No your not I. The wrong
There’s a few thjnfs here.
She could of approached the suitstion differently when you explained this was what you had left and couldn’t find she should of left it there

When you did buckle and asked to money she should of paid

Howe ever if you ask me she wanted to turn up to her other friends and look like a hero for magically finding this formula if you ask me

I’d always help another child out if I can. But never at a detriment to my own child.

Man what… those last 3 cans will go fast , you absolutely are not being selfish. Always put you and yours first.

If my “friend” yelled at me in my house I’d tell her to get the fuck out and don’t come back

She must hate you. Seriously. Never heard of a friend that says, acts or does weird shit like that. The fact that it has you feeling guilty is also kind of strange. You. Need boundaries mama, don’t set the tone for ppl to be comfortable to get at you like that.

That’s a shitty friend aye. Get rid of that negativity. Your kids come first ! Might have been diff if it was her own baby. Don’t even feel bad at all.

Absolutely not . Your baby comes first and it was to give to a stranger . Than to have the nerve to want it for free…

I would selfishly have asked them to leave and not to come back. I hope you didn’t end up giving her anything and your son has plenty until you can manage to find more.

Hope u didn’t give it to her

Nope not wrong at all. You only have 3 cans left and haven’t been able to find the kind your son drinks. I would say your friend is being very selfish by trying to take food from your baby.

With friends like these, who needs enemies

Wow. Get real friends. Nobody is obligated to share anything. Everyone is responsible for their own child. Help comes from ones who want to help/can help. If I had a baby and have 5 whole cases, I’d keep it all. No way knowing when the shortage will stop. It’s every parents responsibility to provide for their own children.

Nope, after that first reaction of hers, she really isn’t a friend. Then you actually say yes and she has the guts to demand it free. Nope you arnt in anyway wrong. Carry on with yourself :slight_smile: leave that fake friend be. She showed her true colours

Toxic friend needs to talk to someone about her personal issues.

You are not selfish! You went and got it for your baby her friend can do the same.

Your “friend” honestly overstepped and should have never asked. If she’s so worried maybe she should go look for them for you and her friend :fu:t3:

You did good mama! :heart:

Not wrong, that’s not a friend, I’m all for helping others but my kids and family come first always. I plan to breastfeed and will donate if possible, but only if I have the extra. I have donated to 8 other babies in the past before this whole formula issue :woman_shrugging:

Lol what. That person that Fcuk right off

You are most certainly not wrong !!! I was raised you take care of family first then if there is “overflow” that’s when you can help others. Asking for it for free was absolutely selfish…not much of a friend if you ask me.

She is not your friend. You’re not wrong at all. She is out of line.

Absolutely not wrong. The only obligation you have is to your son. You do not owe the friend formula, nor do you owe her an explanation. Keep up the good job, mama bear :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Your not responsible for someone else’s baby, period!!! I’d not call that person your friend either for the disrespect.

What a terrible woman.

She isn’t a friend let her go

I will choose my children before I choose anyone else or their children. Regardless of whether anyone else believes it fair or not.

Your “friend” was way out of line. I’d reconsider that friendship.
Maybe she should go on the hunt for some formula for her friends baby.
How does she look taking food from one baby for another? The shortage is effecting all the children. Not just that one persons child specifically.

I don’t think you’re selfish. Put in the same position, I’m not taking food literally out my own children mouth to feed someone else. Not happening. Not today, not tomorrow, not EVER. This formula shortage is no joke right now. So I would have said no. Firmly and without hesitation. Not when I have no clue when I will be able to find more right now.

No way i think she has a hide. I mean wanting it for another friend just because you have 3 tins. I actually think she was rude to ask. Fair enough if it was a dire situation. But to just spot it in your pantry and ask. Nope

3 cans and a starving baby? She should have paid yes. Are you in America? Shipments are on their way no?

Absolutely not wrong. All the babies need help, but if she can’t even pay you for it, no. You had to pay for it. She is no better.

Oh wow no your friend sounds like the bitch. Get rid of her

No, baby formula is too hard to come by. She needs to hunt elsewhere for her friend’s baby. You have your baby to worry about.

My baby is on pretty much all formula and I would be livid if someone demanded that I give one of my last cans to someone I don’t even know!? It goes so fast and is next to impossible to find. So what happens in a week when it’s YOUR baby that’s starving is she gonna go harass someone to give YOU a can? I doubt it.

Those three cans will be gone before you know it…you as a momma should take care of your baby first…its how nature does it it’s how humans do it…your friend should have understood…she must not have kids and if she does then shame on her…its ashamed that you need to scrounge for formula in the first place…GOD bless America…

Alyssa Cassidy UNLEASH

You need to better friends

So she shouldn’t have acted in the way she did but you could have at least gave her one can because what if that baby is out formula completely and she can’t find any and is desperate to feed her child its not like she asked you to give her every can you have im mean think about there’s plenty moms out there like you that are formula feeding their baby’s so its not just you that has to worry about their kid or kids being fed or not but of course there’s moms out that have an abundance supply of breastmilk that are willing to donate to families in need because of the shortage
