Baby eating McDonalds - would you say anything?

[x__amour]

No, I wouldn't say anything. It's none of my business.

Wow, this thread is popular!!!

I personally would NEVER think of telling someone what they should or should not do with their children no matter how well intended it might be.

Now that I'm a parent, nothing bothers me more then others telling me how they think MY child should be raised. It's funny how once you have a kid, everyone thinks they can have an input on everything you do ..... mostly inlaws. haha

I find it really strange that as a forum we give more responses to a bitching session about mcdonalds than we do to a genuine worry or problem someone has.

The kids wont die because they ate mcdonalds,its not very healthy but it aint rat poison either!Im glad people around me arent so judgemental.

I wouldn't say anything. It really sucks when someone judges your parenting decisions.
Though I wouldn't give Maria macdonalds (its shit, I'd take her to Hesburger instead ) a little fast food is not gonna make someone obese. Though I agree with the person earlier who mentioned that you don't have to be fat to be unhealthy, I'm pretty skinny but def not healthy!

And cooking fries in vegetable oils is not necessarily good, depending on the oil it might be very very bad as certain vegetable oils degrade in high temperatures and become toxic. I'd rather have something deep fried in lard than vegetable oil! (coconut fat would be the best option though - very healthy and tolerates high temps)

NO ONE (Except my husband) better EVER make a comment to me about how I'm raising my child or they will feel my wrath. It's not ANYONE'S business how I'm raising my daughter. I also think it's quite funny you compare obesity to Mc Donalds. Not everyone who eats Mc Donalds is obese. Not everyone who is obese has a reason like Mc Donalds. When you have your child you will see how ridiculous you sound for even questioning whether you should say something about nothing that pertains to you. If she was abusing her child, then yes - if she was just telling you about a treat her and her child have and you judge because she is 'obese' is ridiculous. You'll see.

My OH better not either

I wouldnt say anything simply because its not any of my business. I wouldnt personally give a 20week old mcdonalds but each to their own and i doubt very much it will make her child obese...

Connah is 2 and he has a mcdonalds every 2 weeks or so on a friday as a treat...everything in moderation...

well, if it's anyone it better only be him since he did help me make her. i don't have to worry about that though, he just rolls with the punches and listens to everything i say about her.

I don't think any of us are advocating big macs for 20 week old babies! The OP's colleague's baby is 20 months

Still hungry.....

 

[leahsbabybump]

i used to give my lo a treat once a week at that age and hes fit and healthy it would have either been chippy or mcd's

 

[Sarah&Ady]

No I wouldnt say anything.. I gave up worrying about what other people feed their kids a long time a go. It's just not worth it. Maybe one day we will all be sat in Mcadonalds and wondering what the fuss was about.... who knows xxx

When I was pregnant I really craved Mcdonalds nuggets so I went with my best friend and got a box of 20 ate about 5 and had enough. So I'm the shittest because my baby had Mcdonalds before she was even born.

 

[hattiehippo]

Tom's has Macdonald's or Burger King if we're travelling - he's a really fussy eater and often the only thing he will touch out of the options at a service station are a cake or chicken nuggets. At least the nuggets have got some protein in them!

And I have tried taking a packed lunch of things he likes with us.....he just isn't interested when there's lots of other exciting things to be looking at and doing.

To the OP I kind of understand where you're coming from - I was always seeing families in Macdonalds before I had Tom and thinking how could you take your children in there, mine will never do that, but then the reality of having a child hit and that totally changed my attitude. As long as your colleague isn't taking her child there every day then I don't see a problem...surely its nice for her and her daughter to have a treat they share together and look forward to.

Congrats on the crown of world's shittiest mom! I suppose the only way someone can take your title now is to conceive their LO in the McDonald's bathroom (although I'm sure it's already been done, anyone wanna admit? )

Conceive their baby in the bathroom whilst eating a big mac.

During my 12 week long daily vomiting, constant nausea of the 1st/2nd tri, maccy's cheese burgers were one of three things I managed to keep down (grapes and pombears were the other things). I purposely didn't have them too often, but I figured even the crap in a cheeseburger was better than not eating at all for 3 months! 5 nuggets is nothing to worry about!!
