AITA for wanting to be hand fed?
Ok so I (7mo male) loves me some food. I really do. I eats ALL the food mommy gives me. It’s fantastic. I sits in my little chair and just eats my heart out.
Here’s the thing though - Mommy keeps using this contraption she calls a “spoon.” Now I don’t know about you guys but wtf am I supposed to do with that. It’s not edible, it’s hard, and I just don’t like it. It even shows up in different colors and shapes sometimes, like I won’t know it’s just the same Spoon. I’m smarter than that. Anyway…
So when mommy tries to use Spoon I puts my chunky foot down. I closes my mouth and turns my head away until she takes the same food that was on the spoon and puts it in my mouth with her fingers. I makes an exception for applesauce and yogurt because it just pours off Spoon. Everything else - sweet potatoes, beef stew, mushy peas, avocado, chicken in all forms, you name it I eats it - must be hand fed or I says no like the big strong boy mommy says I am.
AITA for firmly and, I believes, calmly expressing such a simple desire? I only fusses when absolutely necessary, IMHO, and I working super hard on my pinchers so I can just do it myself but I can’t gets it yet. I will be so glad when I grows up and don’t have to use Spoon anymore.
