Are you kidding me?

Okay, so I normally don't judge parents because I firmly believe that one cannot say anything about another unless you've walked a mile in their shoes... but I make an exception with this one...

Today, at a restaurant, I saw a mother discretely nurse her child. I'm guessing this child was maybe one year old or slightly older. Anyhoo, shortly after she nursed the kid, I saw her hand the kid a french fry. I figured it was just something to distract the kid with, but no, it was for the baby to eat! WHAT!? Oh, and it gets worse... later I saw her spoon feed her baby Coke. Are you freakin' kidding me? What mother gives her child breastmilk followed by french fries and Coke????

ARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ummmm.... yeah. I'm not necessarily down with that. I have tried to feed B french fries, but she has no interest. I draw the line at soda until she's in high school.

On other fronts, I was pretty freaked out to see a toddler climb into his mother's lap, under her shirt, and undo her bra just to have a snack. It was great motivation to get B on bottles of 2% milk as soon as she turned one. It took a few extra months, but I hope she's forgotten by now...

Whoa - that's so not cool! Almost as freaky as that doll you posted... but not as much...
