To feel queasy every time MIL says...

[MommaTonda]

We drink alternative milk in our house as we prefer the taste. The kids drink oat, almond and soya milk when at home and don't know any different.

When we are at MIL's house, she always offers the kids a glass of cows milk (not sure why) and she calls it "granny's milk".

AIBU to feel queasy every time she says "Who wants some of Granny's milk?" 😅(Can't find a vomit emoji)

Did she ever get to breastfeed? Is this some subconscious thing?

screeeaming at this. It's awful!

Also it's such a grandma win to wish to take ownership of something as basic as cow's milk... like oooh you don't get this at home, it's special at granny's house!

Get a grip guys - you really have weak stomachs.

Daddy’s milk. So wrong

😂

My grandmother used condensed milk in tea and we always called it Granny's milk.

Clearly you’re not being unreasonable.

My FIL has created some vile concoction involving various types of squash, that the kids love. He calls it ‘Grandad Juice’ and I don’t know whether to snigger or vom.

Yanbu!!! It’s a bit ewww

There's a kind of flavoured fizzy water that DH drinks regularly. When the kids were very little they used to call it 'Daddy water'. It always sounded like some euphemism for piss to me. Luckily they've now learnt the name of the drink.

Daddy water still not as bad as Granny's milk, eeuurgh.

😂

Do you have alternative milks for vegetarian/vegan reasons?

Or dairy allergy or other?

This is the sort of thing my late Dad would have done had we gone vegan earlier. ( probably not called it Granny’s milk though)

If we’d politely turned it down he would have huffed and puffed, made passive aggresive comments, mentioned ‘we live in the country’

He did this when we and our children were vegetarian about meat products.

Trying to decide whether granny’s milk or dad’s milk makes me feel more queasy 🤢🤢

Oh God, ‘Dad’s milk’ is even worse!

Think I’d rather drink Granny’s milk than soya milk.

We just say cow or bean? Flat mate from Uni started it and now it's my default.

Didn't have almond in those days, only bean.

Oh god. My mum makes my youngest fizzy water with squash sometimes and my 3 year old calls it 'nanny juice'. We all hate it.

Granny is totally U btw,

Just like every Christmas at my mum's -

mum: 'Would you like some roast ham Alltheyear?'

'Oh no, you're vegetarian!' - as if it's a sudden revelation.

(yes mum, am almost 50 now and have been vegetarian or vegan since age 15).

@Vasilevich I’m sending you my therapy bill 😂

Omg,.it's making my bum cheeks just crinkle up thinking about it..

We don't drink alcohol and after a trip to the grandparents my then 4 year old saw the wine aisle in Tesco and loudly announced "that's Granny's juice"!

When my MIL made burgers and chips for dinner she used to call it McGranny's. It always made my teeth itch but I think that was more my issue than hers.

My elderly mother used to (they don't sell it anymore) buy beef tongue from the butchers and have it in a sandwich.

I'll never forget taking DH round to hers when we were very newly together and her shouting from the kitchen 'Does [DH] want some tongue?'

He nearly spat his tea out and i ... well, i could have died. We still laugh about it 16 years on 😂

Had a good laugh at a lot of the posts. Nausea? Vomit? Really?

Perhaps Gran should call it proper or real milk, as opposed to the stuff the kids have to drink at home.

Same here. I buy Cravendale semi skimmed. My granddaughter 8, loves the taste and asks her mum to buy grandmas milk instead of Tesco’s. No one gives ot a second thought.
To the lady above who said they don’t sell tongue at her butchers, I often buy it for DH, he’s loves a bit of tongue, in between two slices of bread.

Jesus wept!

Waliams is creepy enough (IMHO) without this nastiness. <boak>

when my friend was breastfeeding her firstborn her mum said to her 'don't forget to leave some for her daddy'.

which is ick to the power of 1m.
