Little rant

So my daughter isn’t 4 months old yet. We went out it to dinner yesterday and I gave her a bottle and everything right before. Well I’ve stated numerous times not to feed my baby other food. She gets constipated and upset tummy very easily. She could also be allergic to something and she’s very sensitive right now. I don’t know how many times I’ve said don’t feed my baby food. Her pediatrician even said she’s only supposed to have formula and then purées at 6 months. I’ve said that. Well my MIL starts giving her mashed potatoes and sneaking and giving her tastes of other things and I’m eating and talking to my SO and don’t even realize it till a few minutes after, I’m like “she can’t have that stuff please don’t feed her.” I didn’t know that I’d have to babysit my other people with my baby! Well I walk away to go get some more food and my SIL gave my baby chocolate icing and god knows what else. As soon as I walked away! She had chocolate all over her bib. Then they were trying to get my daughter to take her pacifier to nap and they were like “dip the pacifier in water” and then nobody had water and I was like “she doesn’t want the pacifier, you don’t need drops of water on it” and then my MIL dips it in soda!!! I was like no she’s not getting that, it has soda all over it! You’d think since I’m her mom and I told them rules that they’d listen. Nope. I just felt super disrespected and like I wasn’t even my baby’s mother. I can’t even trust them to listen to anything I say. Like chocolate and soda really?! I freaked. I took my daughter and held her for the rest of the time and just wanted to leave. People wanted to hold her and I was like sorry no. I don’t get people these days and not respecting parents decisions and rules. My SO will even say things and his mom thinks that just because she’s his mom and that she’s raised kids that she doesn’t have to listen. I can’t keep her away because that’s my SO’s mom and he wouldn’t let me do that but I’m not gonna be disrespected. Even where I can supervise her she still does dumb things. I know some of you have started your babies on baby food because they are ready but my daughter isn’t ready and not even interested and I was told to wait till 6 months to start baby foods. Not start her on our food we eat and chocolate/sweets!!
