… I can’t be the only one who would have straight up told her to FUCK OFF… you don’t owe anyone an explanation.
7,309,002
mommit
I despise unsolicited advice.
7,309,003
mommit
All my babies went thru constipation around that age. I hope she gets over it quickly xo
7,309,004
mommit
I find a very confused “what? Who are you?!?!” (Pull your kid closer to you cause obviously this person is slightly unhinged to be behaving this way) And look at them like they have 5 heads gets the point across nothing I’m doing is up for discussion. And rinse repeat. What?!? Do I know you? Who are you?
7,309,005
mommit
Wow, what an absolute twat waffle. I’m sorry she felt her opinion mattered so much, you’re doing great!
7,309,006
mommit
Never defend yourself again. It only validates accusation. Ignore completely or tell them to worry about their own child.
7,309,007
mommit
I’m so sorry, people can just be so fucking rude. I would have made a scene and been like IT’S FOR ME, I NEED TO SHIT!
7,309,008
mommit
2 drops of dark Karo syrup in her bottle. I promise will do the trick with no belly ache. Also, fuck that lady. You do you boo, but karo syrup worked for my baby and all my friends babies. Good luck mama!
7,309,009
mommit
You were very kind during this interaction. I would not have been so nice. On another note, prune pouches. Works amazing.
7,309,010
mommit
Hit her with the: ohh did you graduate with your medical degree in Pediatrics? No? *Then keep it moving then, Karen.*
7,309,011
mommit
Honestly fuck her. But I’d say apple over pear juice, apple always made my boys poop pretty easily when backed up.
7,309,012
mommit
I think I would’ve lost my mind. But pear juice did always work me! So hopefully it does for you too. Also when my oldest was that age and constipated I would feed him prunes cut up really small and he thought they were so good (little weirdo- but at that age they’re sweet and soft so I think they don’t mind the weird ...
7,309,013
mommit
We really gotta start cussing these types of people out. It doesn’t even have to be anything major, a simple “fuck off” should do it but if they get particular rowdy, i’m willing to match their energy at this point. I’m tired of it.
7,309,014
mommit
UGH I'm sorry. Last week someone told me that I "need to start saying no" to my 2 year old. Like its possible to have a 2 year old and NOT say no to them.
7,309,015
mommit
How is that not her first thought?? Clearly she's always just in argumentative mode that there's no instinct to take a step back and assume such a baseline kindness.
7,309,016
mommit
My first thought. She was definitely a Karen.
7,309,017
mommit
Or maybe I just like juice.
7,309,018
mommit
Excellent point!
7,309,019
mommit
This!
7,309,020
mommit
How did she open her mouth to talk to a complete stranger? My energy is all taken by my one child I swear I cannot focus on what others are doing.
7,309,021
mommit
Lmfao yessss!! I had an abusive ex that was being particularly nasty one night so I threw a glass of milk in his face and he said (in utter shock) “What did you do that for!!?” And I said “Well you were acting like a baby and I thought you may have needed feeding.” Sorry, off topic but your comment reminded me of that ...
7,309,022
mommit
Oh shit I love this
7,309,023
mommit
Right? she’s real lucky that INFANT was with me and is basically a tape recorder. That is always our go to & generally works, but since having to change formulas since you know.. that whole mess, lol! It didn’t work this time.
7,309,024
mommit
>At this point in the pandemic and being a parent of 2 under 2 id say fuck it and fight her lol. Girl, SAME. Two 2 year olds and a third on the way, I'd have no hesitation going off on someone trying to tell me how to parent lol. I have zero patience for that at this point.
7,309,025
mommit
Yeah at this point in my life I’m so exhausted I feel like if something like this didn’t just paralyze me it would completely set me off. Like full on slap a hoe wassup bish I’ve been to jail Edit: I have not, in fact, been to jail. But Karen probably wouldn’t know that
7,309,026
mommit
I second the prune pouches!
7,309,027
mommit
Lol to this comment. Solidarity 2 under 2! Kiwi also works for us. Good luck!
7,309,028
mommit
That worked on my son 2 days ago... him, my mom and me were covered in 4 days worth of shit
7,309,029
mommit
for real I would fight that bitch too
7,309,030
mommit
I’m about to be in this boat (they’ll be 11 months apart) and I give zero fucks about some hags opinion and will fight her lmao
7,309,031
mommit
That’s what I was thinking. We see numerous people acting like idiots out in public, but why is a Mom buying juice worthy of losing your shit over? It probably wasn’t about the juice. Maybe the lady who went off on OP snacks on lead paint chips.
7,309,032
mommit
Best line I've ever heard...100% going to use it!
7,309,033
mommit
Beyond being incredibly rude and cruel, it's also nonsensical. What the hell did she expect a foster parent to feed a baby?! Did she really think CPS would wait to place an infant in dire need with a foster parent who happened to be breastfeeding enough to nourish two children?? And what the hell was the baby supposed ...

Well GotDamn! “Clean up in Aisle 3 Clean up in Aisle 3. Seriously. There’s a load of shit in Aisle 3. I can’t get past it. Pleeeeasssseee.” As loud as you can-some kinda movement is gonna happen.

I loled.
7,309,037

Just a heads up bananas can cause constipation and/or make it worse. I use strained pear with my LO or strained prunes. If I can get a whole pouch in him it still usually takes until the next day because it has to make its way to digestive track. Prunes and pears soften stool, they don’t cause poop contractions like so...
7,309,038
mommit
I totally recommend blueberries. Bananas and citrus for some reason made it worse for my kids, and if it was bad already the p-fruits (pears, prunes) didn’t do much.
7,309,039
mommit
I added a half tsp of mineral oil to the dark karo syrup and a little oatmeal when major impact issues came my way with my daughter now 33 and my granddaughter now 3. And warm terry washcloth tummy rubs. Occasional Vaseline digit up the bum helps to top it off. Usually took about a day for things to get moving.
7,309,040
mommit
Have you tried Miralax? My baby was having some poop issues and so my pediatrician told me that we can use Miralax if the natural solutions don’t work. It’s also safe for 6m+. Here’s a good website about dosage and such http://www.plateaupediatrics.com/pages/2014/9/16/using-miralax-for-your-childs-constipation

Try fresh pomegranate juice. Not sure how easy it is to find where you are but that shit sends even me running to the bathroom
7,309,042
mommit
I think she may have been in the aisle when I was trying to calm baby down and I told her “I’m hurry baby, I gotta grab you juice.” Probably why the dirty look during the first pass.
7,309,043
mommit
Fuck that. " Alright lady, glove up and you can get the shit out since you know better "
7,309,044
mommit
I’m so amazed by the patience of people on the receiving end of things like this. I’d have told her to f right off so fast.
7,309,045
mommit
I was so baffled I couldn’t even think of a witty comment at the time.
7,309,046
mommit
I believe she was behind me in the aisle as I was trying to calm my LO down. I had told her “I’m hurrying. We gotta get you juice.” Which is why I think she gave me the first dirty look as she walked by.

I believe she was in the aisle as my LO was having a meltdown and I told her “I’m hurrying, I gotta get you this juice.” Which is why I think she walked by and gave me the nasty look and then came right back to tell me I was a horrible human.
7,309,050
mommit
Was so baffled I was trying to keep my composure. My LO is currently a tape recorder. Can you imagine the judgment if my 10.5 old someone “go fuck yourself” in the grocery store?
7,309,051

Old ladies are the WORST!

Ugh so true. I struggled with hyperemesis to the point I had ivs and everything. With hyperemesis you often have a “your drink or your food” for a couple weeks my drink was coke. We were in a restaurant and some old hag walked up and told me my kid was going to be a “retard” because I was an even bigger one drinking ca...

We have. She absolutely refuses prunes. I even tried to make her prune pasta

I was in TJMAX one day, and as always the line was super long. This mom had twin boys about 3 and they were starting to get impatient, so she hands them her phone.

I second that Karo syrup fix.
7,309,061
mommit
Karo worked for my kids, too! Usually within the hour.
7,309,062
mommit
Her pediatrician recommended pear because it had a higher sugar content so hopefully would move the process along faster. If she hasn’t gone by tomorrow afternoon I’ll try the apple.
7,309,063

mommit
Okay I know (again) you didn’t ask but we knew our second had a protein sensitivity because his poop was rick solid the few times he even poop in his first 2 weeks so if you switched to one with more casein or less broken down that could be why. Or one with palm oil. The first time we gave him a 100% whey bottle his po...
7,309,067
mommit
Yea! This was our recommended route too from doc. Worked great.
7,309,068
mommit
Same! I don’t get where people think that it’s okay to do stuff like this. Like who raised you?
7,309,069
mommit
Well, despite all that she’s not entitled to get involved. You’re only doing what you can for your lil one. I hope it works, drastic times call for drastic measures. The pediatrician knows what’s up! This woman just has nothing better to do than lecture strangers. A busy body Karen, if you ask me.
7,309,070
mommit
So here’s a person who sees a mum having a bit of a tough time in the shop and thinks hey why don’t I pile onto that to really make her feel like shit. Sounds like a real nice lady!
7,309,071
mommit
Oh…well then a “I’m sorry you’re having a shitty day, no need to take it out on me” prolly will work far better
7,309,072
mommit
Ah jeez. Well I hope the pears help. But what is prune pasta ?! Lol
7,309,073
mommit
It’s always the way! Part of the reason I love Reddit is the dialogue people provide for situations. It helps to have heard something prior to whip out when you need.

We have an old lady in town who was a midwife/baby nurse from the 1950s until she retired in the 90s/00s. The old woman takes great joy in giving 'advice' to people with prams. Anything from the food in your shopping basket to how wrapped up the baby is. God help you if baby isn't wearing a hat. OP probably did have t...
7,309,075
mommit
I had a pro-Roe pin on my bag while at the store with my baby and a random older woman nastily said to my baby that “mommy thinks it’s ok to kill babies, how cute!” so…. I believe the OP lol. Some people are unhinged and have no boundaries.
7,309,076
mommit
Came here to say this lol
7,309,077
mommit
Hahaha sorry yes my grammar and wording is shite - that’s absolutely what I meant
7,309,078
mommit
That’s also her problem & we switched to what we could find that the pediatrician recommended and it didn’t do well at all. We’re hoping to make it to 11.5 months with what we were able to get & may have to switch to whole milk early.
7,309,079
mommit
So she doesn’t really eat purées anymore, so for lunch or snacks I’ll sometimes make some veggie noodles and use the pouches as sauce. She LOVES pasta. She’s in for a rude awakening when she’s older and realizes I’ve been giving her the healthy pasta all along.

I had some old bitch make a comment at me while I was shopping. My son was 2, very active and curious toddler that had to touch EVERYTHING. He was trotting ahead of me and trying to get every toy that caught his eye. I'd tell him " we aren't here for toys buddy, put it back," he'd put it back and instantly to another ...

I feel like that is more common with the older generation. But the older generation that would be hurling comments and advice like that are generally pro juice. At least all the older folks in my life keep hounding me about giving my baby juice since he was like 3 months old. No juice just gives me a more “had kids...

I have a friend’s mother who followed a person home to call the police on her because she didn’t have socks on her baby in 65 degree weather.

I had an old lady stop me outside the grocery store and ended up lecturing me because I was wearing my 13 month old and according to her that was too much coddling to wear a "toddler" and parents like me are the reason "kids don't grow up".
7,309,084
mommit
Urg. That's pretty shitty, but does also unfortunately somewhat slot into how I think some in the religious right might operate. They have a very strong opinion and are willing to be pretty shameless about it (picketing clinics, harassing people getting abortions, etc). Having a crazy opinion on juice though? So muc...
7,309,085
mommit
Oh man, good luck. For us prunes and pears are okay-ish but the thing that really gets them moving are blueberries!
7,309,086
mommit
This is actually quite brilliant and I will remember this in the next year and a half. (I’m currently 14 weeks) I used to give my kids very very watered down apple juice. The first time they had full apple juice they lost their minds. Edited to add though; who *doesn’t* love pasta? Lol. Pasta is so tasty.
7,309,087
mommit
It’s ok. That lady had more time than him and she still hadn’t learned.
7,309,088

That woman is just asking to get slapped.

It’s the Dubai desert. That’s the sky not water. You’re right though it is hard to tell. You need to make a trip to both when Covid is over.
7,309,090
mommit
How is she not covered in sand? It’s like I’m witnessing a miracle.
7,309,091
mommit
Is this a beach or like a desert? I’ve never been to either before, so I can’t really tell.

She is just absolutely precious! I love the way you did her hair with the pink bow. I want a girl too, I have a little boy right now
