Am I over reacting?

I use food processor to cook purees for my baby. Today we were out, when we came home , baby was tired and needed to sleep but I wanted to give him meal so I quickly made pear puree for him. It was going to take 15 minutes and then another 5 to cool it down so instead of waiting 20 minutes, I fed him something else and then left the puree on the dining table as ot was still hot. I went to put my baby to sleep and when I came back I wanted to put his puree in fridge. I couldn't find the processor and when I found it, it had water in it I got so upset and teary eyed because that was the last pear and I cooked it fresh for my baby bcz he was sick but unfortunately didn't have time so thought will use it next mrng. My husband wpuld otherwise not do anything his food ever. Its only me who does it all. (I don't expect or want him to czI do it my way, myself. Don't need no help making his food)) So I was upsetttttt that my baby didn't even have 1 spoon of puree and my husband wasted it all.. and now when I confronted him he said I am over reacting. It takes effort to make baby food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How could he not see there was puree in it???? And this was the only time in 4 months that he thought oh let me help her.. and help how???? By just adding water.. if he would have washed it and put it away It would have counted as help!!!!!!! I am so mad at him. I think I am over reacting but I just cant let it go..idk why... also it was the last pear. Will have to go buy more

I feel your pain hun as long as he knows to be more aware next time

Men🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I think you’re overreacting. If he didn’t know that you were letting it cool down, it could be an honest mistake and he added water to it so it would be easier to clean out later on. Instead of yelling at him, have a civil conversation about it and let him learn next time.

So I pump for my baby and there was a point this summer when my supply dipped REALLY low. I was down to being one bottle “ahead” and so every drop of milk was precious to me. One time when my daughter was waking up for her overnight feed, so I went and heated up her bottle. My husband said he’d get her when she finally woke up so I went back to sleep and told him her bottle was ready. I wake up the next day and the bottle was still in the same place I left it. I was LIVID! I asked why he didn’t feed it to her and he said she fell back asleep so he went back to sleep 🥴 since the bottle had been sitting out for hours it was no good anymore so I had to toss it. I was fuming when I threw it away. Looking back was it a strong reaction? Maybe. In the bigger picture we never actually ran out of milk, my daughter has always been well fed and ultimately everything was fine. But in that moment you couldn’t have convinced me otherwise 😅

I’m surprised a man washed up tbh, definitely let it go. Life is too short . Think of it as he was trying to help and give him a bit of empathy. You will just cause yourself unnecessary pain if you hold onto things that don’t matter. Go get some more pears and next time communicate x

Sounds like he made a mistake and didn’t do it on purpose. I get how frustrating that was, but I think men in father roles are always a little disconnected with all the hard work etc that mamas put in. My dude frustrates me daily. 😂
