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)

The MiL was Mrs Slocombe?

I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from saying something with a little giggle like ‘ooh you’ve just reminded me of that Little Britain sketch about granny’s milk, what do they call it, granny’s bitty, yes that’s the one. Have you seen it, it’s hilarious’ 🤣

Alternatives are referred to as milk as nut juice is much worse than Granny milk. 😄

My friend drinks oat milk (as do I) and her other friends all call it 'her funny milk'

Ask the children how they feel about drinking cow's milk.
Don't remove their choice.

Handy hint... removing choice from children often doesn't work.

@Meowandthen Exactly! You would have thought she’d have heard the joke before

What's wrong with that ?

My brother calls it moo juice!!

Have a bit of granny's nipple tipple

My gran’s cousin used to call it ‘cow juice’. I used to be in hysterics.

Yabvvu for giving your kids alternative products that are not actually good for them or the planet when they could drink healthy full fat cows milk for good bone and teeth development. Same for vegan or veggie kids. It's inappropriate to push that on to kids when we are omnivores.
Do agree about granny milk though.

Many people (the majority of the human population) cannot digest milk properly. Most people are at least a little lactose intolerant. Many others don't like the taste of milk, as OP states.

Yes its grim but as they say for every down there’s an up
it’s fucking hilarious
how an earth you kept a straight face when she says it is beyond me

The kids drink oat, almond and soya milk when at home

Well I read Oat as Cat. Now that sound have made me feel ill

Yuk! Probably it's totally benign to her but YADNBU!!

I am constantly amazed by the way older women in general and MILs in particular are always in the wrong/gross/full of ill intent/figures of fun on Mumsnet! But this is a new low, honestly.

Am I the only one who thinks this is very childish?

I mean yes I can see why it might be slightly amusing. But it's obvious that she means the milk granny has at her house and nothing weird.

Of course it’s childish and that’s why it’s funny

@ShirleyPhallus And it offers an opportunity to take the piss out of older people/have a go at MILs. What's not to like?

This is so funny and reminds me of Nanna juice!

I buy bog standard orange juice from Asda. My mum always used to buy M&S orange juice. My kids loved the M&S juice and used to call it Nanna juice lol.

Reminds me of my mum's Grandma juice. It was orange juice watered down with sparkling water instead of tap water. It was my niece who gave it that name rather than my mum!

Oh Christ. Have a day off.

Yep.

Up the sisterhood. Unless you've unforgivably lived long enough to be an 'old lady' - which seems any age after about 55 on here. Or been disgusting enough to have a son who happens to have got married at which point you instantly become an 'old hag'.

Nice.

"Oh Christ. Have a day off."
Such sparking wit...
