I’m totally feeling like a failure Mom when all of my parenting boundaries and rules just fall on deaf ears of those around me. When I said please do not feed my toddler those kind of snacks as they are contained so many artificial sweet and sodium, feel them daily might caused harm to health more than good. Please do not feed my toddler jelly candy, as might cause choking hazard. What I received like “Just one bite don’t hurt” or “I cut jelly candy to small pieces so she won’t choke”. When I said “Please don’t do it or feed my toddler”, grandpa just straight slip into her mouth and bring her to kitchen.

When I complain to my husband, what I received from him like “Just because grandparents love them, don’t be so harsh” or like he just tell my girl “Just one more bite then we are done” but did nothing just say for shake of saying it.

I know as long as we are staying together, these problems will never solved. Unless I moved out. That why I must go back to work so I can do it, but I still have to leave my kids under grandparents care while I go back to work although I don’t like (save on day care money as my husband said.

One more thing, whenever I need him help with the kids, he will likely just give to his parents although he knows that I don’t like.

Thank you for let me vent. I’m feeling furious today. Please tell me something. Am I too harsh?
