...to not eat

[somewherewest]

So AIBU to respond to my parents' lovingly-prepared Annabel Karmel purees as if they're feeding me arsenic, but not to give a flying fuck about baby-led weaning either?

I'm 7mo by the way.

Of course not, although I do suggest taking the loaded spoon of them and seeing how far you can make the food fly, I still find this game fun even now I am old (2.8)

Are you giving it a go but chucking 99% of it on the floor, if so YANBU, but perfectly normal. You've got until about 10-12mths to really get the hang of it.

You might want to tell your parents that before they get worried though.

No at 7 months old anything you wish to do is perfectly reasonable!!

You need to show them who's boss. Grab the spoon and smear it all over the high chair tray and yourself, up to eyebrow level. That'll learn em.

Cut your fucking language out!

Thanks. Even I will concede that I can be a little U at times. Consistently responding to bottles as if they were medieval torture implements was perhaps a little excessive

Suggest to your mum to make something much tastier with loads of sugar in, e numbers too if possible, then wolf this down with an enormous smile.

This will make her swearing waaaay worse than yours

Learn to shout biscuit, and then yell it over and over again into your tearful parent's face every time the confront you with food. They'll love it.

I find it funny to act as if I'm being poisoned if given a bottle of milk .
Give me a chocolate button though and I'm happy .

YANBU, you will grow out of it anyway in about five months if you're anything like me.

YANBU

But you should try adding insult to injury by trying to eat a dried spider you find on the carpet.

I don't get it. I get praise for blowing perfect raspberries. I get praised for eating from a spoon. I discover mullti tasking and it's like the worship disappears.

YANBU. The way to proceed here is to reject absolutely everything until that nice lady over the road gives you the chocolate.

Oh why can't parents be like the nice lady over the road, are they all THICK??

Hi OP, I'm 7mo too! I like to pretend I really like the puree, get a big mouthful of it and then make like a crop-sprayer and blow it all over my dad just before he goes off to work.

I resorted to eating the table and vote of carpet.

Pieces of carpet, my drool glogged up the buttons

While I'm here, nipples make fanastic teething toys, no? My mother says I am being every so slightly U with that one.

I'm 2 and a half so very old compared to you.

Once you learn the words no, juice, choc choc and you can run that's when it becomes fun!

Mum doesn't understand why refusing food when I say I'm hungry is normal

Seriously, surely this woman has nothing better to do at 3am then let me gnaw on her breasts!!!??/ Has she not heard of attachment parenting FGS?

YANBU. If you really suspect poisoning then you need to keep up food refusal until at least 3.5. This is my age and I do give them a break if my 10yr old cousin is eating it. Fortunately I only see him about every 6 weeks.

Nipples are the only teething toys that squeal when you chew them. Hours of fun.

At 3am I wake up and want to watch buzz lightyear and the woman doesn't let me!

She moans about sleep but I've already slept so I don't see the problem. I think she just likes to moan at me.

My 15 year old neighbour taught me how to get it in my hair, behind my ears and in navel. That confuses my Mother!

Make sure next time you're playing outside you eat a handful of soil and then look innocently puzzled when your mother sobs.

Just to clarify, I make those kids in Save The Children adds look obese. Not sure why this stresses them?
