January is already proving to be a weird month. At least at Costco it is. Usually, we’d round up all the best sales for the month, but after browsing through the site, we decided there was really only one thing worth calling out. Most of the deals are on cabinets (save 25 percent on semi-custom cabinets!) furniture (barstools!), and other seriously random finds.
The one thing worth writing home about? The Vitamix S30 Personal Blender.
Dear Marge,
Help! My mother-in-law is feeding my baby sweets. We don’t give our 2-year-old daughter anything with added sugar, and my mother in law knows it.
One night, after my mother-in-law had watched Becca for us (which she does twice a week while I work), I saw an empty box of animal crackers in the garbage. I didn’t say anything to her, but the following week when she came over, I pointed out the containers in the fridge with my daughter’s lunch, and casually mentioned (again) that we don’t give her any cookies or sweets. My mother-in-law just nodded as though in agreement. When I put Becca in her pajamas that night, I found chocolate stains on her sleeve. Since then, there have been a bunch of other incidents. I am 100% positive she gives her sweets every time she sees her.
I feel like she is just totally ignoring what I want for my own child. No matter how many times I say it, and no matter how nicely, she simply does what she wants. I don’t know how else to tell her. I’m really frustrated and pissed off.
Signed,
— Sugar Turf War Mom
