SIL vent

Kell+bellKell+bell
in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

My SIL has two kids.  DS is almost four and DD is about nine months.  She does many, many things that piss me off - most involve calling her brother (DH) only when the kids are sick and she wants him to write a scrip, check their ears, admit them to the hospital, etc.  But right now I'm irritated b/c of how she feeds DD.  She thinks I look down on her for FF; I don't.  I don't think it matters one way or the other, and I know that I have been fortunate to BF both of mine.  What pisses me off is that she feeds DD like her three year old and has since apparently three months of age.  I knew she started feeding her table food early, but come on!  We were at her house the other day and she gave both her kids mac and cheese and brocolli.  She says, "Oh she gets upset if she can't have whatever he's having and he'd feed it to her anyway." Yeah, that's a good reason.  Ok, I'm sorry if this comes across as petty.  I just needed to vent for a minute and try not to b^tch to DH about his family.  I know it worried him how she feeds DD, but he doesn't want to say anything.

    I'm confused ...she feeds her children like that or both hers AND yours? If it's just her, then there isn't much you can do about that, and I'm sorry that it's frustrating you. If it's your kids too, I would say something to her immediately.

    I don't think this is petty. Totally something I would vent about too, and good call doing it on TB rather than to your H! : ) Though I'd find it hard to resist.

    I think I would call my bro all the time if he were a doc so much more convenient :). As for mac and cheese and broccoli at nine months not sure what the big deal is?? I know that DS #1 was prob eating like that at nine months ... we started cereal at 4 months with him.

    It's just her daughter. I don't think she's harming her child, nor do I want to change her. I just wanted to complain about her a bit.  I don't blame her for asking kid questions (yes DH is a pedi), but she never calls to say Happy Birthday or how are you doing after surgery (this weekend) or how are the kids.  It's always "I think DS has an ear infection and his pedi won't give us an antibiotic. I know you're against it but I dont want to take off."  Basically, she just annoys me.  And I think there is some merit to BLW, but I think 3 mos was a little early for goldfish crackers.
