So I know when you're friends with someone you can see the pics they're tagged in... juuust in case you've seen mine.
We had a little cook out at our hotel pavillion in Disney. While I was swimming with Justin I heard everyone laughing. Then DH yelling. He flipped out on his mom because she was giving my 6 1/2 mth old babies... a freakin T BONE STEAK. She was letting them gnaw on it like dogs. When I confronted her she acted like DH over-reacted saying she just let them "chew a bare bone for a second just to get a taste". So I kind of dismissed it, knowing she's insane. Well... SIL put pics up today- it's not bare bone, it's like the full on fatty steak crammed in their mouths. I swear to God she does this sh!t just watch me get upset so I refuse to comment on the pic... so I have to vent here.
I'll put one of the pics below... just so you get the full image of my post (that's my other SIL holding her btw)
Yea, that's definitely more than just the bone! I'm glad that your DH yelled at her too! And I'd be annoyed about your SIL posting that pic too, knowing that you and DH probably weren't thrilled about the situation.
I would be p*ssed too! I'm glad your DH said something, so it wasn't up to you. It's crazy what people do because "they did it and their kids turned out fine." I would be tempted to comment on the picture, so people don't think you were cool with them feeding your babies steak.
Well, we all know what a looney I am about what my kid eats, so I would be SUPER angry about that. I am glad that your husband was on the same page and said something right away. I would have had to poke him and give him the look of death if I wanted him to call his mother on something like that. I can't believe SIL 1 - took a picture and 2 - posted it to FB knowing full well you were annoyed about it. Did she tag you guys in it? I would untag. You are probably right not to comment, I wouldn't trust myself. Often I keep my mouth shut on things because I know if I do say something, it will not be very nice so it is better to leave it unsaid at that point.
As everyone else said, I'd be p!ssed too but at least your DH addressed it. And if you think it's just to get a rise out of you I wouldn't say anything...but it would be difficult. Maybe untag yourself. That would probably speak volumes.

I saw the pics on FB and just assumed you were ok with it since you were tagged. I would untag yourself but I am sure everyone knows who the kids are.
Are things good between you and your SIL? those are the ones going on your vacation right? is MIL going too?
The SIL holding Nat is just DH's little sister. The SIL who took the pic is the one we're going on vacation with (it's DH's bro and his wife with the 4 kids). She took the pic and texted me to ask if she could post it. I said I didn't care- I love her but I know she'd say something to MIL if I asked her not to post it so I just have to blow it off. Things are okay between us... a little awkward (per my Whine Wednesday story). I understand she thought we were talking about her but I would NEVER approach someone like that. She's flown off the handle like that before at DH so I guess it's just how she is. It will blow over...
That would absolutely p*ss me off, too! I don't understand why people, especially grandmothers, think it's ok to do things like this?
Agree! That's nuts! DH's Aunt (who is pretty much a MIL figure to us) does similar things, like always gives T all kinds of sweets and junk food that she knows I don't like T to have and feel strongly about it! Drives me crazy!
Re: Pic on fb
My FIL tried to feed my DD some bacon when she was really young.
a) there is no way she could have chewed it
b) all that grease would have upset her stomach
c) he knows full well (or at least has been told many times) she is VEGETARIAN.
He also gave her chocolate peanut butter pie before she was 1. wth.
