What can I do! I need help Hey everyone! So my niece is an adorable little 2,5 year old.  She is awesome and of course I love her.  Her father is massively overweight.  And her mother is like a medium ham.  My sister.   My mother is a full time baby sitter for my niece while my sister and her husband are working during the day.  I noticed that my mother is not instilling good eating habits already at such a young age. She uses food and treats as rewards and leverage.  She eats pretty low quality food.  In my opinion a girl that young still shouldn't know what McDonald's is.   But she will ask for McDonald fries randomly, already.   I have brought it up once that she is setting her grand daughter on a path to poor eating and weight problems if she continues but she just shrugged it off.   I really want to tell my mother in a way that will make her understand more...  I love my niece and I want her to be healthy and happy, something we all know fats are not.  Especially as children.
