Grandma who eats junk?!


Question: Grandma who eats junk!?
Our household does not eat at fast food restaurants!. My 7year old son knows it's because the food is garbage!. He recently stayed with his dad and while his dad works, grandma keeps him!. Grandma (who is diabetic) also had her other two grandchildren, who are both obese and eat whatever they want!. When they announced to my son that they are going to Taco Bell my son told them he is not supposed to eat there!. I got a phone call twice this week asking if it was okay to take him to McDonalds or Taco Bell!. The first time I said no and they took him behind my back (he soaked the grease off the chicken biscuit with a napkin and ate it)!. Today I get the Taco Bell call!. I have explained to grandma that this is a lifestyle choice!. So today I got her to give him a sandwich instead, but then she took him and the other two to Taco Bell and they ate that crap in front of him!
How would you handle this situation!? Should I rip her a new one!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You would expect this Grandma to know better especially if she is diabetic!.
Its not fair that they are taking no notice of you!. You have every right to give your Son a healthy start and they should respect this!.
I would have a word with his Dad and tell him that your Son will not be able to visit if this lazy way of eating is not changed!. Your poor Son sitting there and watching others eat is hardly fair and he more than likely feels that he is being punished!.
It is so very wrong of them to act in this selfish manner, stand up for your Sons rights and his health!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you don't like her choices then you should find someone else to take care of your son!. She is set in her ways and has more than just your son to consider!. Sorry but your son is the exception because it is "your" lifestyle choice", not hers!. If it was me I would either provide lunches for everyone there or I would find someone else to care for my child!. But I would never verbally abuse her because her choices were different than mine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

try making dishes that are healthy but acceptable to people that like junk (like chicken) but put vegetables and healthy things in it that she wouldn't pick out or even recognize were thereWww@Answer-Health@Com
