Ok so not sure if this has been discussed before...didn't really know what to look up.
So
Just wanted to open up a discussion, see what people feel, think etc in regards to giving food to other peoples Children. And I don't mean feeding them lunch when they come to stay. I'm talking about those who just up & give a lollie or a biscuit without a thought first as to if they child can have it....or without asking!
It's something that is starting to get on my nerves & my sister even mentioned she never noticed how much people just "give food" to a baby no thought at all & her little girl is not yet 1!!!!
I understand if you were at a childs party for ex & some kids were getting an adult to pass them something you may just hand to all of the kids. This I would expect. But I'm getting a bit annoyed with people giving things to my
DS that he's never had before & he doesn't need.
My
DS often goes into
DH place of work as he works away from home a lot & when he is home he will go in & out of the office to pick things up. He'll take
DS with him to give me some "me time". The other day he comes home with a new word "yollies"...I'm thinking WTF. Yeah ok, it's good at 2.5 he didn't know what they were but thats how I liked it!!! And it's worked for us. Then
DH explains how the office lady gave him a "BAG"
of jelly beans. He gave
DS some & then threw the bag away, but now we have him asking for lollies grrrrr & why is it men don't just say "thanks but no thanks"
Then on Sat night at the local outdoor movie thing we went to
DH took
DS with him to get some popcorn & comes back asking for wipes. Yeah ok, "what for" ...."oh the lady gave him a red frog" - arrrgggghhhhhh, not only a lollie but a red one at 7.30pm eeeeekkkk.
Ok so am I going over the top?? I just get so annoyed that people think it's ok to do this. I like that I've been able to keep
DS away from certain things & I don't need to be trying to fix up things others do & what about allergies etc.
Does it bother you? Do you do it? hmmmm just wondering on other peoples thoughts or what you do.
