My MIL has always thought I\u2019m &#8216;too controlling&#8217; when it comes to food,&#8221; she writes. &#8220;She thinks I\u2019m just being dramatic, like I\u2019m depriving her grandson or something. I brushed off the comments at first.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But recently, when she left her son with the woman, she came back to find him with &#8220;chocolate cake smeared on his face.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From the post: &#8220;I froze. I asked him where he got it and he said &#8216;Grandma gave it to me.&#8217; I. Lost. It. I asked her why she\u2019d do that when she knows he\u2019s not allowed. And she literally rolled her eyes and said, &#8216;It\u2019s just one slice. He\u2019s a kid. Let him live a little.&#8217; Then she added, &#8216;You\u2019re not his doctor, stop acting like one.&#8217; I said, &#8216;I don\u2019t have to be his doctor to follow basic health advice. You\u2019re putting his progress at risk just because you think you know better.&#8217; &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/people-news-daily-newsletter-sign-up-8692701\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\u00a0PEOPLE&#039;s free daily newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">\u00a0PEOPLE&#8217;s free daily newsletter<\/a>\u00a0to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/p>\n<p>Other Reddit users say they don&#8217;t blame the woman for getting angry.<\/p>\n<p>Writes one: &#8220;This wasn\u2019t a misunderstanding, she knew the rules, waited for you to leave, and then smirked when you caught her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read the original article on <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/mother-in-law-feeding-child-cake-despite-his-food-intolerances-11773558\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:People;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">People<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEED TO KNOW A woman says her mother-in-law has been feeding her son sweet treats despite his food&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29180,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[24746,24743,24742,97,24747,269,24744,24745],"class_list":{"0":"post-29179","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-chocolate-cake","9":"tag-doctor-visits","10":"tag-food-intolerances","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-mother-in-law","13":"tag-nutrition","14":"tag-refined-sugar","15":"tag-strict-diet"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29179\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
