I don't know if I'm too emotional or what but my baby is 2 months old & my step FIL decided to give my girl a tiny finger of frosting. Knowing he wasn't supposed to be because he looked around the room seeing if anyone seen. I don't want people giving her anything she's not supposed to & i also feel like he just took that moment from me & dad. Am I wrong? I can't talk about it anywhere else & its been on my mind all night long because I'm so upset. & I'm not allowed to be.

Call him out. The fact that he knew what he was doing and did it anyway. Tell him that he broke trust and you expect better from someone at his age. Doesn’t matter if it’s “innocent” food- I can’t imagine having the audacity to do this. Stand up for yourself and for your child. Always. Even if you’re nervous, even if your voice shakes- never be afraid to be seen as a bitch when it comes to safety and boundaries. If you let this slide, don’t be surprised when it continues and gets worse.

Honestly, no one should do anything without your approval. If it were my baby I’d be furious. Perhaps you could ask your partner to speak to him and make sure he doesn’t do something silly like that again.

I’d be fuming too. Your other half should say something and if not I’d literally not let them alone again.

Are you wrong? Of course you’re not wrong, wether your child is 2 months old or 2 years old, if you don’t want someone doing something with your child they should NOT be doing it, no matter what it is. It’s insane to be giving a baby frosting? You’re responsible for keeping your baby safe; and that means controlling what other people do with your child. No means no
