[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually do know a grandparent who was cut off for “feeding the baby strawberries” (it wasn’t strawberries). I know both the parents and the grandparents in this situation so it wasn’t a one sided narrative.

Baby was diagnosed severely, anaphylaxis-allergic to “strawberries”. Grandparent didn’t “believe in” allergies, said they were all about this generation being too controlling with what the kids eat and her grandson wasn’t growing up never having a “strawberries” sandwich.

Even though her grandson was hospitalized after that event, even though he could have died if EMS hadn’t responded within minutes, even though she had been told upward of a hundred times (and agreed!) not to feed him “strawberries” she still tells everyone her evil, controlling DIL cut her off “just” for feeding her grandson “strawberries”.[/quote]

Wow! That grandma should be happy with just being cut off and not maimed. [/quote]

Agree, but just look back in the thread and you see someone saying the parents who “need to control everything that passes their child’s lips” need therapy. I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s the same woman I know to be honest.

The thing is— she isn’t lying. It’s true she was cut off for feeding the baby “strawberries”. But people hear that uncritically and extrapolate that parents today are petty and quick to cut people off.[/quote]

Yup. In-laws basically cut themselves off (pretty sure they are waiting for us to apologize for “being ungrateful”) after it came out that they lied and hid from us that they feed our son a food he was intolerant to. So they can go around saying we cut them off for feeding it to him but in reality it’s over their history of undermining our parenting in front of our child, constant belittling, lashing out when we decline to do things their way, ignoring safety rules, and on and on. And out second child is anaphylactic allergic to a different food so we can never trust them to watch him. [/quote]
