Not fighting this battle IS winning the long game


Your worrying too much about her worrying too much is the grandparent's version of the same problem. Part of that is your acceptance that there is more than one "right" way to do things. Another part is your not remembering how scary it is in the early goings of having your first child and, frankly, have no concept of a Mom's fears of the same.

Let it go, save your powder for if or when it does become a real problem. Putting a kid on a scale is not a real problem, and unless there have been other helicoptering issues, you don't know that this is a habit.
