I’m getting sick of my mother and father plying my children with sweets secretly. They’ll ask to have them and I’ve set boundaries down (as they’ve turned rather bratty demanding sweets like ‘nanny’ gives) and have told them they can only have them if they give no ‘treats’ and replace with fruit, healthy alternatives. They’ve both agreed but my children have came back on numerous occasions bouncing off the walls, refusing bedtime when my five year old has stated that they are given crisps, cakes and sweets etc.

I have brought this up to them and they keep saying oh it’s only ‘one’ of something (I have found a whole pack of 6 cakes in my bin when my mum and dad had the kids for me to register baby). I am getting so pissed off with them and am considering not letting them go. They don’t seem to understand but it’s me that has to deal with them having tantrums for ‘treats’ etc. Any advice? Should I just stop them seeing them unsupervised

Can they see them in the morning then at least it won’t affect bed time?

Personally, I wouldn’t reduce contact with my kids seeing their grandparents over food. If it were a major safety issue concern or neglect then yes; over too much sugar nope!!
