Baby eating McDonalds - would you say anything?

[bumpy_j]

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.

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? )

erm the first time i got off with my OH was in a mcdonalds toilet when we were drunk on sangria in the middle of Windsor - they had ice in the urinals so we went to investigate whether they had them in the cubicle toilets and one awkward look led to another

Jacob loves mcdonalds! Aslong as the child isn't eating it everyday I see no issue

& now I want a double cheeseburger!

I'm suprise Lola doesn't look like a burger.I craved them soooo badly when pregnant that I...that I....that I would bribe dh into getting them for me by offering a bj in exchange for one...oh the shame xx

My ds has had the very occasional mac donalds since he was about 2 and a half. I thought it was also going to be about a baby of 6 months. I dont see there being a problem personally especially since its shared! I wouldnt do it once a week but i certainly would never say anything.

one of my close friends is obese and thats cause she has a thyroid problem, Ellie is only 10 month old and she chomped on a few mcd's chips when I go there prob once in a blue moon but I was addicted to big macs when I was pregnant lol!!! but no I think you should keep it to yourself and not say anything, none of us mummies are perfect and is people were to judge you and comment you would be hurt (well maybe I dont know but I know I have been hurt loads of times with people judging when they dont know anything about Ellie) xx

I think just to prevent offending your colleague its best to keep quiet but I see your point a little, at this moment in time i wouldnt dream of giving harry a mcds, that is because he is 8 months and im a little paranoid about junk food etc, however who knows how i might feel when hes 20 months. We're all in the same boat here so i wouldnt feel right judging another mother, unless she was doing something to cause immediate harm to her lo, only in that case would i intervene

I want a big mac meal now

I'm sure this has been covered in 13 pages but.....No, there is not tactful way to say it and its none of your business TBH. Definately not

[x__amour]

McDonalds in my town is shut down right now because they're rebuilding. MMMM fries & some nuggets sound fab!

 

[x__amour]

Mmm, yes it does! I've got a 24 hour one literally right next to me! But I ate a brownie and I'm stuffed. Maybe tomorrow.

Is it wrong that this thread has made me hungry for a burger - at 4am!! I hardly ever eat mcdonalds and i'm not sure I'd be giving it to my lo at that age but I definitely wouldn't say anything to your friend about it. There are some things in this life that we just should bite our tongues about and parenting choices are one of them, unless the behaviour is abusive. Weekly junk food may not be great but it's not the worst thing in the world either. All you can do is bring up your kids the way you believe is right, I'd be very upset if anyone ever questioned any of our choices no matter how well intentioned they were. Having said that we do all judge based on our own views - I saw a programme called junk food babies where parents were living off takeaways and their kids never ate healthy homecooked food - it was shocking! But this sounds quite far removed from that type of extreme.

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.

Oh don't fool yourself. People around you ARE judging you, they just aren't saying it to your face. I think it's kind of rude to classify my as 'judgmental' for one opinion I might have. I'm sure you've never judged anyone for something they do that you don't agree with, right? Pleeeeeease! 'I'm glad people around me aren't so hypocritical'...even if you don't say it out loud you judge people too, and I haven't said anything out loud, I was just looking for impartial opinions. Anyway I obviously know what the general opinion is and won't be bringing this up with my friend, so this is the last time I'll post in this thread...some people were very nice and helpful but many others took it to a far more personal level than I expected.

There are obviously people on here who give their children the odd mcdonalds. When you berate someone for how they raise their kids it IS very personal. Our children are the most precious thing ever to us and any bad remarks on the decisions we make as parents are going to be hurtful whether directed towards us or not. I'm sure you'll understand when you're a parent too. half the preconceived ideas I had when pregnant about what I would and would not do went right out the window when she was born, haha.

I wouldnt say anything, me and a mummy friend took our LOs on a shopping day the other day and got kfc for lunch we happily shared some of our chips and chicken with our LOs, its not something we would do often we only do big shopping trips every couple months so its a rare treat for them BTW it would of been mcdonalds but the queue for maccy ds was out the doors so we had to settle for kfc xx
