Dad’s Dilemma: Honesty or Harmony?
Caught between a rock and a hard place, our dad found himself in the middle of a family feud after a routine infant check-up. His wife’s controversial parenting method – giving their infant juice and water – was unexpectedly revealed to their pediatrician, leading to a whirlwind of drama. The doctor’s surprise and subsequent advice didn’t sit well with the mom, who felt betrayed and accused him of making her look bad. As the dust settles, we’re left wondering: was dad right to spill the beans, or should he have kept mum for the sake of family harmony? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…

“NTA what your wife is doing is could be developmentally damaging to your child. Formula or breast milk have the right balance of fats and nutritions to help an infant’s brain develop and to properly grow, what your wife is feeding your daughter does not. Unless your wife has a degree in pediatric nutrition she does not know better than the resources the Dr has. Honestly if my spouse was doing this I would remove myself and the child from the situation until I could trust my spouse to make better decisions for my child.”
