to be updset at friends bullying me about baby care AND baby name???

[jaabaar]

I really really got upset when my friend visited me last week. Baby is 4 months old.

THis is what happened:

• Friend: Can I feed a banana? Me: No, we didnt start weaning yet. Friend: OK. AND feeds the banana! Same happened next day

• My baby has two first names. The second name is in honour of my mum. But we call the baby by the first first name.

Friend: DO NOT call her the first name. It is horrible, where did you find it out of the blue???? Why do you give such a meaning less name??? You MUST call her by the second name. And during her stay whenver I called baby by first first name we had the same story.....

• Friend: What name will you give priest when you baptise? (I say both names). Friend: NO NO NO, If you do that I will not baptise the baby!

• Friend: WHY dont you put honey on the dummy if she doesnt take dummy?

Me: Because honey should not be fed before 1 year! Friend: WHY are you being so difficult??? For centuries it was like that! My God how you have changed!!!

And it goes on and on and on....

I am exhausted from swallowing all of this without getting into arguments just for peace sake.

WHAT could I have done and what can I do NEXT time????

Surely a baby's name is a parents business....

Seriously? You still want to be friends with her? She sounds horrible!!

Just tell her to get out

Not let her in the house?

YANBU; she is not your friend. If she ever was truly your friend, then it's her that has changed, not you. I'm surprised you didn't throw her out!

Tell her to fuck off.

i second kreecher, what an interfering,ignorant cow

I cant just tell her to get out
We have been friends for over 20 years.
Unfortunately she has changed a lot since I have a baby.

Also when I was pregnant we only told family and friends after the 12 week scan. It was another disaster! Why Why DIDNT you tell earlier??? Why are you so strange??? Everyone of my friends and family always said it straight away!

I calmly tried to explain that it was mine and my husbads decision.... Still didnt work....

Does she have any children? She sounds like an utter child.

SHe doesnt even have children herself....

cut her out, she's really odd. does she have children?

Stand up for yourself, this woman is walking all over you.

Honey will paralyse your baby. Shes an idiot.

Tell her to leave! Or better still dont invite her round. she sounds horrible!

Does she have children herself?

She sounds like a rude cow to me. You shouldn't put up with her speaking to you like that in your own home. And why did you let her feed the baby the banana? You need to stand up to her more.

She's vile! Don't be her friend any more. The banana thing reminds me horribly of the poor frankfurter baby.

just start ignoring her calls if you don't want a confrontation (although I would!),she'll get the message eventually

I'm sorry i know you say she's been your friend for 20 years, but it doesn't sound like she is anymore. Maybe just try avoiding her for a while, see her once (say after a month or so) then if she's nasty again, avoid her again... see if she gets the message?

she is bullying you & sounds like a bitch.
whatever the reason behind her behaviour it's unacceptable & you must let her know.
I'd make it clear that whilst 20 years of friendship counts for something she needs to back off, listen to you & respect your wishes if she wants the friendship to continue.

I was very very sad about the banana feeding as I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to the first time introducing food. And I do NOT want to start introducing taste of food before 6 months. I know everybody has different opinions and that is absolutely fine, BUT you should not impose yours on others.

I am a bit over the top with First time this and First time that... Still I feel she took that away from me too.

bloody hell woman!let me simplify it for you..
friends are NICE to you
this woman is TWAT to you
therefore is not a friend...ok?!!

and do you mean you allowed her to feed you baby a banana when you had said no?
if this is the case,then i am at your doormattedness!!

Show her the door. Why on earth would you want to be friends with such a cow?

I would cut her out completely.

You are not being OTT - she is being totally and utterly out of order.
