To be cross about weightwatchers fromage frais

[missvague]

We are staying at my MILs for the weekend with our 9 month old DS. Yesterday we went to a friends wedding and MIL plus SIL and BIL minded DS for us, which I'm grateful for. DS is going through a fussy stage with food, refusing spoon and wanting to self feed at times, which is fine, I'm giving him lots of finger food choices etc.

When we arrived at MILs we chatted about this, and I said I'll go to tesco 1st thing tomorrow to get food for him. I mentioned that yoghurt seems to be the one thing he still loves being spoonfed. She said, I have some fromage frais in the fridge, and I said that I'd rather he had full fat natural yoghurt as ff is too sweet, and that I would get some of the same one we have at home.

So we got in last night and she tells me he didn't want the yoghurt, so she gave him 2 weightwatchers fruit layered fromage frais. It's virtually fat free - no good for him; it's full of artificial sweeteners - no good for him; will encourage a taste for sweet things - no good for him (at his age); and teach him that being fussy means something else will be offered - err, no good for him.

I could get over all this as a one off, but am I being unreasonable to be annoyed, given that I expressly said not to give him them? (and trawled to horrible Saturday morning tesco to buy one that is good for him!)

It's just a yogurt, get over it.

Get a fucking grip.

Chill. Out.

This is the first of many times when you will have to get over a little thing that happens when someone else is looking after your child.

Oh for the love of God.

It really doesn't matter.

I mean, I can understand it's annoying because you asked her not to.

But she, like the rest of the planet, probably thought "it's just a yogurt".

Ahahahahaha

as a one off it isnt going to do any harm at all whatsoever so I'd try and calm down and get over it

He didn't want the yoghurt. He ate fromage frais.
You got to go to a wedding while your mil kindly looked after the baby.
What the hell is the problem?
Seriously, get a grip before mil thinks you're too hard work to ever consider doing a favour for again.
Honestly- you have a great child free day out at a wedding and the one thing on your mind afterwards is your child eating a fromage frais.... Blimey

YABU

but wait til she gets him on his own, the poor little prince lad will be fed all manner of junk food, one day he might even have a jam sandwich

My stock reply to these threads is going to be: Just be thankful she didn't give him a bottle full of Red Bull and a puff on a fag.

a whole bottle picnic?

bloody hell, he's only 9mths old

one of the small cans would fill him right up

YABU and you are being a little bit rude in the face of your MIL's hospitality and generous offer of free babysitting or a day.

You state in your post that your DC is a fussy eater, so you knew he might refuse the yoghurt, did you leave her with any alternative? Your MIL probably tried everything she had, and was more concerned about him eating something than nothing.

It's one day and 1 pot of fromage frais. I hardly think it's going to change his eating habits for life and ruin his palate.

In fairness I think I was a bit harsh. I remember this stage, I probably would have been obsessing too. With time you'll look back on this and laugh at yourself

picnic!

How embarrassing. Of course you're right .

Sorry but YABU it's just a yoghurt and if he didn't want the other one she could hardly force feed him.

I hope you haven't been off with her because she's done you a favour and it would be poor manners to make a fuss over something so insignificant.

Yabu

Give her a break and chill out.

Oops - xpost with op. :)

Yanbu to be cross, but sadly it's a sign of things to come. Think yourself lucky that yours don't have allergies, which has taken my parents two years to understand - and they still don't really 'get it'... Evidenced by my dad taking my 8 month old to a cafe and giving him crisps and a sandwich (despite his egg & dairy allergy). Oh and how about him giving my 2 yr old boiled sweets? These are things to be getting really upset about.

Umm yeah. It was a bloody fromage frais not a couple of lines of coke and a JD chaser. Get. A. Grip.

YABU - if he had refused the yogurt and she'd not given him anything instead you'd probably be moaning about that! Just accept her generosity and be glad he ate something!

If someone babysits,you have to accept they may give them food you wouldn't. He won't get a real taste for weight watchers in one day!

All they really had to do was keep him alive until you got back- job well done, I'd say
