My SIL looks after my DS, we had a great relationship up until I had DS. I think it changed because she kept tyring to tell me what do to and I wasn't doing it her way, as her advice was generally bad so I was doing things different and I think she felt it was a personal insult at her parenting choices.
We decided to let he look after DS in spit of her bad advice as it was more concerning things like early weaning, rusks in bottles, wrong car seats that type of thing and we would obviously control major things like that.
Anyway she has looked after DS for a few months now and she has been feeding him junk like pot noodles a lot, we have been told by different people and she also told herself me he loves them, but it was in a room full of family guests so I couldn't say anything without looking like a bitch. I made a note to speak to get later about it. Now the opportunity hasnt really come up due to us both being busy lately and DH does drop offs and pick ups.
She has been really argumentative with me since our friendship went a bit off track, so I know by saying that
I'm not happy about this, it will cause an almighty row.
So my question is this, do I say something and risk the row (I hate confrontation btw) or let it go for the sake of keeping the peace in the family. DH is also cross too so
he would say something, but I have a feeling she would dismiss him as she thinks men know nothing about children and it would more impact coming from me.
I have started sending food most days now but don't know if he even gets it. We paid her an extra £5 a day to feed him which makes it a bit more annoying.
DS is 14months btw.
