If she has maids, then she can afford to give your son food that isnt spoiled. My suggestion is to find another babysitter, I would be upset about this, because this can cause your little son to get very sick and have food poison. Unfort. older people think things like this is fine, and your son is getting sick off of this, so this isnt healthy and could put your son in the hospital. I dont mean to be so harsh, but I would start looking around for another care taker-it might be more expensive, but it could be safer then this, because if she does this, what else could she be doing? Did you talk to your husband about this? Maybe he can talk to her, or sit her down and be strict about this. I live with my parents so whenever my parents do something with my daughter I dont like I put my foot down. They always give me the well we raised two kids and they turned out fine, and its true, but I dont feel comfortable, so I tell them no. You need to do the same thing, to me this isnt healthy.

That’s lovely of her, she won’t eat it so she’ll give it to your baby!?! This woman is mad. If she can afford several maids I’m sure she can afford to chuck away spoiled food, however expensive it was. You and your partner must make sure she understands how dangerous this is. I bet it’s a lot more dangerous for your baby than for a grown up (like her) to have this rotten food.
How about you give her all your son’s meals for the day when you drop him off? Then she won’t have to come up with her crazy recipes

I would tell her that if boiling makes it good again then you’d like to see her eat some of it. Then when (and if) she does, grab your son, tell her he’s not eating garbage–since that’s exactly what it is–and leave. I would NEVER leave my son alone with her again. You say you don’t have a choice, but what’s there to choose? Your son’s health or cheap/free “care” (and I use the term very loosely)? The crazy old bat should be nowhere near anyone’s children.

And what does your hubby have to say about all this? Let him deal with his mother and in the mean time find someone else to care for your child when you can’t. Don’t leave him alone with this woman anymore. Just because it is boiled doesn’t mean it is no longer spoiled. If it is so expensive, why doesn’t she boil it and eat it.

Have you spoken to your husband apout this if she is anything like my MIL she wont listen or change for me but will do anything for her darling son. If you can present a united front and warn her about her behavoiur you can start eigher getting her to be more sensible or getting your husbands head around finding alternative care for your son

you cant give a baby caviar!? old fish! no matter how bloody expensive it was! its not your problem she didnt eat in time! i bet she doesnt eat it past the best before date! what the hell is wrong with her? you should talk to her about it and only let her give him food that you have prepared yourself! make up lunch and supper in tupperware pots and make sure she gives him that and only that! he could get food poisoning! my mum had it really bad and ended up in hospital its not to be taken lightly! and she was a grown woman imagine what could happen to you young baby! i would have gone absolutely mental!

Obviously this woman is not fit to care for your child. You must make other childcare arrangements immediately. (She can pay for maids but not for extra baby food? Please.)

Just bring food for him to eat there. Tell her this is wat he is to eat – no exceptions. If she doesnt abide then please find another caregiver.
