to think that giving a 5.5 month old McDonalds is verging on abuse?

[Partyfops]

So a friend of mine has just posted on FB about their not yet 6 month old baby eating her first McDonalds!! FFS!!!!

This is utterly vile right???

[Djnoun]

Bit insulting for those of us who actually were abused to compare it to sucking on a cold chip.

[cittigirl]

Not the best food for a almost 6 mth old but hardly crack cocaine. Chill!

[Busyworkingbee]

It's really not abuse though! It doesn't bother me how other people bring up their own kids. Aslong as they are warm, fed and loved.

[ladyvimes]

To be fair it might have been a suck on a chip or a lick of milkshake. I hardly think a 5 month old is gonna manage a Big Mac and fries!

[AudaciousCockerel]

Bloody hell, get a grip. If you think that’s abusive then you need to pull your head out of your arse and have a think about all the utterly horrendous things that ACTUALLY constitute abuse.

[Grimbles]

FFS...

[PerryPerryThePlatypus]

Not the best thing but hardly abusive. I'd probably roll my eyes and keep scrolling.

[Blackoutblinds]

No that is not abuse.

[FissionChips]

Fish fingers and cucumber sticks most likely. Yabu.

[Butterymuffin]

Abuse is a strong word. But I agree it's a) bloody stupid and b) poor parenting.

[Partyfops]

The child had its own happy meal and was chomping on a chicken nugget!

[Celebelly]

I hardly think a few chips and maybe a bite of a burger is abuse. I'd be surprised if she ate more than a bit of a french fry at that age.

Just because it's not something you would do doesn't make it abusive (and I think there are plenty of people who would happily have taken this kind of 'abuse' v the horrific stuff that happened to them as a child).

[JacquesHammer]

No. Not abuse.

Crass comparison.

[SemperIdem]

I think it’s a bit shit to feed such a young baby that. But it isn’t abuse, no.

[Boredboredboredboredbored]

Ffs get a grip

[Caprisunorange]

It’s not that bad. Tbh if a baby is eating chicken nuggets at 5.5 months it’s pretty advanced. Most are gumming on a breadstick until it dissolved at that age

[Cornettoninja]

It’s not something most people who make a Kodak moment but abuse? No. No it isn’t.

[Redglitter]

Neither vile or abuse really.

As pp said it's more likely she's had a suck of a chip or something rather than sitting down to a happy meal.

[Busyworkingbee]

Still not abuse! The child is probably well loved. Why do some parents judge others so much!
If she was getting hammered and smoking around the child, I would agree.

[pannikin]

Yeah, cos a 5 and a half month old baby is capable of devouring a whole chicken nuggets and chips meal - I struggled to get DS to eat a spoonful of porridge until he was about 8 months!

[Grimbles]

A CHICKEN NUGGET!!!!!!!

Why didnt you say? Call social services immediately!

[Nissemand]

There's no way the baby ate a whole happy meal.

It's no different to all the children whose first foods were pizza/chips/nuggets/curry swiped from someone else's plate.

There's nothing toxic in a McDonald's chicken nugget.

[LARLARLAND]

Who the fuck gives a five month old baby a Maccies

[TreMonet]

Oh ffs 🙈

[Fiffyshadesofgreymatter]

It's disgusting. A baby should not be eating shit like that. I agree with you OP.

And her posting it on Facebook like she's proud shed given her baby fast food? Well, she'll be a great parent, won't she.
