MIL has bought baby an advent calendar

My MIL is lovely and helps out so much. I'm very thankful for her. She's in her 70s and had 7 children so she knows a lot about babies! She said she was offering solid to her babies at 6 weeks old though so things have changed a lot. She is always trying to offer our little girl sugary snacks and does not seem to grasp that this isn't recommended. She went out and bought a load of biscuits for her recently and I had to ask her not to give them to her. Now she has bought her a full adult advent calendar. I'm confused. I don't want to be rude but why is she obsessed with filling her grandchild with sugar 😂 anyone else got this issue?

Lol literally had the same issue last year 😅 i wont lie i ate it myself 😅xx

Just say thankyou and eat them yourself that's what we do 🤣🥰x

I'm noticing this with my mum. I was never allowed sweets or chocolates and when I got older if I didn't eat my meals I was sent to bed but with my daughter 11 months old she'll happily give her chocolates and cake and my nephews are older if they don't want their meals she'll make them something else. She says it's a grandparent thing and my grandparents were the same. Although my mum still buys her kids advent calendars we are all in our 30s if she gets my daughter one me and my husband will eat it

My boy has a milky bar advent calendar. He’ll be nearly 14 month’s by Christmas 🤷🏼‍♀️

My mum has bought my son a milk chocolate advent calender. I plan on giving him a tiny bit of each one and eating the rest of the chocolate myself 😂 x

I wouldn’t give my little boy sugar regular but I do occasionally and I’ve got him a milky bar advent Calendar he’s will be just over 1 x

Ive got my little girl an advent calendar. Shell be 13 months over decemeber. I think its just the way grand parents are, my dad literally tried to give my little girl a starburst the other day i was like are u okay she cant chew that 🤣 they just like to spoil them and i guess food is a way they think they are "treating them" x

I dont understand it either. They dont get why I wont let her have ice cream like hello???
