... by my own family ...
for not allowing my DD to have some sweets.
Saturdays we all go to my parents for tea, and typically DD wont eat because she knows my parents will give her sweets / chocolates anyway.
So she ate nothing for tea and I told her that she could not have any sweets unless she ate her dinner. That is the rule at home - she can have two small sweets / a couple of M&Ms / some ice-cream or something like that if she eats enough dinner. Same as the CM - no crisps until all sandwich eaten, no sweet unless all dinner eaten etc.
So I refused to let her have sweets. Later she ran to my sister and asked for an ice-cream, and my sis asked if I'd said it was okay, so DD say "yes" (fibber!) and brought me the ice-cream. I told her to take it back, as she had not eaten dinner.
Dad and Mum said I was being mean and I was "never treated like that growing up".
Please tell me whether I am being an evil mother.
Later, DD ate a ham sandwich, so I let her have two sweets, but I'm wondering if I'm horrible mum.
BTW - she doesn't get sweets everyday, maybe twice a week / three times?
