Have I become an "Eat Clean Nazi"?

Over the last 5 years, other than a few brief "off-the-wagon" stints, we have been buying only healthy foods. If the kids (teenagers) want swwets and junk, I don't stop them, but they have to go to the corner store themselves to get it, and preferrably not bring it in the house. It really has become a lifestyle for us.

Last night my MIL wrote out a recipe for my 16 year old daughter to try. Skor bars, she called them. Saltine crackers, butter, brown sugar and chocolate chips. And she knowingly instructed me to make sure to buy the milk chocolate chips, the normal ones are too bitter.

I had trouble figuring out what to say. IMy sister-in-law immediately added that she bakes every Friday, and her kids love it. I got the distinct feeling that I was a bad mother for not baking sweets and treats.

I haven't given my daughter the recipe yet. I'm not sure that I can really let her make a pan of this stuff.

Are any of you there yet? How would you have responded?
