Mum slammed for letting child eat off her plate at restaurant

A mum has been slammed for letting his child eat off her plate during a meal at a Mexican restaurant. Posting on Reddit, she said a family member thought it was 'rude' and put her off her own food.

She explained they had all gone out for a birthday meal when she let her son eat some tortillas off her plate after tearing them into 'stripes' for him.

She wrote: "Brother-in-law's girlfriend said that it was unappetizing to see our baby grabbing food off of my plate and giving her anxiety as well because she was worried he would choke. I told her to look at her own plate instead of mine.

"She was somewhat put out when I said that. Halfway through the meal my husband took the baby so I could focus on my food and socialize a bit. Baby went to town on hubby's leftover chicken quesadilla.

"After dinner, everyone else was using the restroom, and it was the two of us watching everyone's stuff. She told me I was very rude to her and that she was unable to enjoy her boyfriend's birthday because of our poor table manners."

The mum then asked others if she was being unreasonable in this situation. Dozens of people replied, with most being on her side.

One wrote: "I honestly have no idea how some people survive in the world without being offended to death." Another said: "Unless the baby is seven and licking the plates while making loud slurping noises (my husband’s nieces lol), gf is crazy. Keep your eyes on your own food!".
