My fiance's neice has really been fustrating me, how do i deal with this or her?

Question

So here's my situation. I go to college so i leave my son with my fiances aunt/tia at his grandmas house. My sister in law, her two children ages 7 & 5 and her husband live in the back house. I have my own place with my children and fiance so i have to buy snacks for my son. Lately i've been noticing my sons snacks have been disapearing fast! Well i found out that the 5 yr old was eating most of them and more then 1 a day. I just bought a box of 40 muffins on mon and their gone. Moneys very tight for me and its very annoying because its not like this child doesnt have food at her house. I told my fiance to tell her something and she said she'd stop but i caught her again taking more today. Im not a B*&#% cause i would mind if she had one of his snacks a day, its just the fact that she over eats and no one tells her anything. Personally i think its rude and unfair that i have to spend so much d**n money. What should i do?

Answer 1

Buy a lunch box,bring only enough for your son for that day.If her kids eat his snacks she will have to provide him with a equally nutritious snack.

Answer 2

told you fiance to stop her.. if not then you've to tell her on her face..

its about money.. fiance may not care about money because he is not spending money.. lol its your money.. go and tell her.. stop eating snacks now..or hide it..or write something on paper and put it on snacks. write like..." keep this away from childrens it contains alcohol" lol.

Answer 3

The only way for a child to learn a lesson is through disciplie or punishment. So you can either inform the parents of the 7 year old and ask them to tell their daughter to stop.

Or you can punish her by just letting her take the food and becoming overweight or an obsessive eater.

The choice is yours, choose wisely.

If you choose disclipline and that doesn't work don't let your son around that 7 year old

Answer 4

I think the lunch box idea is great!  That way you can pack just enough for your child, for that one day.  I used to make up snap lock bags on the weekend (mornings when your trying to get ready for work AND get a child ready too, can be VERY hectic!)  Obvioulsy you can't make up a weeks worth of sandwiches but I used to make my childrens up after they went to bed, ready for the next day.  

I would certainly say something to the Aunt though, thats really not on at all, she may not know whats been going on.  Kids can be very sneaky!  If she does just say "oh well I have decided to send only what my child needs for the day, that way you (the aunt) don't have to be the meanie telling the other children they cannot have the treats/snacks".

Hope it helps and good luck! :o)
