[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my god.  I can't believe everyone is reacting this way.  ITS NOT A BIG DEAL.  Seriously.  Babies put everything in their mouth.  Crumbs off the floor, dirty toys, their grimy hands, etc etc.  OP, I would've been shocked at my SIL's reaction as well.

That being said, your SIL does get to choose what is and isn't appropriate.  She could've been a little calmer about it though, and you could've just said Okay, apologized, and moved on.

Also-- when you say you bit it in half and fed it to her, you mean, you handed her the other half, right?
You don't mean you like, gave her the chewed up one in your mouth?   Or fed it to her, mouth to mouth?  Because that would be kind of weird.[/quote]

The big deal is in not respecting a mother's wishes, completely aside from giving her a piece of fruit you bit, or giving her an Oreo when the kid isn't supposed to have sweets, or letting her have cheerios off the ground when the mom is germphobe, etc etc. It's about a sister-in-law (WITHOUT KIDS, no less, so someone that has NO CLUE how it feels like to be charged with protecting a little life) who thinks she is within her rights to contradict and override what the baby's mom thinks about the baby's care. Look, this mom sounds like a caring mother who may be (is probably? is definitely?) overprotective. So what? When it comes to my kids, so am I. And if someone had the gall to get in my face about the decisions I make about my child, I'd be just as angry as this OP's SIL is.

By the way, OP, you sound pathetic when you admit that you complain to your bro on a frequent basis about your SIL. Seriously? Do you not have your own life to live? You own boyfriend? Your own friends? Your bro is married, and like it or not, believe it or not, accept it or not, he loves his wife more than he loves you. Get over it. [/quote]
