my mil used to carry my son out of high chair when he fuss. then i kept telling her my logic and how i wanted to train him to sit longer. so she stopped carrying her out until i finishes my dinner/ until i say ok. b4 my son was 1yo she cooks her porridge with fish sauce, and all sorts of seasoning. then i kept telling her his stomach is still young. too salty cannot. my son turned 1 in dec. today when cooking dinner she ask what seasoning i want for my son's egg. i said soya sauce. she was surprised. hahahaha... but i do let everyone knows that what is a big no no to feed my son. my in laws are usually alright with it.
Ignore and ignore..I used get pissed and all and will start defending my stand..but soon realised that some people just need to have a say.. If I ignore them totally and concentrate on feeding my lo they'll soon learn that their irritating ways are not being entertained and will stop soon.. As for ur sil's action, usually I'll "talk to my lo" like darling eat 1st then play OK?..or see what yiyi is showing u, it's a can drink which is so unhealthy mummy will not allow u to drink ya.. All said with a smile..
Hey mummy! Im like you! Disturb my girl while im trying to feed her and i str8 bring her out to feed sounds rude but i really hate it when ppl distract when im feeding or she's drinking! One point i fed baby porridge 1st time she doesn't like it crying and all my hus and my Mil keep repeating saying mybe hot mybe hot wah hot la i rinse my voice say No is not she doesn't like it keep repeating hot and i gave a death stare at my hus and he came in and save me😒
My first CNY with the my 7MO girl, I wasn't looking forward to begin with. I did settle her meal at home before we went out (which obviously was late by then haha). I left my LO with my MIL , turned my head away for 10secs and but caught my husband's relative feeding her a sweet drink. I WAs absolutely furious, i said stop, and couldn't help but rolled my eyes in front of everyone. Seriously?!
Hahahah! so many times this happened to me. well it's normal i would say. since i don't always feed my child at relatives places. i just kept quiet and endure. if it's at husband relatives place i would give him a death stare and he would know what i meant. if i'm at my relatives places, i will just say my relatives.
Normal my fil did that all the time/ distracting the little one like want to carry him away from the dinner table when he is eating (just because my fil can't missed out 1 min of carrying) luckily my mil will say him. But my mil always asked me what iM feeling my little one too ...
When I have to feed @ others’ place , I usually do it in a separate room without them. My excuse is my little one gets distracted easily & wont finish his food
Perfectly normal. Not only relatives but it will happen anywhere. Its tolerable to me, afterall its once a year and its not something life threatening
