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

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 just have a horrible feeling that you just wanted to stir things up Moogy and the sympathy you are getting is extremely misplaced

QueFonda - fair dos. I completely missed your point. This thread has wound me up (had you noticed? Grin)

It really is isnt it. I had a look at the forum the other day. There was an article about formula feeding that actually made my fingers shake.

QueFonda ups and downs, good and bad days, the usual. You know how it goes...

Never, ever, ever look.

Unless you need Rage for some reason!

Heartbrokenmum73 · 20/10/2013 20:32

Oh, God, no! I need rage like a need a chocolate teapot, as this thread has demonstrated to me and everyone else on it.

I think I need the coffee-kittens-chocolate site, me.

Anyway, another 40 or so posts and this thread is over, baby!

The thing is by the time kids get to be teens you can barely remember what they were weaned on as you're too busy dealing with 'proper' parenting issues such as how late to let them stay out, puberty, drugs etc etc. Weaning is least of your bloody problems!Grin

Heartbrokenmum73 · 20/10/2013 20:33

Ooooh, shall we just post random shite until the thread closes to further posts? Prevent any further vitriol?

Heartbrokenmum73 · 20/10/2013 20:34

Too true, Valium.

DD has just started secondary school and my biggest worry now is...boys!

HaroldLloyd · 20/10/2013 20:37

I guess, by the time I was 15 I was hanging out of my bedroom window calling my mums lovely roasts minging and wishing for chips.

I would KILL for one now.

valiumredhead · 20/10/2013 20:38

Yeah, I'm beating girls away from the front door with a stick. School work's gone down hill...

Heartbrokenmum73 · 20/10/2013 20:39

Ahhh, me and dc went over to my parents for dinner today! Twas lovely. Chicken n mash n roasts n yorkshire puds n peas n carrots n broccoli n cauliflower n gravy. Yum...

valiumredhead · 20/10/2013 20:39

quite proud he's such a girl magnet tbh Wink

Heartbrokenmum73 · 20/10/2013 20:40

DD asked me last week how old I was when I started to like boys.

Reader, I was very tempted to say I was 21!

HaroldLloyd · 20/10/2013 20:42

Mine are only wee. I have a while yet before all this malarkey!

valiumredhead · 20/10/2013 20:42

Ha ha haGrin

I refer to it as alphaarsehole

fluffyraggies · 20/10/2013 20:45

3 pretty teenage DDs here. (occasionally fed jars when babies Shock ... )

poor DH has regular chest beating sessions on the doorstep when the lads hang around the front of the house for them Grin

2tiredtocare · 20/10/2013 20:48

I just had a look at her site, it doesnt appear to be about anything but foaming about formula feeding

Heartbrokenmum73 · 20/10/2013 20:49

I'm getting a shotgun!

I feel that, as the only parent in the house, this is what I'm meant to do in absence of Dad.

It is the American way! (Too early for Muppet Christmas Carol?)
