Have you ever stood in line at the grocery store and looked at some ones cart and then proceeded to tell that person what you think of what they are buying? I hate it, people are so nosy where I live and are always doing this too me. I have an almost 18 month old son who gets WIC because he was a low birth weight full term baby, because of this my son will get WIC until he is 2. When I cash in one of his checks someone always has to comment. My son LIKES apple, oranges, pineapples, kiwi, mango, squash, onions, and so many other fruits and veggies. I have people look at me and say "That is for your son not for you, you need to get stuff he will eat." And I am sorry I am tired of being nice to people when they make comments like this. I find this not only out of place but rude.
When your a mother you get judged for everything. If you give your kids koolaid your a "bad parent." But if you get only fruits and vegetables and lean meats, then you are too restrictive and need to "loosen up." I think that we really need to change how people think about how we feed children and to make them see that your not "bad" if you give your child a serving of potato chips.
Sorry everyone but I needed to vent somewhere and everyone else tells me just to let it go but I can not go to the grocery store without hearing anything about it now. Thank you to all who listen!
