GP looking after grandchildren

[greencycle]

Just curious.

If your 10 month old was staying with their grandparents for the night, would you expect them to loosely follow your routine when it comes to baby meal times and what they eat (you supplying the food).

Or would you let them do their own thing as they're doing you a favour?

How would you feel if you're told they'd not feed them what you bring and that they'd feed them what they have?

I think it's best to write down the food you don't want your baby eating so at least GP's know.

It would depend on why they were changing the routine. If it was because my routine didn't work for them, I wouldn't mind small changes. If they just thought, fuck it, I'm not feeding her X for the sake of it, I'd be unhappy.

If GP’s are that bad than look after your own DC. I would love to have GP’s that would and could look after my DC.

At least the GP’s are making an effort OP and buying stuff in for your baby to eat. DS’s haven’t bought a single thing and we have to take it all over when we go to visit, napping is a nightmare as my Mother expects ds to sleep on sofa in here noisy living room and then wonders why he gets upset. We also have to give his meal on or knees which isn’t ideal or take his portable highchair. They’ve never bought so much as a packet of wipes, milk or food for ds and nor would i expect them to. However if they did I certainly wouldn’t be complaining.

I trust my parents, and grandparents judgement to be honest.

I ask my granny to limit the amount of chocolate she lets my four year old has, but I don’t lose sleep over it really.

Can I just make it clear I'm not whinging. I was merely asking for advice.

Nor have I said I don't trust them. If I didn't, my child wouldn't go there

I’d expect a routine to be followed, simply because it’s the least disruptive and least likely to cause upset to the baby for their first night away from parents.

The meal thing would set me on edge tbh. They are declaring that they are specifically going to ignore your wishes. Food isn’t a big deal (unless allergies or say honey for under 1s) but it would make me wonder what else they were going to ignore.

Me and my husband are vegetarian and so will our baby be so I'd be livid if my parents gave him meat or fish, other than that I'm not bothered what they feed him tbh as long as he's fed.

They managed to keep me and my sister alive so I'm sure they're perfectly capable of making a reasonable decision without me providing step by step instructions

Only naps wise. It used to take me days to get sleeping routine back that I politely put my foot down
