Is my SIL overreacting?

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people here who AREN'T parents.

Agreed. I'm always super suspicious of posters who claim to be childless (and not pregnant/TTC). If that's the case, what in the world are you doing on this website in the first place...? My child-free friends have never even heard of DCUM.

Anyone can post on this website, child free or not.

Of course. But if I didn't have children I would never even know this site existed. If OP is real then she needs to spend more time focusing on her own life and not on a forum related to a life she doesn't have.

Yup, but she's a troll. Not only frequenting a 'general parenting' board, but using SIL, etc. Who the hell is childless, goes to a parenting board AND knows the lingo? Troll.

My SIL (her mother) came in and how me do this and immediately flipped out. She told me not to feed her daughter food out of my mouth. I told her it’s not a big deal. She said it was and that she doesn’t know where my mouth has been (RUDE!). I said my mouth is clean and she’s my niece. She said well she’s NOT your daughter. Then she said when you have your own kids you can give them food out of your mouth, but don’t you DARE ever do that with my child again! I couldn’t believe it, I was so upset that I was in tears. I really think she overreacted. Should I tell my brother about this?

Do you have any kids of your own? I doubt it, that's the only way you could be so obtuse.

My kid's pediatrician dissuaded me from slipping my finger in my mouth before breaking my kid's latch because she said the human mouth has more germs than our butts do.

Maybe she's a nanny/daycare provider/otherwise involved in childcare? I am a nanny and read the Gen Parenting Forum as well as a few others (I like the "what should I name my kid" threads in Expectant Moms).

I suppose she could still be trolling, but I don't think she stumbled across DCUM accidentally either.

OP here, I use to work PT at a daycare center during college. Now, I'm a Kindergarten teacher so I'm use to being around children.

In addition, if you knew about some of my SIL's freak outs, you would understand why my mom and I are constantly complaining to my brother about her. He's made her apologize to us on several occasions.

You are SO full of shit, trolly polly. But if you are for real, let's hope that SIL sees this thread and documents it. It will be very useful for her in her custody case against your brother, when she divorces him and needs to make sure neither he (nor his family) are given unsupervised access to her daughter.

Best of luck to you in growing up! I can see why you are childless and unattached, yourself.

OP, this woman will be the mother of his firstborn child FOREVER. FOR.EV.ER. That makes her just as much a part of his family as you and your mother, hopefully a little bit more so, and no matter how psycho you think your SIL is, the ONLY way for there to be peace with this child and for your brother is for you and your mom to back off. Maybe SIL is off her rocker, I don't know, but how is negating her wishes and tattling on her to your brother and otherwise acting like a child yourself going to fix that? Would you prefer they divorce and have a nasty drawn out custody battle, where he might not get to see his kid very often? Or where SIL spends all her time badmouthing you to the child so by the time she's 5, 6, 7 this baby wants nothing to do with you? If she is as crazy as you claim that is a very real possibility.

Grow the F up and think about everyone else in this scenario and how your behavior can HELP them. Then, do that.

Glad to hear that - I certainly wouldn't want her to be a Kindergarten teacher with those grammar skills.

I would not want someone feeding my child their saliva.
