Millennial member of my family posts picture on social media of her toddler drinking out of dog bowl

I think dogs are gross but I think toddlers are hilarious. Even the ones that drink out of dog bowls.

My niece liked to sample cat food.

My sister ate dog food on more than one occasion (toddler during the 70s)

Well I guess a little rabies every now and then is harmless right?

OP, I don't think it's that big a deal. Your relative is young and dumb as a rock, but I don't think the child is in danger. So don't say anything; there's no point in saying anything.

I'm Gex X and my toddler eats cat food. It's his best day ever when he can get hold of some.

Her toddler was drinking out of one of their bowls and she took a picture of it and posted it on social media.
Her and her millennial friends on social media think it is cute and funny.
I think it is disgusting.

Should I say something to her about it?
In private of course.
Or should I scold her on her social media page in front of all of her friends?

What, precisely, do you want to say? "Your child is gross and disgusting?" "You are a bad parent and you are gross and disgusting?" Toddlers do all kinds of absolutely disgusting stuff, and they are hilarious. That is probably not even the grossest thing that kid did that day. If nothing else, he's getting licked by the dogs all the time.

Leave it, and her, alone OP.

I bet her kid is, and will continue to be, very healthy.

My mother took (and shared) a similar photo of me. In 1985.

I think might also be one of me eating dog food. Good times.

Not your kid. Not your dog. Not your choice. Bye.

+1. The fact that you want to publicly scold her and embarrass her in front of her friends says so much about you.
