Help is my grandmotheroverstepping ?

Question

So I’m a single mom so my grandmother watches my daughter while I’m at work. I need to know if I have the right to feel so betrayed by this or not. My little girl is 1 year and 5 months. She is a picky eater I am as well I try to give her a variety of things she just don’t want them she would much rather just snack all day my grandmother is giving her vitamins (without me knowing) I picked her up and was getting a drink out of her fridge and saw that she had the premade Emfamil Nero pro in the fridge so she has also been giving that to her ( without telling me) she tells me all the time she’s not eating enough but I feel like she eats enough her weight gain is perfectly fine she’s perfectly healthy she’s just picky and my grandmother doesn’t like that.

Answer

Did you explicitly tell her not to give her vitamins? If she’s providing free childcare and doing most of the mealtimes with your child it sounds like she was just trying to make the best decision for the child.

Answer

I wouldn’t feel betrayed, specially if shes snacking all day I would also think like your gma that she’s just not getting enough. I doubt she did it out of evil, if anything she’s just concerned for the baby. At the end of the day she does care for her most of the day, she still shouldve told you though but I wouldn’t be that upset considering she’s just concerned for the baby getting enough to eat.

Answer

It's better for her.. it won't harm her at all.. but going forward.. have a discussion on these things.

Answer

It's not hurting her to have a little formula, especially if she's not a great eater. Of course if you feel very strongly about it tell your grandmother to stop.

Answer

I would be upset. She can’t do something like that without discussing it first.

Answer

I don’t know if I’d be mad about it but I’d be upset that she didn’t tell me. Is your daughter following the growth curve?

Answer

It's understandable to feel betrayed if your grandmother is giving your daughter things without your knowledge or consent. It's important to have open communication with your grandmother about what your daughter is eating and what you are comfortable with. You can also talk to your pediatrician about your daughter's eating habits and get their advice on what is best for her. Ultimately, as the parent, you have the final say in what your child eats.
