Mum gave daughter rotten milk

[MonstranceClock]

Mum accidentally gave my daughter rotten milk in her cereal. We are about to leave for a 5 hour drive. She’s going to be sick isn’t she? Aibu to make my mum take my daughter in her car so she can deal with it?! So annoyed!

I accidentally gave my son a beaker of off milk. He drank about half the beaker. I wondered why he hadn’t finished it until I went to pour it down the sink.
We saw the milk back again about 30 mins later all over the floor. Poor boy...

If she gets car sick, give her stugeron tablets (they can chew them)

Oh sounds like my mum, she insists things in her fridge are fine "only a little bit out of date - it is fine"

I once was home sick and virtuously drank most of a 2 pint bottle of milk.

I’d never lost my sense of smell and taste before. DH walked in the door and said ‘oh my god this place reeks of off milk’. I was fine.

My mother would never apologise to me in a million years! She never have me stuff that was off, but if she did she would have made me eat it as she would rather I was ill than be perceived as wrong. But my mothers is a whole other story.

I've given my kids off milk a couple of times by mistake. One would notice immediately and one would lap it all up without a care. Neither were sick.

It was an accident. Give her a break.

Given your most recent post about your mother, why would you at all want her around you, let alone your child?

Sounds like there's a big back story here.

I do think you're being a bit dramatic- we have (mostly) all at some point used milk that was a bit off. It's unlikely she was trying to poison your daughter like your thread title implies.

Your mum probably just assumed your DD was being fussy. Children are often fussy so if you assumed things were off every time a child said they didn't want something you'd be in for a rough time and a lot of waste!

Give your mum a break- YABU.

Cocopops to a car sick child? Yikes. She'll be poorly regardless.

My title in no way implies that at all. It says my mum gave my daughter rotten milk, which she did.
I’m just annoyed that she was so careless. Surely everyone gives milk a sniff before they use it anyway?

" at some point used milk that was a bit off. "

But Op said it was lumpy!

The milk had likely turned into what in Germany we call „Dickmilch“ (thick milk) - you can buy it in supermarkets here. It tastes unlike milk; rather sour. If I have milk that has turned thick and sour, I‘ll eat it with fruit.

How can she know it was lumpy when her daughter was forced to drink it all, and if the daughter is old enough to know, then why wasn't she creating merry hell?
Odd thread.

maybe an aside to your Mum to believe your daughter and check things before making her eat it all and yes she can have her in her car ffs

It's done now, so rather than make a huge fuss you just need to get on with your day. I do sympathise on the travel sickness though, the back of our passenger seat inevitably looks like a Jackson Pollock after a long car journey

In southern Africa this is a delicacy. People leave their milk to go off before drinking it. I doubt she will be sick.

Obviously there was milk left in the bottle, Jesus Christ.

I’ve not made a huge fuss, just asking if this will make her ill.

This happened to a friend when she was small. Grandma was of the "We eat what we are given and don't get down from the table until it's all gone" school, then gave my friend cereal with lumpy milk and wouldn't listen when said friend complained that it tasted funny.

Friend was not sick as far as I know (but still refuses to drink milk - and tells everyone why.)

@Mia184 here all the milk is homogenised meaning it doesn’t go sour to make curd cheese, here milk goes off as off, not suitable for consumption.

If your DD gets car sick the last thing she should have been fed was a milky breakfast anyway. Who's idea was it to give her the cereal? Who did the gone off milk belong to?

My mother’s. I told her to give her toast, but she decides to give her cereal.

Probably won't make her ill any more than the motion of the car would.

Cocopops though...
You both should be locked up .

It's not nice having off milk... although I think your daughter be okay. My gran used to use sour milk to make scones - apparently this is quite common! (I think it was from the war when there was rationing and they wasted absolutely nothing) - they were the best scones in the world and we were never sick from eating them! :-)

she would rather I was ill than be perceived as wrong

She doesn't sound like a great person to be looking after your daughter
