Am I allowed to be slightly annoyed

Not only the sugar content but so worried about choking with a lolly and haribo 😞

I wouldn't be annoyed personally. My kids eat haribo and sucker's as a treat here and there. Especially when we go to the bank, they always get a sucker from the bank ladies. If it's just a treat because it was a fun outing with mil. I wouldn't be mad

I would be annoyed. A 2 years old don't need so much sugar. That's a rule all our family know about so I would be pissed if they don't respect it. Did you tell her your rules for food ?

It’s excessive. I can understand why you’re not thrilled but for me it’s not the end of the world. Grandparents like to treat their grandkids maybe she just got a bit carried away. I guess at least she wasn’t sneaky about it so you’re able to address it if you want to. I’d say something about the lolly/ haribo because of the choking hazard for a 2 yr old. I think it’s ok to say something about the sugar generally if you’re bothered but I wouldn’t go in all guns blazing as she didn’t have bad intentions and your son hasn’t been hurt. If he usually has a healthy diet with you a few treats will balance out.

Idk I guess I'm the weird one but I wouldn't be annoyed. This is one of those typical grandparent things. I remember the treats I was allowed at my grandparents' houses and not my own as a child and those are actually really special memories to me. My own daughter also has no grandparents involved (see them on holidays only) so I feel bad she's missing out on that part of life. If it was every time that's different, but every once in a while I think it's a good thing and allows for making memories for both grandparent and grandchild.

I wouldnt be mad but I would kindly let her know that maybe that was too much sugar and how the kid isn’t use to that. That maybe next time maybe stick to only one treat

That's so much sugar. I'd tell her to please not do that again next time, limit how many treats

Like I’m upset about the amount of sugar on my already very hyper child. But my main issue is the choking hazard, a lolly is a major choking hazard especially once I heard he was walking home with it in his mouth and eating gummy sweets walking around, it’s just not safe.

I'd definitely be annoyed. My daughter is 3.5 years old, and I still haven't given her a lollypop. Why couldn't they just stop at the 3 biscuits or even couple biscuits and Ice cream is enough as a little treat. I'd definitely say something or ask your partner to

I would just have a conversation but wouldn’t be mad. My grandma is similar and she just didn’t think about the hazard or sugar amounts. Before my kids the youngest are 9-10 so those considerations were so far removed from her brain

Tell her one treat per meal. That’s an insane amount of sugar for a 2 hour period.. for a toddler

Did she realise the choking hazard? My parents and in laws didn’t even realise a lot of the new ‘rules’ which is understandable as they last had kids decades ago. They probably didn’t even think of the sugar either and just saw it as a nice treat with grandma. I wouldn’t be annoyed, and would just mention it for next time.

The lolly pop would bother me as at that age it's a huge choking risk. The haribo I'm on the fence about as my daughter managed gummy sweets at that age but she only ever had the mini packets. Maybe just ask that if they are going to treat them then stick to one or two treats max and it be in the safe zone.

The lollipop would annoy me, especially if it was a round one! I don’t let my nearly 4 year old have them as they’re a major risk. He’s had haribos from 2 though, no problems as long as he’s sat down. The amount wouldn’t bother me, she’s just wanted to have fun with her grandchild and as long as it doesn’t happen often, it wouldn’t bother me x but a lollipop absolutely ridiculous! D

I would be absolutely furious. That’s way too much sugar.

I’d absolutely be annoyed and kindly tell her, “Next time you are spending time with Jillian, can you please let me know what she’ll be eating beforehand or make sure it’s age appropriate? We do our best to limit sugar and processed food.” My 2 year old literally thinks that granola bars are cookies and raisins are fruit snacks so if someone screwed that up for us, I’d probably get in my feels. My MIL should know better at this point anyway.

I would he annoyed if my MiL did this. But I would he sensitive handling it. Lollipops and haribo are not suitable for a 2 yr old

2 years old that’s way too much sugar x

Did you tell her what to not give him ?

I feel like grandparents think they should spoil their grandkids and so I let them. The kids will have fun memories and then I just get them back on track at home :)

I would be mad for sure

I don’t even let my 7 year old have lollipops due to the choking risk

It’s a kid. It’s a few sweet things.

I’d be livid sorry 😩

Different people have different way of thinking. My sister gives to her 1.5 year old lolipop, ice cream, cake, sugary drinks, candies, chocolate. I mentioned to her, don’t you think that’s a bit too much sugar? Even I as an adults don’t consume this much. She has not problem with that and continues. If you don’t want your child to consume sugar, before leaving him with other people want them that you don’t want the child to have any sugar. What you think it’s obvious and common sense, it might not be the same for others.
