Preparing to be flamed by the 'I did it and my kids survived' brigade here.
DH is an awesome fun dad ..but sometimes he really lacksa bit Iif common sense imo.
We choose to parent a certain way and are happy to admit we probably give off a pfb vibe sometimes.
DD was bf for 16 months when my milk dried up for various reasons.
She enjoys warm milk in a bottle, before bed. This us somthing we are making a conscious effort to discourage now she's older (the bottle not the milk)
Came home from work to find he'd given her pure orange juice in her bottle before bed as he'd ran out of milk. I wasn't impressed and put my point across.
- we are supposed to be ditching the bottle. .no milk? no bottle!
- Hello. ..juice swishing around her teeth before bed, shes hardly enthusiastic about cleaning her teeth anyways!
- She CAN drink from open cups..sippy cups...straw cups.
no need.
- Pure orange juice? at least water it down!!!
- its a personal pet hate squash/juice in bottles.
OH thinks im being unreasonable. It transpires his mother told him to do it (no surprise. .his family give nephew cups of tea ..hes three. it disgusts me)
am I? surly he's just stupid.
