Definination of an UNFIT mum! - Real Mum story on MoM

15 Comments

I was recently called an unfit mum by a relative. She said and I quote :” You are an unfit mum and doesn’t know how to take care of your daughter.” The reason for calling me that? She saw a photo of me giving my 8 months of bub a piece of rib bone to suck on. She said I shouldn’t give her meat because she is so young… Which is not even true!!!

I was furious!! Out of all reasons!!! Being called an unfit is basically the cruelest comment you can say to a mother who devoted 24 hours a day to her daughter, quit her job to be a full time mum and wife. I am not saying I am a perfect mum but surely not UNFIT just because I gave my girl a piece of meat to chew?!!! Oh the common sense in some people!

Who doesn’t give their bubs a bone to chew on? Bit of an over reaction?! My dad threatened to call welfare on me one day….because my 2 yo was having a tantrum :/ Go for it I said, I’m not doing anything wrong

Same old story, we can choose our friends but not our relatives, I always gave my kids meat to chew on, obviously made sure that they could not choke on the bones etc, but I always believed that the more tastes and textures that you can get kids to try at an early age then the easier it is to have them eat a varied diet as they get older.. good luck.

what a B***H, she has no right even if she disagrees about what age to feed meat to babies.

Some people are just ‘tossers’ and you’re right what she said was cruel, what a spiteful individual, please don’t feel bad, you know you’re a good mother and that’s all that counts.

Just ignore silly people like that. You know what your doing for your daughter. Pity the other woman hasn’t learnt to mind her own business yet!

Just ignore them. As a mum, you know what to do and the best for your daughter.

the older generation has always been harsh to judge quickly, and refuse to learn a lesson with time, what was good for them, is still the only thing good now.

This just makes me furious. No one has the right to put another person down like that!

I can relate – I too stopped working and devoted all of my time to my daughter. I had my father-in-law say I was depriving my daughter because I wouldn’t give her peanut butter or honey on her rusks. She was just over 6 months old. Would be much easier if people stopped and thought about what they were saying! Smile and say thank you – if nothing else it really annoys people trying to put you down
