AIBU in thinking that people that pour tea into their baby's bottle...

ARE CHAVS?

I've just seen a woman in the park pour a cup of tea into her baby's bottle, add milk and then give it to her baby. Is this some sort of chavy behaviour or do normal people do this?

AIBU in thinking WTF

Chav means what it means though Hilly. What else could it mean?

Tea should not be given to babies. Nothing should go into bottles but milk.

YANBU.

DD used to have tea from 18 months, I thought it would help wean her off the bacardi breezers.

I didnt get chamomile I got typhoo. I am prone to the odd violent outburst.

And it will make your baby go into a really deep sleep so you can go to the pub without a babysitter. Especially if you add a drop of nightnurse and voddy.

My Mother used to give us all tea to drink from about a year onwards. The word chav was not in common use back then. So far none of her children has been violent or lived in social housing and we are normal. Don't be so silly OP.

I grew up on a council estate and was told during my first year of uni that 'I didn't look like I was from a council estate'

I should have asked what they did expect ..

Its got sod all to do with sugar, the caffeine in tea blocks iron intake and iron deficiency is incredibly prevelant in all classes of children in this country so yanbu to think "idiot".

YABU to ask Chav or normal.

Oh and a chavvy is actually a gypsy child originally so unless the mother was about 8 and Romany then no, she wasn't a Chav.

Council House and Violent? You could tell she was violent from the way she gave her child a bottle, fucking hell OP you should work for the police, violent crime would plummet.

Did your mother give you tea as an infant Anewstart?

Only Hooray Henrys use the word chav. I gave both my dds tea in bottles/sippy cups from about 15 months onwards, they're both still alive and well. I don't smoke either, although I did push a pram.

I saw someone give Pepsi in a bottle once.

Lady Grey or Mantunna?

Well I can't see why someone would give a caffeinated drink to a child but I can't say it would bother me to see as much as it does when I see young children drinking coke but that's my personal judgy pants moment

I hate seeing tea in bottles. I know why, it's because of where I grew up. I'm the daughter of a (now ex of course) miner, grew up on a sinkhole estate in a mining village.

I'd see toddlers wandering around the street in their dirty clothes with their dirty face and a bulging dirty nappy - gulping from a bottle of tea.

I hate it. It reminds me of everything I hated about that life. Listening to women getting beaten up, listening to people staggering home from the pub and fighting, listening to people chatting away how that fuckin doin pal aint seen y fer fuckin ages shall we guh t fuckin pub then? seeing children being called little fuckers and little bastards so much they must have thought that was their name, watching kids get knocked off their feet by their parent and all the time, in the background, that damned bloody 'bockle o' tea'

I hate hate hate hate hate it.

So long as it's Earl Grey

If so then the entire population of Japan are, as you put it, chavs. My Japanese SIL and all her family, friends, vague acquaintances etc give kids tea.

They all seem OK.

Only Hooray Henrys use the word chav.

Oh, the irony.

Or Lapsang

You can't say hooray henry on MN , you can say chav though

One of my earliest memories is of drinking tea out my Grandmother's special dainty china and feeling very grown up. It felt as I was joining a special club. I am a total tea addict now though, at least 20 cups a day and strong brown tea that can dissolve a spoon.

Oh yes I can usual

HOORAY HENRY!

See, I shouted it.
