I'm not that naive to think that she will never have this stuff. I'd rather start her off trying to instill it in her that certain items are treats and not to be used in excess. 3-4 lbs of candy is excess. If he would have gotten her a small chocolate bunny or a box of peeps I wouldn't have that level of frustration with him.

fwiw, I read it that your wife's father is compensating, not that you were not being good to your daughter.
I also didn't get that he gave her 3-4 lbs of candy. That is excessive. I know we would have a talk with my parents if that were the case. No idea how you can make him understand that a little candy is okay, but a lot is not.
