You may have seen me pop up on here before with in law problems, but it's just one thing after another and nothing changes. Not sure how much more I can take.
Since my daughter was about 2 months old my mil kept asking me if I'd given her chocolate yet, just a bit to suck on as shed love it and she explained how her 2 kids did and it does no harm. Obviously I wouldn't give my 2 month old chocolate and I explained that we are a way off from giving her chocolate yet. But every week we see her she brings up, every week with out fail. Saying to my daughter, mommy won't let you have chocolate, you'd love a suck on a bit it won't harm etc...when you come to nannys house without mommy nanny will give you some, I've got a whole box of buttons ready ( which she has). My partners family are huge junk food eaters, not the healthiest of people. My partner told his mum that she's not to have chocolate but she still keeps going on about it.
So on Christmas Day at my house, she sat there with my SIL and said to me, next time my daughter goes to her house shes giving her chocolate, just a bit. I said no, shes only 4 months old. She replied 'yes I am'...and I said no you're not, then she smiled and walked away. Partner said nothing to her. I feel so undermined by her, who does she think she is? Is it me? If I was a crazy mom and didn't want my daughter eating sweets until she was 5, that's still MY decision that she should respect right, or am I being silly?
Well we are due to go to hers today, she'll be with her daughter again, my SIL and no doubt will want to show her 'power', and I reckon she will try and give my daughter some chocolate. How should I handle it? My gut feeling is to get my daughter and leave.
