Definitely talk to your husband about it and mention it to your in laws as a United front. If they want to help watch your kid, they still have to follow your parenting rules. Don’t let them say it’s just PPD making you think that way. I don’t have it, and I would be super pissed if my in laws fed my kid any sugary drinks at all (I only gave apple juice if he had constipation, otherwise only water or milk), and if he visits their house they can’t take him anywhere in the car (they don’t have a car seat anyway).

So I have PPD and just started meds last week. I'm waiting to hear back from the therapist to schedule an appointment. I confided in my MIL about it all. Ever since she has been helping more with our older child (18mo). I am thankful for the help. My problem is they never keep her on her nap schedule if they put her down for a nap at all. They also never give her milk or water. It's juice or lemonade all day. This is not the first time she has come home with diarrhea and I suspect it's from all the juice. It typically only lasts 1 diaper and she never has any other symptoms. And then today the took her to an amusement park. It was her first and they didn't even ask. I'm disappointed I missed it but don't feel like I can complain about it. I'm sure my daughter had a great time so how can I be mad about that? ... I just feel guilty that I have needed the extra help and then missing out on things like that gets me down. My husband is also disappointed he missed out on it, but I doubt he will say anything to them about it.

I'm not bothered about those kind of things but my husband is. So we made a list of 1st that only we were going to do. They are simple things going to the zoo things like that. Both our parents are happy with this and just do other things. As for the juice and naps I would just let it ride. My fondest memories were at my grandparents being spoilt and breaking mommy's "rules" it's what grandparents do 🧡
