Enlighten me

Am I the a**hole for not feeling respected as a mother as by my husbands family and not wanting my baby alone with her aunt . So hers the story line I cam back from grocery shopping and my sister-in - law and we’re cooking . We were talking about my ALMOST 6 month old eating food .. So she then tells me her husband and husband’s cousin gave my daughter a taste of honey . I’m like what she can’t have that she’s too young . Then she responds saying oh next time I’m not going to tell you and I was just like excuse me !! I’m her mother you have to tell me . And right now I just feel like as soon as I get home I need to have a talk with her father because if this shit going to be happening behind my back I feel like I won’t let her watch her . Then she the audacity to say I’m Americanized and that out culture does it and I’m like I may be born here but my mom wasn’t and she tell you that’s a no.

Regardless of how she feels about your ideas, what you say when it comes to the your child should be what goes. I had to put my foot down with my family about that, I’m all for raising my child with my culture but something that could make him sick or kill him is a no no. We’re not on the island they’ll take you to prison with the quickness.

@Danyel thank you because honestly I’m not with that and I’m still pretty pissed

lol what? This is wicked. Has she heard of a little thing called botulism? I would never leave baby with them again.

U have every right to be mad. I would be too. Definitely talk to him. Did u let her know how u feel. They have to respect ur boundaries

@Kily I did tell her she needs to tell me what you feed my daughter because she’s my daughter she’s not at a age where she’s eating anything

Honey isn’t like normal food. It’s not recommended until over a year because of botulism, can be very serious. That aside, you have a right to have a say. I wouldn’t trust them w baby alone again.

@Megan yes I’d definitely wouldn’t and this is why. I did tell my husband that definitely there is a conversation that needs to be had because the response that I got back wasn’t oh no I’m sorry I didn’t know that she couldn’t have it it was more of a oh I’m not gonna tell you next time
