Mum gave daughter rotten milk

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!

@PalmPrint

Goodness me. The Spanish Inquisition over the milk and whether it was really off or not, and how did the OP know it was off if it had all been eaten etc etc. Just accept what the OP is saying and answer accordingly.

All bow and curtsy to the forum police. Hmm

@MonstranceClock I cannot get past WHY your mother forced your daughter to eat rancid, lumpy, sour milk.

Is she normally this cruel? Confused

Did she do the same to you when you were a child?

Why do you leave your daughter with her?

I wouldn't!

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

In that case, and bearing in mind your morning sickness also, I think the least your mum could do is offer to have your DD in the car with her.

PIL once gave DD off milk in her bottle, she drank it and was fine.

They were convinced it wasn't off when they poured it but she'd been wandering round with it for a couple of hours and both the milk in her bottle (that she was still drinking) and the milk left in the main bottle were lumpy and rank by the time I got there.

But anyway, she was fine.

I’m going to go in the morning now anyway, fingers crossed she is fine tonight.

I have changed my mind since voting: to give your Dd LUMPY milk and then make her eat it when she said it tasted funny is not good on either count.

And I would make her take her in her car.

Take a bucket with you, if it was as bad as you say I think you’ll be seeing it again quite quickly.

Rubyupbeat · 28/08/2019 19:17

You are so harsh....Accidentally, means just that. And if it was bad, she wouldn't have drank/ate it, the taste is awful.
Your poor Mum must feel really bad.

Rubyupbeat · 28/08/2019 19:18

Oops, sorry, just seen your subsequent posts

Socksey · 28/08/2019 19:27

I hope you don't give your child cheese.... 🤔

Mia184 · 28/08/2019 19:37

@FrenchBoule thank you! Normal milk here is homogenized as well; I have one that is not (it is pasteurized though). I thought you could make it with either milk - thanks for clarifying!

You have to be a special kind of stupid to be comparing rancid, lumpy milk to cheese.

Not even cottage cheese (which I love). There’s not much book-worthy than well matured milk 🤢

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 28/08/2019 19:46

Book not book!

My autocorrect has gone all English. Try again bowl bowl bowl BOAK

My in laws did this once. We were staying in a holiday cottage and I went into the kitchen to find my dd eating cereal with foul gone off milk on it. I immediately threw it away but both in laws said it was fine Confused. Maybe sense of smell deteriorates with age? DH could smell it as soon as he came in the kitchen. No one was sick though.

If my mum was quite old maybe I could understand but she’s only mid 40’s!

ugh god that is gross and awful your mum made her eat it - that is the worst part imo.

Frlrlrubert · 28/08/2019 20:21

DD also has known to drop bottles in random places and then find them later and start happily drinking from them while I run to take it from her.

Maybe she's weird though (first child, I'd just assumed the boak reflex developed later Blush)

This site it bloody strange sometimes. Being made to eat a full bowl of cereal prepared with sour milk would turn most people’s stomachs.

If you’re feeding a child the least you should be doing is ensuring the food isn’t rotten.

AdoreTheBeach · 29/08/2019 06:06

My dad can’t smell which has has impacted his ability to taste. He has very often drank “rotten” (spoiled) milk He’s never once been I’ll. We are talking sometimes which a few chunky bits in the milk too.

As PP said, it was an accident. Don’t make more if it than you already have.

AdoreTheBeach · 29/08/2019 06:09

Sorry. I take back what I wrote. I’m guilty of commenting before RTFT

Sp3849 · 29/08/2019 06:47

I don't know how she did not notice 😱 poor kid. Is your mum OK? It is a bit odd not too notice lumpy smelly milk. But I am sure she feels terrible about it now and I would definitely take a bowl for the journey. Have a safe trip

LiveInAHidingPlace · 29/08/2019 06:50

I can't believe some people think yoghurt is just off milk!

Why waste your money on good yoghurt then? Just stick some semi skimmed in a warm patch and you'll have delicious yoghurt in a few days.

LiveInAHidingPlace · 29/08/2019 06:51

Or cheese!

People are mad.

I once put rancid milk in DH's coffee, in a thermos for his commute. I don't drink milk so didn't think to smell it, and I'd been up all night with the baby. As I was pouring I thought a lump splashed from the carton into the thermos but put it down to hallucinations from sleep deprivation. Poor DH drank most of it on the train before encountering a slimy lump of rotten milk! He was fine just horrified that I hadn't noticed!
