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?)

I haven't read through all posts but haven't seen anything resembling bullying.

Nor have I seen an apology from the OP about the disgraceful and rude language she used about her client and her client' child.

Bullying...well it was bound to be brought up at some point, along with 'I've had pm's expressing their disgust etc etc'

You inferred that some of our children weren't safe with us
wtf are you on about??
I was the one told I shouldn't be looking after children ( because I like to give them decent food)

'I worry for children being looked after by bullies'

ooh this is kicking of just as the op intended nicely

I think bullying often pops up on contentious thread where there is strong disagreement.

I've been on a thread were there was some outrageously nasty bullying targeted at a poster who was obviously vulnerable and distressed. IIRC a number of people reported that bully and then they were banned and the thread deleted.

If anyone feels strongly that bullying is going on then they really should report it.

disgraceful and rude language she used about her client and her client' child.
you really do see stuff that isn't there, don't you.
Tell you what, give an opinion once you've read the posts calling me fucking vile etc.

*where, not were.

I was the one told I shouldn't be looking after children ( because I like to give them decent food)

you know full well this is not why posters expressed concern about your career choice.

FWIW I think some posts (by no means all) have gone too far - it doesn't deflect the fact that for me, the original post was completely out of order not because if its sentiments but how those sentiments were expressed.

As someone said several pages back, you don't come across as a terribly nice person moogy. I am sure you are, but one could be forgiven for thinking the opposite based on this thread.

Here's the craic.

You have basically said that people who use jars and pouches are feeding their children processed "shite" in the same league as Asda smart price food and pot noodles.

You have gave no evidence of this.

People got upset but you refuse to acknowledge that your ignorance and quick-to-judge attitude has caused that.

Now we are bullies.

No, this ISN'T about food even though you think it is OP, it is your reluctance to see another person's point of view and why they might prefer to use jars and the fact you are sneering about one of your mindee's mum's choices and plastering it all over the internet when you even have your real name up on here, apparently.

Bullying...well it was bound to be brought up at some point, along with 'I've had pm's expressing their disgust etc etc'

Well yes, indeed. Seems like the standard formula is being followed for goady threads of this kind.

Nothing to say about that direct quote from you Moogy?

What are the flaws in the research, Brian?

No, I'm not coming across as a very nice person anymore on this thread because a load of nasty bullying harridans have picked apart every aspect of my working life and said I'm a shit childcarer and the children are suffering some sort of abuse by being with me.
I've been called vile, that I'm putting people with MH issues at risk of suicide, that I support the view that women who've had mastectomies fail as a parent as they can't breastfeed.
So yes, I'm now very arsey and defensive. I challenge any of you lot not to be the same about my opinion on a jar of fucking baby food.

Probably the wrong use of words there on my part headsdown. The research is probably just fine for its purpose. But it doesn't back up the ops argument.

Oh so now we've done this to you! I'm asking you for answers and explainations for things you've said, or are you being held hostage by the keyboard

OP you are slippery i'll give you that, in a way im quite impressed

oh so now the sob story ....

Again, it's NOT about the baby food and you know it

I've posted lots of links to credible research. If you can't be arsed to read them or you ignore them ( or maybe simply don't understand them) then that's up to you.

It's not a fucking sob story. I'm pointing out why I'm now very arsey.

She's not getting bullied FFS.

Bullying would be me storing her name and following her thread from thread being horrible to her, based on this one thread.

If OP started I thread tomorrow saying something I agreed with I would be agreeing with her.

I dislike it when bullying is used when its just a matter of lots of people disagreeing with you.

You can't just state "factoids" that people are not going to agree with and then complain when a LOT of people don't agree.

Sigh, they're not "factoids" they are links to things such as BMJ articles. But you know, what do they know.
