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!

Possibly Mum didnt realise .The recent hot weather turns milk "off"more quickly somehow .if it had been left out of the fridge or got warm somehow .

This is why I don’t drink milk. I remember having slightly off milk frequently as a child (parents never gave to me lumpy but often when it was going off and didn’t want to waste etc) and the memory of that smell and taste still makes me feel sick.

Man, the OP asks a simple question and it gets torn to shreds.

All the questions and accusations.
The drama!

She just asked if her kid would puke, fuck me! 🙄

Was an accident and if it was that bad she wouldn't have eaten it so she will be fine

She didn't just ask if her kid would like. She said her dd should travel with her mum so she would have to clear up the vom and she was very snippy and annoyed. Drama over nothing.

I’ve got a mum like this. It used to be almost funny, before I had a kid around. All the adults knew to check for themselves, and felt able to push food away that they had doubts about. It wasn’t that regular an occurrence, just that my mum’s always had a ‘tosh n nonsense’ attitude to ‘use by’ dates on certain products (like, all relishes & jams, most condiments).

And she gets VERY stroppy if anyone calls her on it. Would never apologise, in fact she’ll punish you with silence for a month if you offend her by pointing out the age of the food. Including (famously) the day we checked and found the mustard was from a jar that said ‘best before’ 1987. This was circa mid 2017.

Recently she gave me a Tupperware of cooked green beans for my dd’s dinner. There were technically beans in there. Under the pretty blue fur.

It’s one of the reasons I ‘byo’ my dd’s food to her place. I feel for you, OP.

Thanks for projecting your issues into me bubsworth. I wasn’t making her snack because I was upstairs with my head down the toilet bowl, is that ok with you?

I think it’s hilarious that people are saying it’s me that has made this Into a big drama. I literally just posted to see if she would be puke rotten milk, because if she will she can travel in my mums car.

she was very snippy and annoyed.

STOP THE PRESS!

Someone was "snippy and annoyed." On Mumsnet. Everyone, tear them a new arsehole immediately!

Yeah fuck me, I’m pregnant, bad morning sickness, about to drive 5 hours to London to go to an incredibly hard and stressful event. Excuse me for being pissed off that my mother has potentially made the trip a bit harder for me.

OP you're not allowed to be pissed off on Mumsnet, they will rip you this way and that, telling you why you're not allowed to
be annoyed.

Had you started the thread "I'm sure I'm being unreasonable, but I feel mildly annoyed." Then you might have just about got away with it. But probably not.

NO ONE is allowed to be miffed on MN unless it's about something horrific. And even then, one of the fuckers will get through the cracks.

Your mum fed your daughter rank milk, you could really do without a kid hurling in your car. Your mum neither recognised her mistake nor would apologise if she realised AND she made your kid eat it all (let's be honest, she would have known her error by then).
Take it from a normal person who isn't an arsehole who likes to make people feel like shit on Mumsnet - YANBU to feel annoyed.

My comment wasn't just based on your initial question but a lot of your other comments in this thread. And morning sickness doesn't make it ok to disrespect your mum on a public forum because of a mistake she made. I dread to think how you spoke to her and made her feel IRL.

Oh fuck off Bubsworth.

Disrespecting her mum on a public forum?
Who the hell are you, her mother?

Every man and his dog has a right to come on to Mumsnet and slag off whoever the hell they like. They can vent, they can moan and they can get it off their chest.

Do you ever remember (or know) what it's like to have MS? You don't just feel sick. You feel like you haven't slept in years and you feel like you have been hit by a bus AND you have to repeatedly vomit on top of that.

The OP has every right to not only be miffed with her mum (which she clearly has at least mild relationship issues with which was hinted at at the start of the thread) and say so on this 'public forum' which, news flash, is anonymous.

Jesus the doogooders make me want to puke.

I didn’t say anything to her actually. But well done for the wild imagination.

Give her a sick bowl just in-case.
If DD isn`t complaining of tummy ache I wouldn't worry.
Also why on earth did your M make DD eat it ?.

Agree with @Bubsworth You've engineered this whole thread to make your mum look like the devil forcing the child to drink off milk. And then you being petty about wanting her to throw up in your mums car instead.
It was a bloody mistake.
You are pregnant and tired so have overreacted and made this a big deal.

@Bubsworth and @LochJessMonster are just odd, ignore them OP.

Any caregiver that:

1. gives a small child rancid milk

1. makes them eat it all without checking the milk after the child flags that it tastes funny (besides you're not meant to force toddlers to finish their food as they naturally know when they've had enough); and

1. won't admit they're mistake let alone apologise

Is negligent verging on cruel. I can't see how your mother's actions and response can be interpreted as an accident or mistake. She's not even apologetic.

YANBU OP and for some reason many posters want to take their anger out on you this morning.

Did she spew OP?

I cant believe how horrible people are being to the OP! Especially since she clarified that her daughter told her Mum the milk tasted bad but was made to eat it anyway!

Yes, we all make mistakes. I have given my own children spoilt milk before I would expect her Mum to be embarrassed and apologetic to both OP and her daughter though.

Wow OP you sound like an ungrateful brat.
Why didn't you make your daughter breakfast?
Why can't you accept that your mum made a very simple and honest mistake?
Honestly I'd do anything to have my mum here with me and my baby. You don't deserve your lovely mum.^

Oh yeah, OP should be so grateful that her mum went to the enormous trouble of pouring some Coco Pops into a bowl and pouring some milk on top of them. And she couldn't even do that right! I don't even think her mum sounds all that lovely, TBH!

Just stopped in Exeter, no sick yet so I think we’re good.

I'm glad it's worked out for you OP. I hope your daughter is OK, travel illness is awful :( have fun in London!
My mum does some batshit crazy stuff with food too.
