Do any of you with little ones have this problem? Each get together with family my husband and I are guard the entire time telling people not to spoon food our son our share drinks with him. We have tried over and over again, but still some of the Grandmas don't get it. They say "Ohh but I"m his Grandma....I can do it"...Nooooo....We wash hands, wipe down shopping carts, avoid sick people. It just seems silly to me to all this work then take him out to a family get together and have people feed him with their forks.

Very frustrated.

My family calls me the "FOOD NAZI"...nice huh??!! lol....i dont care, as long as they leave my daughter alone!! (my daughter has peanut allergies also, so i have made it clear that no one feeds my child unless its me or i ask them to. my grandma was the hardest to convince...she tried that "im her great grandma..i can do it" stuff too. so i told her that a grandmother is supposed to care about the best interests of her grandchild and not what makes her feel good. (that pretty much was the end of that). its terrible, but sometimes you just have to LAY DOWN THE LAW!!! they will eventually get sick of hearing you nag and follow the rules (at least if you nag as good as i do, lol). Good luck!!!

I don't have the food issue, but Mariah's grandparents are so selfish! They continue to smoke in their homes and I just told them we won't come over until they quit smoking in the house. I hate it because I love spending time with them and I want us to spend Christmas together but it is just what I have to do for Mariah. And if that means staying at home then that is what we will do.

My DD's Grandma gets that, but she always wants to feed DD something without giving her enzymes. It's hard enough getting her to take her enzymes in the first place, but to try and give her them after Grandma has already handed her a cookie is a joke.

We also have a hard time with cousins her age getting to roam the house with their sippy cups...ugh. And previous to that pacifiers...my DD only put her cousins pacifier in her mouth once...poor baby I freaked and scared her. Her cousin is two now and still walks around with one.

Its so frustrating when well-meaning, nice people constantly do the wrong things.
