ChippieBeanAndHorro:

So what if she feeds her baby food that her baby will eat, which includes, at least this once, fish fingers and some chips? It really, really isn't awful.

I suppose your friend's punishment for her sharenting on FB is having her child's diet publicly dissected on MN.

Me?

ChippieBeanAndHorro · 12/03/2017 19:16

trifle

it seems awful to me.

3 different kinds of junkfood for a baby? I mean... why? it seems so so wrong.

I wouldn't eat it. So DD surely won't get it either. Especially not at that age.

IvyLeagueUnderTheSea · 12/03/2017 19:17

Sorry, Trifle, that didn't come across in type as it sounded in my head. And I forgot a big Grin after it.

Trifleorbust · 12/03/2017 19:17

ChippieBeanAndHorro:

If that is all the baby ever eats, it's not great. As an occasional thing, meh. Babies and children have grown up on worse diets for thousands of years.

Trifleorbust · 12/03/2017 19:18

IvyLeagueUnderTheSea: Ah, I see Grin

Sparklingbrook · 12/03/2017 19:19

I don't understand the purpose of the thread TBH. And posting people's FB pictures on here is bizarre. Who cares what other people's children eat?

Leggit · 12/03/2017 19:19

I'm still trying to wrap my head around what YOU have done here OP Angry

KitKat1985 · 12/03/2017 19:20

Yes that seems a lot to me for an 11 month old. The meal itself isn't great, but as a one-off would be okay. If this is a typical type of meal for the 11 month old though then that's not so great.

ChippieBeanAndHorro · 12/03/2017 19:21

Trifle

But with 11 months old?

That child has enough time to demand junkfood when they're older. No reason to start this early.

sparkling maybe the OP is actually the one that posted it on facebook and is feeding this to their child? And just doesn't want to admit it? Who knows... ;)

Sparklingbrook · 12/03/2017 19:23

oooh like a reverse fish finger thread Chippie? Grin

Trifleorbust · 12/03/2017 19:24

ChippieBeanAndHorro: I don't disagree with you, I just don't think it's the end of the world.

GrumpyOldBag · 12/03/2017 19:24

I think we're allowed to be the "food police" and comment negatively on the meal.

There's a photo, its AIBU ...

it's not someone posting a picture of the lovely birthday cake they've made. or whatever.

Witchend · 12/03/2017 19:25

I'm sure that's one of the Ninja Turtles in the corner of the plate.

It is more than I'd eat, or either dd1 or dd2 (16, 13yo) and I suspect more than ds (9yo) would eat.

However I remember going to a restaurant when dd1 was about 11 months old and finding they didn't have a children's menu. Was wondering what to get her as it was all quite adult food, and the chef came out and offered fish fingers, chips and peas as he had someone running down the road to the supermarket for something else he'd run out of.
When the plate came there were 6 fish fingers, and an adult size portion of chips and a whole bowl full of peas. She didn't eat it all, but it was given to her. What's more they refused to take any money for it.
We joked that if we'd known how much they'd give her me and dh wouldn't have bothered ordering anything.

Trifleorbust · 12/03/2017 19:27

GrumpyOldBag: I don't disagree in principle with people having a view (it's AIBU) but some of the views themselves are bizarrely censorious.

IvyLeagueUnderTheSea · 12/03/2017 19:28

If the op had posted 'this is what my friend feeds her 11 month old on a daily basis, AIBU to think this is too much' then this thread would make more sense.

ChippieBeanAndHorro · 12/03/2017 19:30

trifle

not the end of the world. But I just have a hard time wraping my head around it. I don't think it's ok, tbh... I think it's really bad.

And giving a child "bad food" is really well... "bad".

ChippieBeanAndHorro · 12/03/2017 19:30

It may sound silly. But it's quite horrifying imo.

Reow · 12/03/2017 19:30

Processed shite. I wouldn't feed any of that to a child aside from the peas

Trifleorbust · 12/03/2017 19:31

ChippieBeanAndHorro: No, it isn't. In moderation it is fine.

MsStricty · 12/03/2017 19:32

OP, if the person's privacy settings are set to non-public on Facebook, then you are in breach of Internet regulations.

skerrywind · 12/03/2017 19:34

Gross food

IvyLeagueUnderTheSea · 12/03/2017 19:34

Watch out for those Internet police op........

Are there 'internet regulations'?

ChippieBeanAndHorro · 12/03/2017 19:35

Processed shite. I wouldn't feed any of that to a child aside from the peas

I'm very glad somebody else is saying it...

trifle No, it's not! Moderation would be chips or fishfingers or the other yellow food! (the creepy grinning thing)
