Because I'm too busy fending off diet soda, ice cream, chips, whole cherries, whole hot dogs, and pie for my 18 month old. And my 2 month is probably bored with my breastmilk...she looks like she wants some potato salad!
Grrrr! My MIL will never listen so I think she should only babysit after meal time!

@swurlygurl: Yeah, she saw me pitting them and she rolled her eyes...just tell her to spit it out or swallow it!

@autumnlove: Oh my goodness... I would have lost it. I know I don't have an 18 month old, but pretty sure they can't be trusted to spit it out!

Wow! That is craziness!
We have to do some monitoring of food at the IL's but not that bad!
We just have to make sure that if they do get dessert it's not a slice the size of their head and something a lot smaller.

Oyyy...this is why I am dreading visiting MIL with LO. We are putting it off until next summer when she'll be a year and a half but then we'll have to deal with all their toxic food. This is a woman who fed my tiny dog Italian sausage after I said, in no uncertain terms, 'no!'

@swedishfish: Sometimes he tells me to relax and sometimes he supports me! He was upset yesterday and reminded her of choking hazards but she told him that she never cut anything and he is just fine!

@autumnlove: Gahhhh so annoying! What is it with in laws and parents pulling the "well I did x and you turned out fine!" Well I was obviously very lucky then!

@autumnlove: my 11 week old LOVES potato salad! I let him eat it by himself with a pointy fork and a sharp knife. And then he washes it down with a soda! 
OMG, what a crazy lady your MIL is!

Duh, you should totally put potato salad in your 2 month old's bottle to help her sleep at night
Hugs! Hoping you can keep your cool and that she doesn't slip your babies any crap!

@grizz: I can only keep my cool for so long! Then I snap and then she starts talking to me through the baby....
"LO, tell mommy how much you love sweets!"
I have to work on staying calm!

@autumnlove: aaaah! Talking to me through the baby drives me crazy!! "LO, tell grandma how much you are enjoying your healthy body that isn't drowning in sugar." "LO, tell grandma how much you love an unobstructed windpipe."
Gal, between this and Grizz's post I am so not excited about MIL visit next week
