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

Turn her ass in op se obviously doesn't know how to be a parent

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.

I really hope you were telling a bad joke 94

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.
