To wonder how people feed babies this revolting stuff day in day out

[moogy1a]

Had to give a mindee a jar of food today ( mum particularly wanted her to have it).
it smelt rank and I couldn't bring myself to try it.
Little one wolfed it down though so obviously used to the taste and it wasn't "off".
AIBU to think that except in emergencies babies should be fed food you would be happy to eat yourself ( or is Heinz food particularly revolting?)

Why are you trying mindees food?

Anyways. If you're horrified at baby jars, I suggest you don't look when there's a hungry teen in the vicinity

Still being a nasty, judgey bitch then Moogy?

Did you bother to read my post further up the thread about WHY my three dc were fed jars? Did you read Westie's account?

How dare you come on here and be so fucking vile! If you don't like the jars, the good for you, but judging other people's choices (and it's not always a choice, believe me) is unbelievably bitchy when you know nothing about their circumstances.

PS - do fuck off now dear.

Tatty .

Nothing wrong with having an opinion - everyone does after all - but plastering it all over a public forum, complete with identifying details is really not a good idea.

I think people sometimes don't realize that anyone could read your comments...including someone you are talking about.

Especially when you are looking after about young children and the people who are paying you to do that might read your comments.

How dare you come on here and be so fucking vile bit fucking strong considering I'm just slagging off Heinz baby food.
What a pleasant person you sound, Glad you're not one of my parents, I'd give you notice with that attitude

There's a site you may enjoy hugely op, called alpha parenting, it's for people who everyone and act as if all food is poison and are savage about almost everyone including cancer survivors who " shouldn't be allowed" to have babies because they have no breasts ergo are feeding their baby poison and should have it taken away.

I so hope this gets back to the parents!!!

Moogy

I actually AM a pleasant person! But you've started a thread that you knew damned well would upset people. Did you honestly think that everyone would just agree with you and say 'yes, it's all rank food and no one should ever feed it to their kids?'.

Have you read my earlier comments? Have you seen how upset your stupid and utterly pointless thread has made some people? Vulnerable people?

And as for giving me my notice, I would never leave any of my children in your care to begin with so that's not a worry is it?

The parents are well aware the jar was revolting. I told her and she agreed. She's often said how glad she is I provide the food all week as the kids get processed crap at home at weekends. And yes, processed crap is the phrase she uses.

Considering the responses, I'm minded to think this a wind up rather than genuine.

Of course I may be wrong, nowt so queer as folk.

You're not coming across as pleasant. I don't think my opinions on Heinz jars makes me "fucking vile" and unfit to look after children or the other hysterical comments.

Agree that "fucking vile" is ridiculous language to use about someone disliking commercial baby food.

As I said, I've seen lots of people say genuinely horrible things about their colleagues and bosses, and that's all fine and well. You're not allowed an opinion on infant nutrition though, because you're the "hired help".

How do people, in 2013, walk around using phrases like "hired help". If anything on this thread is "fucking vile" it's attitudes like that.

Errr this is too obvious a bunfight for me. I smell wind-up.

Different brands of jars taste differently. Some are nice. DS has always been partial to Hipp, and I think it tastes nice too. It's handy to have a jar in the house for when you get caught short, are out of the house, travelling or baby refuses what you have prepared.

I think you need to chill the fuck out, OP.

Do you know, as the only type I've come across is this Heinz one I expected a more measured reply along the lines of , yes Heinz is revolting but HIPP / ASDA own / Cow and gate isn't bad. Not the disgustingly nasty responses I did get.

Yes, well, by starting a thread like this and basically slagging off anyone who uses jarred food, you're not coming across as a pleasant person either.

As I said upthread, my dc were all weaned with jars and powdered food because I suffered severe pnd and was unable to cook, or even think about cooking. They are all now great little eaters, with varied tastes, who are doing well in life.

This thread has upset people, vulnerable people, but you're not taking that on board - I wonder why?

FWIW I'd rather have my childminder tell me a jar of baby food I had provided was "vile" than let my DC eat something they considered horrible and not tell me.

As for Heinz chocolate pudding, it's sold as being suitable from 4 months onwards. I pity the 4 month old who gets fed a mixture of something containing cornflour and vegetable oil...

No that was not what you said OP.
you said people shouldn't feed their children food out of jars every day.
That comment there, plus the one about how "the poor bugger" won't be able to eat "proper grown up food"

Lets not pretend it was about the brand of food.

chipped there's no need to pity my DCs.
They are all fine thank you.

FFs. Where did I slag off all people using jars. I said the Heinz was shit and wondered if anyone fed the shit Heinz to their kids every day.
I very much doubt that anyone except yourself is genuinely upset. And I recommend a chat with someone if you find such an innocuous comment upsetting.

I don't agree with some of the things that have been said but I also do not believe in your motives either. tatty you really made me laugh and stopthiscrap that's awful how could they think like that!

Erm, have you even read the other comments? There was someone almost in tears because she was worried about what she was feeding her kids because of your thread!

I'm not upset. I already said quite happily that my DCs are jars of food, they are now teenagers and eat everything in sight. I also said that if anyone wanted to judge me on that, good luck to them because I don't really mind.

you are the one that's upset

stopthiscrap I've heard of that site, and no I don't think I would like it. Aftter losing a few members of close family to breast cancer I find it an offensive suggestion.

And by the way my baby doesn't really have many jars so its your attitude that's upset me not some sense of failure, lovingly prepared failure

I'm currently weaning my son. I am exhausted, in constant pain, disabled, have no family or friends around to support me (other than my husband), am suffering terribly from post-natal depression and am not getting the home help from social services which the Court of Appeal have ordered them to provide. I have be using jars of baby food. Ideally I would like to provide lovely home-cooked food for him but despite my best efforts, I can't. This thread makes me want to cry. sad

From further upthread, OP (and not me, either) - this is what you've started. Happy now?
