To not help my son look after his baby?

[SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly]

This is my first AIBU thread so go easy.

He has a baby and I refuse to help him out. He decided to have this baby so all responsibility is his in my eyes.

The baby is currently naked with only a hat on and he feeds her every 10 minutes but she drinks the whole bottle! All she does is cry and laugh.

He has asked me to look after her but I wont. He seems to think this isn't fair and shouts 'oh why?' The mother isn't on the scene either and the baby has only been with him a couple of months.

She is currently wrapped up in a car mat as he thinks this is an acceptable bed. Should I intervene now or leave baby where she is?

My son is young but he wanted the baby so I think he should look after her. He has named her Baby which I'm not sure goes down well on MN.

So AIBU or should I help out a little?

Thanks SP my project for this weekend is to teach the Furby to say I'm a creepy little fucker Then I can post it back to my mum since she bought the thing in the first evil grin

• first place

Surgery is the only option SP, that or shutting the baby in a drawer like in the olden days.

Whatsthatnoise, genius.

What is it with nannas/grandmas and giving annoying presents?! Is it pay back?

I've found the people posting thinking it was a real baby even funnier that the OP! Loving all these terrible parents I'm reading about!

Yoni - I think you should leave him to parent his own way. Hiz bubba, hiz rulez, hon.

SDT That's what I was thinking. So what if shes called baby, has only a hat and drink a bottle of milk in 5 seconds. Shes not my responsibility!

Shes asleep now so hes enjoying the peace. Might nudge her awake

My son thinks it is ok for his baby to share a pram with a dog. Is this ok?

His baby so his rules nelly

Dont be trying to intervene or take over.

To be fair, Baby is no worse a name than Thirteen - a name actually being used by the cousin of a Mumsnetter for her daughter.

Yes you are right. The dog is not too happy mind.

I put Baby in the washing machine the other day.

I forgot to shut the kitchen door. DS stood in front of the washing machine yelling "BABY!!!!!" in a horrendously traumatised voice whilst frantically yanking at the door.

Bad mother award over here please.

Randall You washed your grandchild and made him watch??

Yeah

I'm going straight to hell aren't I.

But at least the baby is clean, Randall.

It's threads like these that we need a like button

Baby Jesus has been abandoned on the sofa by DD, she is at school. Jesus has a wolf on top of him. I'm wondering if he's fed up of being the messiah and is now channelling Romulus or Remus...

My son does not have a child but he does have Lamby who is, no surprise, a lamb.

When Grandma was here for Easter she insisted on washing Lamby. We all agreed tumble drying a lamb would be a bad idea. So Lamby was set on a radiator and A Small Boy spent the afternoon playing in the hallway in front if the radiator and occasionally squeezing Lamby to check for dryness. It was a long afternoon...

Well exactly!

He'd been feeding the poor thing beef stew and dumplings and she looks no where near weaning age IMVHO.

SS need calling on you Randall

Baby hasn't had a bottle in at least half an hour. Hes too busy watching Spongebob. Is this benign neglect?

That's way too cute Tee!

tee my dd also has a lamby, its a steiff one and her most treasured posession and she wont sleep without it, it needs a wash but she is traumatised by the suggestion, i spent £40!!! On a spare after trawling the internet to find an identical one dam grandma buying a limited edition steif and she refuses to have anythinh to do with 'imposter' lamby.

Her baby is currently on the hob of the toy cooker... Do i need to call a psychologist?

Ds1 used to have a lamb too. He used to play a game with the lamb called 'Bingy' - which involved hurling the lamb upwards and backwards over his head, yelling "Bingy!!". Unfortunately he managed to hurl the lamb over the wall at the cottage we were staying in, and it landed in deep undergrowth on the other side, and despite our best efforts, was never found again. Ds1 was inconsolable. I don't think it stopped him playing Bingy, though...

Love this thread. Especially the posters accusing you of trolling.
