Neglectful mom?

I was accused of being a neglectful mother by my Mexican mother in law (I’m Indian and Cuban) because I don’t feed my child any “vegetables at breakfast” weird thing because I don’t know anyone who eats veggies for breakfast. This person told me my daughter would have diabetes from me feeding her so many sweets, I am so confused 😐, she rarely eats sweets if it’s outside of breakfast and eats veggies for lunch or dinner. Daughter is a picky eater and likes Splenda on her fruits in the morning.

This is the breakfast in question. Banana pancake with a fried egg and kiwi and strawberry

This is an example of what she has for dinner

BBQ chicken thigh with jasmine rice and sautéed broccoli

This woman is making me paranoid, do you moms think I’m over doing it? Or feeding her unhealthy? I try my best to balance it out for a picky eater

Girl, you are Martha Stewart compared to my household. My daughter does not eat vegetables for breakfast. Usually oatmeal or cereal. And if it helps your argument, I’m an RN and my husband is a family medicine physician so if your MIL wants to come at me for neglect instead, I’ll send her my address. 😉

Ignore it lol. As long as your little one is getting some daily fruits and veggies I’d say you are doing just fine! People just love to stick their nose in, especially mother-in-laws!!

Fruits are vegetables. Just throw that at her. Seriously, probably the kid that gives you most of headaches us her kid, so just ignore her. You're a a good mom and you're feeding your kid right.
