bad mum ?

[SheIsAway]

To cut long story short separated for while now
Smal DC
I met ex mother last time
I told her that ""happy news"
Im away for good and (I really shouldnt )
I said to her some stuff what he d done to me

And then she started
How bad mum Im cos my kid doesnt eat normal food
(he is eating healthy food but he prefer mashy stuff)
And he doesnt use potty yet

I didnt had idea how bad Im because of that
Is really bad that he eat healthy ?

With potty I do know I failed because I didnt start earlier

I know its going to turn messy
She said she went to solicitor and how amusing is her son and obviously how bad Im

dont get involved rise above and ignore, hard i know

how old is your son?

2.5
I know there is not point
During the last a few months he really made huge progress with his development
But still when she said..

My ds1 wasn't potty trained until a month before he turned 3, he just wasn't ready.

And no its not bad that he eats healthily, as long as his diet is varied.

Just ignore her.

Dunno about your parenting skills

Don't poke mothers.

Generally if you speak your 'truth' about an ex to an ex's mother she will reply either with utter disdain or with a sharp savaging
You got the latter.

Imagine if it was your d's ex?
Ignore her but don't wrangle with her

Ignore her!

Your NOT a bad mum.
SHE has a bad son.

Shes just bitter.

My ds is just 3 and just potty trained. My mum was doing the "you should have started earlier" helpful advice, like I can go back in time! Anyway it really wasn't bad and he got it quickly, in a few days. In the old days they used to start a lot earlier and often have months and months of stress. Now lots of advice is to wait longer till they are ready.

But I agree with Ronald, it was highly unlikely she was going to agree with you and not just attack you back. Listen to the opinion of people who you respect and you think are good parents themselves.

Have you got other people in your life who you trust? Listen to them.

My MIL once sent me a text stating...I hope your son grows up to hate you and realise what a bad mum I am..I text her back that I values the opinion of those who recognise how hard I work to make my son happy..She did apologise...

She isn't the person going to recognise how you are doing.. 2.5 is not late for potty training my son was nearly 3 by the time he was trained..He also ate loads of fish as he couldn't be bothered to chew meat...He is now 6 and a very healthy child ...

take no notice of her rantings but equally don't waste your time trying to enlighten her on her son..she will always attack those who attack her child which is what we do

You didn't fail!!! It's just potty training. He won't be in nappies at 18 will he?

Just do it when you're both ready. And 2.5yrs is quite young still.

Ignore her.

Nothing wrong with mashed food especially if he eats a healthy variety.

Again, ignore her.

Sounds like you're well rid of your ex and his mother!
