If your GD shamed you by her sensible eating, what makes you think she'll want to eat the 'goodies' you've bought?

Are her parents aware of what she eats when she’s with you? I think most would be horrified by that list. You don’t want her to get diabetes or bad teeth do you?

OH and I chatted about needing to do more to protect ourselves from the dreaded diabetes (blood tests shouted warning) and then promptly added chocolate biscuits, full sugar lemonade, ice cream, giant marshmallows to our shopping basket. In total honesty they were bought, along with other goodies, for our 12 year old granddaughter who is coming to stay for the week. I am shocked at pushing unhealthy food onto her as a treat! We don’t eat like that ourselves for obvious reasons so why think the poor child should? When she last came to stay she shamed us by her sensible eating, I ought to take note, but I can’t not have a few naughtiest in the cupboard to offer. Ridiculous isn’t it!
