Mil giving food with asking!

I was feeding my boy a banana earlier and he was happy, then the MIL pulls out chocolate eclairs and straight away rips a bit off and reaches over to give it to him! She always does this! The other day she bought (sugar coated, jam filled) doughnuts ((yes I’m an unhealthy eating but trying to keep my child healthy)) She said to me, there one in there for him! He’s not even 2 yet and she thinks it’s ok to give him a whole sugary doughnut?!? Poor thing will have diabetes before he’s 3 if she continues! And even when we say something she doesn’t listen!! (Btw we live with his unfortunately) I’m getting so sick of living here! It gets me so stressed!! Anyone else struggling like this? X

Tell her if she continues to ignore your boundaries about your child she won’t have access to him again and you’ll move out

At that point I wouldn’t even have the child around her. So annoying why can’t she respect your boundaries and rules for your child!!

I would just limit the time she’s around him when he eats. Also say oh I already gave him one or something. Or like oh he already ate a lot and go grab him and distract :( Sorry it has to be like that right now hopefully you’re able to be out of there soon

I would tell her again and again and have your pediatrician sign a note she can read, seriously.

@Millie I wish I could but the only reason that I live with her is because I can’t go anywhere else, I have bad credit

@Aaammgg♥️♥️♥️ she always does it, whenever she’s eating crap she gives him some or even half!

@Lis she doesn’t follow the rules, I could have a police officer tell her off and she’d still do it! She seriously doesn’t care! She’s always TELLING me how to raise my son! For example told me to change his pram/stroller from the flat setting to sat up at 3 months old because he wants to see! This woman has no logic!

Id slap the food out of her hand until she understands.

You are your son’s advocate. It sounds like it falls into deaf ears but continue Being direct anytime she offers anything sugary and say “No Thank you, that has too much sugar” and remove your son from the situation by saying “let’s go play with the blocks or let’s go put your shoes on to go for a walk etc.

I would take it from her and keep doing it until she gets it🤣

I would lose my shit.
