Coffee? (Not what you think)

Well if the child’s mother objects then the MiL shouldn’t do it should she? I can think of lots of reasons why a mum wouldn’t want her small child to be drinking coffee. Her child, her decision.

I can’t see a problem with a little sip of coffee either ( having said that I don’t drink coffee) maybe just making a mountain out of a mole hill . Or trying to cause an argument where there wasn’t one .

I was browsing Mumsnet where a mum was explaining that her mil gave the toddler a taste of her coffee, and the OP objected strongly. It ended up in a big row, with the toddlers dad criticised for not defending the OP. I can't for the life of me, see why the mil can't give the child a sip of coffee! My Dil wouldn't have a problem with this. What do grans think?
