No my mom would never. But I might drop off organic milk since they usually drink 2%.

I guess she ran out of money when she was out on her shopping spree at Bananna Republic.Chat Icon

Um...no.

I do give who is watching them $20 in case my kids are successful at manipulating McD's or BK out of them.

If it was just my dd no I can't imagine that would happen, but if my son was going I would bring food for him. But that's only b/c I wouldn't expect the grandparents to know what ingredients he needs to avoid in his diet.

Re: If your kids stay for a weekend with grandparents

We're going to visit my parents in less than 2 weeks and my mom just wants a detailed list of what to go buy. I think it makes her happy to go buy stuff DD needs.

I have always packed food for her when she has stayed. Especially when she was young (on baby food). Both sets of grandparents would have some stuff for her but I figure why not pack it to make it easier for them. MY DD is also only 20 mos and quite picky. If she were older - say 4 and eating most adult food I wouldn't pack anything - unless they asked me to.

Oh no, please tell me you are kidding!

I do drop off food for them because my kids eat mostly organic but it's never been requested.

My parents- no way. My mother would refuse to watch them if I brought anything over. Chat Icon

My IL's- I normally buy and bring all the food over.

Re: If your kids stay for a weekend with grandparents

It hasn't happened yet, DD is only 4 months, but my il's have a can of formula at their house and I keep one at my mom's house too.

I know when my parents watch my nephew, there is always food for him. My sister may bring extra milk b/c he drinks a lot of milk, but my parents have never asked her to supply them with food for him.

My son had never been overnight, however we bring our own food for every visit & babysitting. It is my choice though.

My parent and IL's never watched her yet for a weekend, but I know they would NEVER take money or food from us.

Do you think she is being sensitive that maybe you have things you'd rather them eat? Then again she could have just ASKED you that...
