What should I say ?
Since our 2 year old was born my fiance has had his opinions about me as a mother. Maybe I'm not breastfeeding him right, etc. And we go above and beyond with our sons nutrition. We flow what the pediatrician tells us to the t. And we were out of town and when we got back, there wasn't that much produce. So for dinner, our son ate and he was full and started throwing a tantrum. So I calmed him down and decided he should go do another activity. I completely forgot I was going to give him the last fruit we had and then go grocery shopping in the morning. My fiance asked me if I gave him a fruit and I said I forgot because he threw a tantrum and it slipped my mind. He proceeded to ask me. Why I don't care about his sons diet? Diet?really? And I explained again. And told him that these statements he keeps making aren't ok because they're not true. I just can't believe I have to defend myself as his mom who isn't perfect but love him and does everything I can but I'm human. And then he gets frustrated and starts to use a stern voice about how there's an apple there and he needs to eat a fruit and this and that and we know that and it's laziness and I don't care because that's what I'm showing since I didn't give him the fruit. And I should own up to it and fix it (as he was cutting the apple). I said yeah it slipped my mind and he proceeded but what bothered me was his approach. As if he's so perfect and to question me as a mom? All he could have said was hey did you give him a fruit ? Can you give him a fruit.next time or ask me for help. Anything but asking me why I don't care. I got so upset because he started getting loud and I was starting to get loud and honestly I don't question him as a father or what he does. How would you deal with this ? Did I do something wrong ? I made all his meals today and man it's just really sad that I make one mistake out of the whole day and I get accused of not caring.
