Original poster

To put DD to bed without any dinner...

298 replies

...because she refused to eat what I've made made her.

She kept asking for a banana but I said no, she had to at least attempt to eat her soup.

She refused and had a massive tantrum She's only 14 months old, but very stubborn.

I'm certainly not going to make her something else, and I feel if I give in to her she'll be demanding a banana every meal time.

So I'm going to put her to bed without any dinner.

whatever....
I'm not going to argue for argues sake

Gateau · 09/09/2008 11:24

Agree Enid.
We can give our opinions where and when we want.
If these posters know the thread has been and gone, why are they still on it???!

mamadiva · 09/09/2008 11:25

I wasn't being aggressive I was having a laugh L A U G H no the meaning of the word? Don't know about you but I don't type LOL whne I'm pissed off.

I was trying to put across that it had been sorted and had to do it in BIG letters to make sure peope on active convos saw it.

I couldn't actually care whether you think I'm 'nice' or not I was putting my point across and that's that.

Also I didn't feel like shit whenI was putting him to bed with no food enid I felt like shit when I was asking others opinions on what I should do and even though the HV told me to put him to bed without I was told SS should take my kid away to somone who gives a shit about him and that I was abusinga nd neglecting him because he wouldn't eat. Hardly my fault he's extremely fussy!

3andnomore · 09/09/2008 11:25

because people keep telling op she is Yabu...when she had actually not gone through with it anyway...

mamadiva · 09/09/2008 11:28

NP peppermint, I've been on the end of it before it isn't nice when people make you think you are being the biggest bitch in the world. I'm sure all of the parents who come on to this thread are the ahem perfect parent and we should all bow down and learn at their flawless techniques.

PMP,

AIBU is a source of amusement for many posters who will carry it on as they get a kick out making bitchy or negative remarks. Ignore, ignore,ignore.

DaphneMoon · 09/09/2008 11:28

LOL Gateau You are SO right!

Gateau · 09/09/2008 11:30

Mamadiva, thou doth protest too much. If you were so confident about putting your DS to bed without food, why did you feel the need to post in the first place?

bloomingfedup · 09/09/2008 11:31

Yawn.

3andnomore · 09/09/2008 11:37

indeed blooming

mamadiva · 09/09/2008 11:37

I didn't feel comfortable with it if you ahd bothered to read you'd see I said it before.

My 2YO wn't even eat one meal a day and hasn't done so since he was about 14 months old. He suddenly became very, very fussy and I had to take him to the doctors.

HV told me to put him to bed without as no child will starve themselves and he would eventually eat. I didn't like the idea of this but being a young first time mum I thought I will listenb to the HV she must know what she's talking about. I felt shit because although he lept fine and wasn't crying out for food or anything and still refusing when offered he did this for 3 days and almost ended up in hospital on a drip because he would not eat. He has had blood tests for allrgies, tests to determine what's wrong with him whether it's his stomach or bowels etc but there is nothing physically wrong with him to suggest why he won't eat.

So this is why I'm a bit defenive about this subject.

3andnomore · 09/09/2008 11:39

btw...daphne, if you were so interested...than you would have read more of the thread, surely? Or were you just interested in shouting YABU for your own pleasure?
OH, and obviously you can post...but it is kinda pointless when OP already realised that she was YABU anyway,
but hohum...

2beornot2be · 09/09/2008 11:40

I made a point of reading all posts on this one as it was very varied If you do indeed read all posts your find that OP is a first time mother looking for advice and she worded it wrongly on first post she is recovering from being sick and was feeling a bit stressed out.

At her wits end and worried if it was good for her 14mth DD to have a Banana for dinner and nothing else.

Please also note she never put her child to bed hungry she gave her DD 2 banana's now she has seeked advice on Mumsnet got a lot of shit and most likely won't ask next time

Gateau · 09/09/2008 11:44

You're right; can't be bothered to read any more. Am off now - for too busy for this tedium.
A message to all of you moaners though - if you're not up to getting people's truthful opinions then don't come on here asking people questions.

bloomingfedup · 09/09/2008 11:45

Yawn yawn yawn

3andnomore · 09/09/2008 11:45

are you in a bad mood/having a bad day gateau? Honestly just wondering....!

Gateau · 09/09/2008 11:47

Before I go, BF; have you got a monosyllabic problem? Or have you just nothing to say?
Why, oh why are you still on here? You are very, very sad.

mamadiva · 09/09/2008 11:49

Syas the one who keeps running away and bouncing back. You must just love us soo much you don't want to actually go! Aww are you having seperation anxietydeary?

bloomingfedup · 09/09/2008 11:49

Oh dear we are in a bad mood today. Did your attempt at causing a bitch fest not quite go your way. Off you go then.

mamadiva · 09/09/2008 11:51

LMFAO fedup. I love how you sit in the corner then punce LOL. Bet she runs back again.

bloomingfedup · 09/09/2008 11:51

Oh and Yawn again to you Gateau. i may be sad but you my love are boriiiiiiig.

DaphneMoon · 09/09/2008 11:53

Excuse me but no I do not have time to ready 10 bloody pages. I read the first and the last and got the jist of it, including the fact that the banana had been given FFS. Why are YOU still on this thread then 3andnomore? You have not answered the question. So you are allowed to keep harping on about it but I am not allowed to come on and make one comment.

3andnomore · 09/09/2008 11:59

Oh, I didn't think it was a question that you actually wanted to have answered....
hm..why am I still here...[wondering the very thing right now]

tbh...because I get annoyed how AIBU threads tend to become a licence to have a bitchfest at the expense of the OP...especially if it becomes an extended bitchfest...

mamadiva · 09/09/2008 11:59

Daphne does it really matter now the fact of the matter is that the child has been fed, OP realised she was being 'unreasonable' as it may seem to most on here.

mamadiva · 09/09/2008 12:00

Totally agree with that 3andnomore
