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

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?

I really hate when mothers don't inform theirselves about feeding a child. It's common sense the baby should be on formula or breast milk for 6 months only. If it's about money, I am pretty sure WIC and other government assistances can help. Heck, breast milk is free and I didn't pay a dime on formula. The only time I used it was when I worked and I used the huge samples I got from one company for a month until I was able to save milk for her.

After the kid is 5 mos old the mom will upgrade to mountain dew and Monster drinks.

I wouldn't drink baby formula that old either!! If the BABY is only 3 weeks, that is waaaay too much sugar for a mostly napping baby. She wants an obese child. I've read even 100% juices have too much naturally occurring sugar, called fructose, for kids. So every bottle with x% real juice and the rest is sugars/corn syrup and water is right off the charts!!!

Ok, I'm going to play devil's advocate here, but has anyone else ever gone 3 full weeks without more than 20 minutes of sleep at a time for days on end? Maybe, just maybe, she has an older child who she was also packing lunch for and screwed up? Is anyone seriously dumb enough to pack koolaid for a newborn? Unless the damn woman never turned on a radio, tv, or Internet and had the baby w/out any dr assistance, she would know better. Maybe the mom was nursing or had special allergy type formula and was mad because nobody thought to call her and just ASSUMED she was psycho? Just my first thought here...

While it is considerate of you to try to give this crazy mother the benefit of the doubt, based on the wording of the FML, I highly doubt she got mixed up. With the wording of the FML, it seems that she specifically screamed at OP for not giving her 3 week old the Kool-Aid. It seems as if she most likely started to yell at OP upon receiving the bag she had packed for the baby. She probably noticed that the Kool-Aid that she packed was still there and then proceeded to explode on OP. If this is the case, I hope OP called CPS to save that poor child. I honestly hope she was mixed up though, because no baby deserves to be mistreated because its mother is beyond stupid.

Have you ever even been outside? Human stupidity is boundless. Also, why the **** would someone pack Kool-Aid for an older child in a baby bottle? A child young enough to still be drinking from a bottle should NOT have that much sugar.

I thought maybe it was pedialyte same dies sugars and bonus added salt as kool aid however pedialyte is only recommend for children twelve mons + unless specifically directed by doctor.. I have to have a prescription permission slip signed by doc to feed my 15 Mon old son whole milk in daycare instead of skim milk. op tell mom you need a paper signed by the doctor to feed that child whatever was in the bottle.

Did she tell you "Kool story, bro", when you tried to tell her why this is wrong?

If you work at a daycare you have a legal obligation to report her to the authorities. If you're a baby-sitter you have a moral obligation to report her to the authorities. Do the right thing. I'm a foster parent, and see a lot of neglect and abuse. This baby needs help and you are in the position to do it.
