Was I wrong for not giving my baby formula to a friend?

My child will always come first !

You are NOT WRONG!!! I suspect she blew up at you because she wanted to make herself look good to her own friend. Your obligation and duty is to your own family first. It’s not like you can just go to the store and get resupplied with the shortages ongoing as they are. This is not someone you need to feel obligated to; she is not your friend. If she were really your friend, she would have seen you need the formula for your own babies and certainly not asked.

Maybe if it was your BFF’s baby that works be different,. But your baby sisters, boyfriends, cousin can find their own. And to want it for free is ridiculous! Not everyone can afford to buy their own, why would she expect it for free. Find a new friend.

1st…. That heffa ain’t your friend

3rd…. my son would still have 3 cans of formula
And 4th…. I’d sleep really sound after cutting that negative Nelly loose! It’s not your job to take care of a friend of a friend’s child! BYE!

It’s wrong for another person, knowing you have a baby to feed yourself, to demand or guilt you into giving away the formula. It’s getting used not sitting in a cabinet to gather dust.

Uhh weird because if she could find them in stores she’d have to pay. I’m all for helping others in these times but we have to take care of home first. Your friend sounds weird

And then when you said OK she didn’t wanna pay for it…is she joking?! that shits not cheap. And as everyone else says your baby comes first, obv No one wants a baby to starve. Sounds like she’s worried about this other child eating more than yours

That woman is not your friend get rid of her.

You have to worry about YOUR baby first, before absolutely any one elses. If you had 11 cans still, then I can see you parting with one, but 3? No. Babies go through formula very frequently. If anyone ever spoke to me like that, they’d be leaving missing a few teeth. Tell that ‘friend’ to never come back. Disgusting behavior. It’s not your fault you were more fortunate in the moment than someone else. Besides, it’s on the other baby’s mother to guarantee her baby won’t go hungry. Not you.

I think the fact that it costs so much and she expected it free is what would bother me the most.

No ! You weren’t wrong. You were looking out for your son. That person who was yelling at you was NO FRIEND of yours. I wouldn’t give it a second thought. She sounds like she is not right in the head.

If her friend who just had the baby had only 3 cans of formula during a nationwide shortage, do you think she’d give you any? Definitely not! What a selfish friend you have. Of course you’re going to look after your baby first! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Just like they both would.

Shame on her! You see where you stand on her friend list… your friend values her other friend more. You need to take care of your baby. And you offered. You arn’t grocery store. She was knocking you when she is to cheap to pay for the food. Nope. Not a friend!

She would’ve been asked to leave and never come back. Don’t yell at me in my own house🤷‍♀️ And while I understand all babies need to eat, my babies come first. If I found what they need, I’m keeping it for them. Call me selfish if you want, but my priority is MY baby. I can help others find theirs and let them know where it’s at, or help with an extra can for them here and there, but when it boils down to it….mine come first to me. As it does with most moms……

Nope not wrong. It wasn’t even for her either. Also how you know she was even telling the truth about this friend that you don’t even know even exists? For all you know she could’ve just said that hoping you would give it to her then her selling it online for a quick buck like lots of people have done sadly. You need to look out for you and your children plus family not nobody else in this world. If this so called friend has a problem with it tell her that the friendship is over and you do not want anything to do with her no more and to never contact you again. And I personally would probably hide the cans incase she tries getting into your place to steal one too

Girl! Hell no! You’re not being selfish at all! I hope you kept those cans for your baby. DON’T EVER let your son go without so another can have. Don’t feel bad! She should be ashamed of herself. It wasn’t even for her kid but for a friend. You don’t even know those people. If I were you I would cut that so called friend off!

That’s not a friend. Your baby needs to eat too and 3 cans don’t last long at all. Also, it’s great if families can afford to give away free formula. But it is expensive and not everyone can do that.

Totally not wrong. U do U and your kids chick. If the other mother needs formula she can get it like everyone else that manages to.

She was out of line. And to expect it for free was really ridiculous. Not every baby uses the same brand either. Seems like she wanted to impress someone at your expense.

Nope not wrong at all. Your child comes first. Now if you are hoarding, that is another story but that doesn’t seem to be the case here

You’re not wrong or being selfish. The formula shortage is horrible and I feel for anyone with a baby on formula, but you’re absolutely correct. You need to think of your child and his needs. What’s worse is that after she guilted you into agreeing to give up one can of your last 3, she believed it should be given for free.

Cut her off from ur life !! U should have friends that are supportive of ur choices. She should of accepted ur answer of no without any questions. She sounds like a very disrespectful and rude person.

If you need if for your child then you have every right to refuse and keep it for you’re child. You’re not wrong.

That’s not a friend! Plus, it’s ballsy to even ask when you only had 3. If she’s so concerned for her friend, let her do her own research and leave your limited supply alone!!
