Today, I got screamed at by a woman at work for feeding her 3-week-old infant formula instead of the bottled Kool-Aid that she packed. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, at work, I was taking a woman's measurements while she held her screaming baby. To silence the infant, she whipped out her breast right there and started feeding him. Moments later, he puked breast milk all over my desk. FML
Today, at daycare, a little girl cussed me out because I didn't have any apple juice left. When I called her parents, they sided with her and cussed me out too. My boss refused to sympathize, and reprimanded me for not making sure we still had apple juice. FML
Today, a woman started breastfeeding her infant in a restaurant. Disgusted, I told her to take it to the bathroom, as I was eating. In response, she squirted me with milk then went back to ignoring me. FML
Today, I was called a horrible excuse for a mother just for buying formula for my baby. I just don’t produce any milk of my own. FML
Today I left my 8-week-old with my brother so I could return to work. His wife took all the breast milk I'd packed out of the fridge and poured it out. According to her, it was “gross” and she didn’t want it near her food. My son is allergic to formula. FML
Today, at work, a woman screamed at me and called me a bitch because I refused to refund something we give away for free. FML
Today, I had to explain to a woman why she wasn't allowed to squeeze all the contents of the sample lotion bottle into her own bottle. She threw a fit, and dumped the whole bottle on my head. FML
Today, I found out my babysitter has been selling the breastmilk I produce for my baby and replacing it with formula, while still taking my money every week. FML
Today, someone drank a sip of my single serve pasteurized orange juice and put it back in the fridge, ignoring the whole jug of non-pasteurized juice, that I cant drink because im pregnant. I cried. FML
Today, my mother-in-law said, "I just find I'm not at all confident bottle feeding a baby, as I breastfed all of mine." Thank you for making me feel like s*** for me decision to bottle feed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

mixing pain killers and alcohol while driving and talking on the phone and eating watermelon is not so good either. Or so I have heard.

why is this three week old at a daycare anyway?

Possibly due to the lack of paid maternity leave and because someone needs to pay for babies diapers and Kool aide.

United States does not offer paid maternity leave/bonding time. Most every other industrialized nation does. Because its bloody important! In the op's country, you recover your surgery/body and go right back to work. Or take off work and lose money while you bond emotionally with a lifelong figure and take care of it while its totally helpless.

Thank god she wasn't granted maternity, the baby would be drinking kool-aide.

OP. I seriously hope you reported that dumbass about-to-kill-her-baby "mother" to the authorities. She obviously needs parenting classes before her ignorance kills her child.

Probably because you wasted her breast milk flavored kool aid she spent so much on special ordering. Follow orders op, that's what you get for thinking you know better then the child's mother.

I think OP would have noticed the difference between breast milk flavored koolaid and plain koolaid. At three weeks old, I can't imagine anyone counselling a mother to give the child koolaid flavored milk. OP has to follow her conscience, and in this case I think she does know better than the childs mother.

It makes you question what other poor choices she's making with that baby.

Why were you caring for someone elses child?

I'm just gonna take a wild guess here and say op works at some form of day care center.

Are you sure it was Kool-Aid and not Pedialyte?

I have a feeling that piece of shit mom thinks formula is too expensive so she feeds her baby kool aid instead. That way she can use the extra money saved from not having to buy formula on a new Coach purse and manicure.

Breast milk is free though. Cost should not be an excuse. I just think she's an undereducated young mother who doesn't know better. Not excusing her, just explaining.

Please don't... My stepmom has Munchaüsen's by proxy and fed the kids coke in their baby bottles. All their teeth have filling, they are as brittle as twigs and fat to boot. She only ever bought was she liked, Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper. Neither I can stand before or after her abuse. And I didn't live with her so I escaped a malnourished disaster.

My mom found it too cumbersome to pump, bottle, store, etc while working at a phone company where a bathroom break was disciplined. She bought powered formula and pump and dumped the real stuff.

CPS now, don't wait. If this is what the Mom thinks is acceptable outside the home, even worse could be going on inside the home.
