A random girl keeps buying things for my daughter and its weird?

Question

We moved to this town 6 months ago, with only one shop. Ok so there is a girl who works there, about 18 I'd say. She for some reason singles out my child (2.5 year old daughter) including buying her lollies or toys or giving her things and it is just weird. I dont want to be rude, but she comes up and asks my daughter "do you want this" and then I say "oh no really please dont buy it for her" and she does anyway.... Its getting annoying, she buys my child chocolates or lollies or toys and I dont WANT my child to eat a huge chocolate. What do I do? I am so scared to offend her

Answer 1

Okay, I think Tell em like it is might be on to something. Maybe there's a reason for it. Try talking to the girl. Get to know her. Strike up a conversation where you casually let it drop that her doctor is making you cut a lot of the sugar out of her diet.  

If it's the only shop in your small town, then you'll have to see her a lot, so why offend? It'll just make things uncomfortable.

Answer 2

tell her to stop... its your child

Answer 3

Is it possible to leave the baby behind? Or is the shop to far for you to leave her by herself?

Answer 4

Just hope that she's doing it with other children too (when you're not around) because IF she's only doing that with your child, THAT is weird, I'd stop going into the store ..

There are weird people out there, and you don't want some weird lady (or man!) taking 'special interest' in your child; and singling them out.

Offend her if you have to, then maybe she won't be so quick to give your kid chocolate.

Answer 5

shes just being nice but i dont like my child eating to much chocolate either so when people offer her some i say she cant have it just tell her no lollies

Answer 6

Just tell her what you think! She is going to rot your babies teeth!

Answer 7

I went through that but with my nieghbor he is this old guy who sit out n talks to my hubby for hours and he buys the kids stuff like candy toys etc.... i finally was weirded out enough and told him thank you so much for all these nice things but i dont want the kids to have to many things. so please before you offer it to them can you run it buy me first cause it spoils there dinner! on the other hand maybe she think you daughter is cute who knows she may remind her of someone she knows or maybe she had a rough childhood and she herself in your lil one dont get to worked up!

Answer 8

dont't worry about offending her !! Your childs teeth are more important then some strange ladies feelings

Answer 9

I would venture to say that the "weird" girl has an autistic spectrum disorder and is lacking in social skills.  She sounds fairly innocuous and just doesn't know how to befriend very well.  I would not have her babysit or anything, but instead of telling her not to buy her junk I would tell her if she wants to buy her something that you are ok with her having like animal crackers, or goldfish and that she really loves those.  Keep in mind that if she is autistic, they generally don't pick up on subtlety

Answer 10

well lets think about this your her mother you are allowed to tell people not to give your child things and you don't know this girl I hate to say this but our world sucks now days you cant trust anyone she maybe trying to be nice and all or she just might be crazy anyways its your child if you have any concerns it might be someones way of warning you.
