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

No, you are not wrong. No friend there.

You aren’t in the wrong. That’s no friend if she’s going to treat you this way.

My answer is different, I would share so the child didn’t go without. As long as my child had food we would share and I would search for more!

Did she take it to sell it? Sounds like she could be that kind of person since she didn’t want to pay for it.

Hell no! She’s probably gonna sell it and if she actually wanted it she would have paid you! Especially by saying those words wow! Nah dumb her :peach: to the curve. Don’t have people like that around your babies.

Your job as a mother is first and foremost is to provide for your child you brought him into this world you are responsible for him I’m sorry for what is going on in the world and I really wish it were different but if it comes down to your child or someone else’s child you have to pick your own as heartless is that sounds you should have kept your formula and told that woman to leave your baby depends on you for everything and not only is formula expensive it’s almost non-existent on the shelves right now

That is not your friend preparation is what has kept your child fed not selfishness

Don’t think much of your "friend ". Dump her, she obviously thinks a friend of a friend’s whatever is more important than your child. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Did your duty as a mother. Your children should always come first!

No , she was wrong for assuming you should give it away! And why was she in your pantry snooping?

You have a baby to worry about… The other baby is NOT your responsibility to feed… your baby IS… Screw her… Is she gonna go around guilting other Mothers out of their last few cans of formula, for FREE at that, for YOU when you go through the last few cans you have because she’s the reason you have one less? I would cut that “friend” loose so fast & never look back… It’s got to be so scary having a formula fed baby right now… and I can’t even imagine how infuriating it has to be to hear all those “this wouldn’t be a problem if you breast fed!” a$$-holes… Don’t listen to ANYONE… Do whatever you have to do for you and your baby… :heart:

She is in your house, bitching because her friend’s daughter’s baby right?? Did I get that right?? Her friend’s daughter’s baby need formula. And she wants it for free??
Oh hell no. She has no right to sit there and bitch like that and call you names and everything because her friend’s daughter’s baby needs formula

No you were not wrong!

No you are not wrong. I would have told her to leave.

Mk so here’s my thing, I woulda said yes 1 can wether it be free or paid but as soon as she got the attitude I woulda charged double and block her out… I would never talk to my friends like that no matter how pissed I am

Tell that friend to kick fucking rocks if the other child is truly starving maybe ask for her name and talk to her directly!
Your friend needs to learn shits not free! If the mother doesn’t have money that’s something the 2 of you can talk about but seems this “friend” wasn’t being a friend she was trying to take advantage!

Not a friend. Hope you kept it :mending_heart:

A plane full of formula came from Germany a few days ago. Probably on the way to shops throughout the country.

No, your friend is out of line.

If she’s worried about that other baby she needs to hit the pavement and go look for the formula herself, instead of try to take it from your child. What the heck she doing looking through your cabinets anyway? Sounds like you need to reevaluate your friendship with her. That wouldn’t fly in my house.

Absolutely not your so right! She is being a bitch and you should cut ties with that one !

That’s not a friend I would have kicked her out of my home with nothing

The other lady will find a way, this is YOUR child you will be using it for him. The response you got from this girl was not very nice. You did the right thing, hard as it was.

You are not in the wrong here !!

Um excuse me, you are NOT responsible nor should be guilt tripped into providing for your friends friends daughters baby.

Nope you’re not wrong. I could understand if you had more cans but even then you’re not obligated to give. Only 3 can left is nothing because babies go through them fast. And it wasn’t even for her. The fact that she asked you to give up your child’s food and was rude about it…that’s not a friend.

Get outta my house with that stink attitude. I wouldn’t let another baby starve either but my baby comes first.
I’m second hand embarrassed for her to even ask you for that formula.

We are coming into very hard times. You will have to put your family first, regardless of what anyone says. The holding hands kumbaya bullshit does not extend to desperate times. In times like these you must put your own children first and do NOT feel bad about it.

Shes a horrible friend for treating and talking to you the way she did and not taking your own situation into consideration. If she’s so concerned about her other friends child then she should be out trying to find some for her in a store not another mother’s pantry that needs it for her own child

No you’re not selfish. You don’t have much and you are sure when you’ll get more. Since it was for a friend of a friend, for all you know, that girl is hoarding or may sell it. You had to do what you had to do!

$45 a can how much do you get. We really pay a lot less then that.

You’re not in the wrong. I have a two month old (as of Monday) and yes. I’ve stockpiled. Why? Because I live in a beach tourist town that doesn’t really “cater” to the super youngs’ needs, so when I find a can or two, yes, I grab it/them. My child is going through a 12.4[ish] can every three DAYS… I don’t have the luxury of running a mile up the road to grab another… at best, the nearest Walmart is 30 miles away.

PS. Your “friend” is trash.

what. it wasn’t even for her own kid? honestly? she doesn’t sound like much of a friend if that’s how she treats and talks to you. if she were your friend, she would have understood that you can’t share your babies only food with other people with not knowing if you’ll be able to find more… would this lady’s friend give you her babies food? I’m going to go out on a limb and say probably not. besides that, your “friend” never should have put you on the spot like that to begin with. it’s kind of rude, in my opinion… especially considering her response of “if you wanna bitch” and then saying she she get if for free like tf? if it were me, she wouldn’t have for the formula and she would have got a swift kick out the front door for thinking she was going to talk to me like that in my own house. you weren’t wrong in the slightest.

That person wouldn’t be around me ever again. That’s a sh!tty friend!

She isn’t your friend- listen to what she told you - really - that was the last cans for your baby - she doesn’t care about your baby as much as her “ other” friend. Plus not paying you for it - what does she think you are made of money - you mean nothing to her - why does she come over - when all she is doing is causing drama - besides she needs to keep her nose out of your cupboards.

first off what right did she have plundering in your pantry? Second place asking you to give up what you yourself need for your own baby is wrong on her part, asking you to not get paid for it, if you let her have it, is wrong on her part. Say goodbye to this person she is not a friend
