so grateful for that, however, some of the things she allows DS to have to eat, I am not happy with.  They give DS soda.  Most of the time, it's sips here and there or really watered down, but they never consulted us about if it was ok.  DS asks for it at our house, but I have told him it's a special treat he gets only at MiMi's and Peepaw's.  They also once didn't notice he had stolen an ENTIRE plate of cookies and ate them all.  Yes, all of them!  And now, my MIL gets DS McDonald's fries on a regular basis, so he asks for them a lot.  When we pass McDonald's, he also starts to ask for them.  I don't want to cause an argument, I have nicely said several times to limit the amount of junk he gets and that we don't allow him to have soda at our house.  Ah, choose my battles, I guess.

I try to pick my battles too. However, they just straight up give kids entire cans or bottles of Coke Zero. So not only is it soda, it's full of crap. We purposefully bring our own milks and juices that we approve. Usually I'm more aware of what Rosie consumes while over there. However, being almost 40 weeks pregnant, in a tiny house, with 30 people it just wasn't happening. Ugh.

Also, having DH's Papa tell me we need to spank her and shove sugar into her mouth to teach her how to behave while sugared up is just annoying. I don't like to spank my kids.

Ya, not a fan of family members telling me how to raise my kid.  I just find it annoying when people give DS anything without asking.  It's rude.  Especially to do that on Christmas when they kids need to be going to sleep... not cool.

Well isn't that fun. Crap, now you'll have to disengage her from the ceiling. Labor dust coming your way.

Maybe it'll help you go into labor? Wishful thinking?

I hate when my parents more my
Mom and my aunts give ds1 junk. We aren't a juice family and they're always trying to give it to him. That and cookies. I don't mind if its once and a while but we see them often and that's the first thing they try to give him.

This isn't saying he never drinks juice it gets treats. He gets it at preschoolwhich I cringe over!!

I'm sorry. I know his frustrating a sugar laden kid is :. Hope that baby comes soon!

My mil does similar food things, she gives him junk to purposefully piss me off. Then she tells my kids to lie to me about it. DS1 is too young to keep secrets so I get to hear "we had donuts and cookies before lunch but grandma said not to tell you.". Then grandma says "ds1 don't fib to mama. That's not true. I'd never do that.". Love her. Does she really think I'm that stupid???

Yikes!  I wouldn't mind the food as much as I would the pop, that would really get me.  Wishing you labor dust! :)
