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!)

My MIL gave my DS sips of tea when he was about 10 months. Not something I would choose to do, but it didn't bother me, she just wanted to share something with him and he was interested in her tea. A tiny bit of something not 100% nutritious now and again makes absolutely no difference.

miss quick run away, for the love of god and the sake of the child - change your NN and ruuuuuuuuun.
It's Sunday morning. People are hungover, the kids have refused to let them lie in. We still have two weeks of the holidays left.
They.will.kill.you.

I knw you have conceded you are being daft. I knw you specifically asked her not to. I know this is your first and we are all like that with our first ( oh yes we were don't try and deny it)

They.will.kill.you.

Your poor poor child.

Blatant child abuse.

Oh dear lord!

In the nicest way possible, I just cannot understand people who do things like the OP? Overly precious.

Also giving your DS Weight Watchers food is teling ypur child he is fat and needs to go on a diet.

Encouraging eating disorders is not on. Does he ask if his bum loks big in his babygrow?

MrsDeVere some of us only have one more week to go!

How embarrassing. Of course you're right

Good form OP

MrsD

I have to say that giving a young baby a WW Fromage Frais is actually not the best thing in the world to do cause they are actually full of artificial sweeteners which none of us really should be eating let alone a young baby.

Yes Petit Filous and other kids yoghurt/fromage frais may be packed full of sugar but Id rather my baby/child had something with sugar in it than chemicals so I can actually completely understand why the OP would be annoyed!

Glad you've seen the light and realised you were being unreasonable about someone very kindly looking after your child as a favour.

I was a bit like that when DS was a baby. My ils don't get it either. They are used to weaning babies on biscuits in milk, or bread in sugary tea. Impossible to buy decent yoghurt there, so sugary, I asked SIL (on her way to shops) to buy plain yoghurts and she came back with 0% sugar aspartame shit. Yes I cringed while he was eating it, yes I now look back from the perspective of the grip I now have and realise it doesn't matter at all as a one off.

Well no one's even noticed my post about cat shit... Huffs....

Gosh your post about cat shit is shocking .
(Actually it really is I bet you were less than pleased)

He's 9 months old!! It's not telling him anything!!

I was like this with my first born. Now I have learned that whenever relatives look after the dcs, they will eat unsuitable food. Consequently, if I don't want them to have unsuitable food, they don't go to the relatives.

Oh my fucking god, you are kidding right?!

The cheeky cow giving your child a yogurt!!

She needs burning at the stake! Bet she also gave him a cig and a couple of vodka shots!

It starts with yogurt but it gets worse if you allow it!

Seriously? Just seriously? I'm lost for words.

Ah, glad you have realised OP - dont feel too embarrassed, everyone has these moments!

FWIW from what I have seen of my parents so far (eg. my dad actually being disgruntled that my 12 month old is not that keen on ice cream!), in the future I am fully expecting DS to return from his GPs off his head on sugar! Doesnt really matter in the grand scheme does it?!
