Food

[1985mummymia]

Would you give your 8 ans 10 year old 4 month old baby food?

But i doubt they'd want something that was obviously baby food in their packed lunch!

How did Wildorchidz work out what the first post was getting at before the OP explained?

If it is a pureed chicken dinner then you are right to question it.

If she is giving them the fruit pouches as a snack which are like the yoghurt pouches then you are making a drama out of nothing.

I still crave the cow and gates banana pudding and rice pudding and I am 42 yo

There used to be this programme called worlds weirdest and they had these model twins who were on the baby food diet. They said they were addicted to it and went to a eating disorders meeting. They were proper early 90s American Pamela Anderson types and stood up together and said we’re candy and kaley and we’re baby food addicts... god it was the best trash tv. Anyway I digress

Urm.... I give all my children the pouches of purée fruit as a treat? Is this what she gives then? Pouches or jars? X

Baby food is a pretty shit treat for a 10 year old!

I love rusks.

How is pureed fruit different to a smoothie?

If it’s in a pouch that says Ella’s kitchen, it’s different from a smoothie

Actually I think it's really weird and pretty shitty actually, especially if the kids don't want them.

If they are obviously baby food then yes ita weird.

Why can’t she just give them a piece of fruit?! Op is clear the children don’t want bloody baby food, so YANBU to question it. I wouldn’t dream of giving an older child baby food. If they want purées, then make them or have a smoothie.

@notso
The op started another thread where she gave details re the ex’s gf.

Supermarkets sell pouches of puréed fruit aimed at older children I presume as they're normally near the dried fruit and raisin lunch box type snacks. I used to buy them for my eldest for school as she's a fruit dodger. But then all her friends thought she was bringing her baby siblings food to school

So they get normal meals, but when they say they want a snack she gives them what is essentially a fruit smoothie or compote.

Quirky, maybe, but I don't get your problem.

I love how when you ask advise on here people think they know the whole story, like I said before it's just 1 thing. And I was asking if anyone else would do the same, I personally think it's bad which is fine and my opinion. I dont view this as a gossiping site which I think some people do. Yes I do dislike this woman for very good reasons but this isn't the place to discuss why. Thank you for all the replies x

?

Well maybe if you gave the shoe story, op, people wouldn’t need to speculate.

What kind of baby food exactly has she given?

That the whole story

Wow wildorchidz are you psychic? 😂

Baby food overall, and instead of real food, definitely not okay.

But a fruit or yoghurt pouch or even a fruit pot is seen as a treat by older children sometimes. DS loves a yoghurt pouch (although doesn't do the fruit/smoothie ones any more) and DD who is 5 still considers a fruit pouch a treat - she gets them for pudding sometimes.

I wouldn’t normally give a child that age a baby food pouch.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong in principle with them eating something like a fruity pouch (Ella’s Kitchen or whatever) as a snack.

But compared to actual fruit they’re an expensive option, and if they’re in a pack lunch for school then I’d be concerned about other children making fun of the one eating “baby food”.

Are you using this as a way of getting your current child arrangement order changed?

Sorry but I saw your other thread.

If you have genuine concerns regarding your children's welfare when with their father then you need to speak to a solicitor and go through court.

Seeking strangers opinions on here while giving half a tale will not help you.

My 12 and 10 year olds love the pouches of pureed fruit. Does she mean those?

I wouldn't give them baby food and haven't met a child who still has baby food at that age. They sell normal fruit pouches in supermarkets.
