This Mom Cut Off Her Kids' Visits to Grandma Over Secret Fast Food Meals — & Reddit Is Divided

This mom has Reddit divided on if she's setting healthy boundaries or being too controlling.

In the post, the mom wrote, “I am very peculiar about the children eating fast food like McDonalds and KFC.” Although they have had fast food on occasion, the mom prefers that “they don’t know McDonalds even exists.” Apparently, her MIL didn’t agree and “rolled her eyes the first time I mentioned this and asked her to not order it.”

Apparently, that was also a lie. The next weekend, “the kids ate a ton of snacks, drank only sugar drinks and stayed up till 12 a.m. That includes the 4yo. I tried to talk to my MIL again and told her we can make compromises but she needs to be willing to work with me.” Reddit was divided, for one thing because the mom was getting free weekend babysitting — every weekend. Sounds like the dream right? But the mom clarified in her post, writing: “For everyone saying stfu if you want a babysitter for the weekend, well, I can watch my kids and I can call a babysitter. I won’t screw with what I stand for because I want someone to take my kids for a day or two.”
