Sorry again. I saw where it says "mods this forum" and I got confused.

Just to clarify I never once commented on pasiley's horrible experience, and I will not. And I don't appreciate that you are giving the impression to those just coming in that I have done that.

I have had a similar horrible experience, not with a boyfriend, with a trusted family elder. But it has nothing to do with this thread. My opinion on breastfeeding stems from other personal experiences related to this topic.

And that is all I have responded to, statements specific to this topic.

I was interested in that discussion, not this he said she said stuff.

I refered incorrectly to your use of the word tact and after you clarified, I apologized. But I never once refered to paisley's comments regarding her abuse. Others have but not me. It wouldn't happen.

Its obvious you dont know me or you'd know that.

roanmairin said:

your right, you havent commented on her past...thats what i have issue with..you kept steamrolling on your mission to prove that only you have the right opinion on this issue...when in fact, if you put paisley's comments into context (in regards to her past experiences) you should at least show some compassion to why she felt so passionate in the first place to make the extreme statement that she did.

cha get?

sosgemini said:

Sorry, nope I don't. I own my opinions, don't make excuses.

This wasn't all about paisley, many opinions expressed on here by many orgers.

Looking down a one way street here.

Thanks for chattin'

Well it seems you are just not right with it being done in public, but you know the actual benefits of breastfeeding your child. So for you to not like it done in public, well that is just your opinion, but don't deny your child (when that time comes) the benefits of having its natural born health elixir which you are made to produce for the well-being of your child.

Anything outside of breast milk for a child sets your child up to a host of allergies, conditions and side affects of substituting your milk for something not natural or beneficial for the child.

I brest-fed, thought it hurt a little, just knowing I was doing what's best for my daughter was ok for me. I tried to stay home during feeding times so I wouldn't have to deal with people watching. Way cheaper then buying!

Well spoken, Said it better then I could have!! 4 U

It's not really about the breast feeding at all, it's your attitude. I hope you don't raise your child to that that much disrespect for others.

Whether I can or can't isn't the issue. It's whether I want do, and I *don't* want to. And whether that's because I'm repressed or I'm a sicko or I'm just flat-out tstupid, YOU do not have the right to tell me that I feel is or isn't normal. Not only that, but most of these women out there flopping their tit out for the world to see don't realize that they just look frickin' gross. I'm all for discreet breastfeeding - my sister breastfeeds and 1/2 the time I don't even notice she's doing it. But to the mothers who are all like "I'm going to whip out my crusty, floppy-ass tit and if you don't like it then SCREW YOU YOU'RE A SICKO!", trust me when I say that 1) no one thinks your precious Pookie is special but you and yours, which leads to 2) no one gives a damn if Pookie is so hungry that you have to whip it out for all to see. Give me a break. Mothers with entitlement issues - especially new mothers - make me sick. You're not special and neither is your little crotch-dropping - shit, roaches can breed, so I'm not impressed with you and yours.

You have to be seriously fucked in the head if you have a problem with women breastfeeding in public. It says more about you than it does about them.

Yup, you guessed it. I secretly have a breast fetish. I can't watch a child breastfeed because I desire to be in their place. My hands just start to shaking and I just blurt out, "WHERE THE TITTIES AT!?!?!" It all started when I was born. I was born a poor black child...*

*rolls my eyes very deeply*

It's funny that people want to piss on people and say "Oh, you must be American" and "Oh, you must be European". Personally, I've NEVER seen a country put their children on a pedestal like Americans do. It's nauseating.

*don't tell me you never saw Steve Martin in "The Jerk"!

Dex-babe,...I was never breastfed...and tell me darling: am I healthy or what?

Dang, Everybody had something to say.
How about the baby! I'm hungry
(mom) I'm sorry sweety, you gotta wait til we get home, cause all these people don't wanna watch you eat.
(baby)but I'm hungry
(mom) I know, sweety, but I can't take you too the bathroom, that's just to nasty, we could get germs and then get sick going in there to eat.
(baby) everyone else is eating, I'm hungry
(mom) I know honey, we'll be home soon. Its just all these stupid people would rather see you starve then they deal with their own insecurities.
(baby) but I'm hungry

IF BABIES COULD TALK!! I'm hungry fool!
DON'T WATCH IF YOU DON'T WANNA SEE. BUT WHEN THE BABY NEEDS TO EAT, THE BABY NEEDS TO EAT.
ASSHOLES

Feel better?

I have never seen a woman flop out her breast for din din. Never not once. Where is this happening that people are seeing women just flip out their bare breasts for all to see without regard? I live in California and if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen here!

You are entitled to feel like you don't want to see it but a baby should not have to be on your schedule. They need to eat. If you can't hang, get over your feelings for a few seconds. Because regardless of whether or not others should be imposed upon by other people's children, feeding is absolutely required. A baby has to eat ya know.....

Massachusetts and Rhode Island! One at Bertrucci's in the Taunton mall, one at Ozzfest ( I know I know!!) and another at the registry


And DAAAAANG this thread just keeps going and going and going....

CarrieLee said:

Like the energizer bunny

How much of the breast are you seeing? The whole thing, half, a crescent? I have seen flashes of boobage but not just flat out bared to the world.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

thank you. i was starting to get angry again by everyone being offended by my 'fuck off' attitude but not understanding why i said it. first off i said in because i was angry at one persons attack of me, telling me i 'have attitude' because i believe its natural to breastfeed my child. i went into defense mode. this is my child we're talking about. and i am sorry if those who do not have children don't understand...i WILL do anything anytime and anywhere if it is to the benefit or necessity of my child. thats just the way it is. i don't want to offend anyone and that is why i was discreet when i nursed him. i can't believe some people would take this so far. and as for raising my child...i am doing a great job. thank you for your concern dr. i teach my son to respect all people, regardless of race, religion, sexual preference...etc.
whether you 'think' breastfeeding is proper or not, healthy or not, barbaric or not is up to you...it is your opinion. but it is natural. there really can be no question about that.
i am done with this thread...it has been beaten to death. lets bury it before it kills us all.
even though i still believe in what i said...i am sorry if i offended anyone with my angry rantings.

We should be like the animal kingdom on this. You know no cat ever got in a scratchfest after walking past a nursing cat

wow....
I don't know where to begin...

maybe I won't even..

Shorty said:

Maybe you shouldn't!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

that's why I didn't

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Oh honey it was the whole titty. One of them even left it out while putting the child back in the baby seat! That was the one at Bertrucci's, she was just like "hey look at me! My boob is hanging out and dripping but it's ok cuz I'm breast feeding!"

CarrieLee said:

OK, I have never seen anything like that. So if that is what people are in an uproar over, I can understand. But isn't it funny how this happens in African villages everyday and nobody even notices


But the attitude against breast feeding comes out even when women are being discreet and if someone can't handle it then, they need to get the frick over themselves.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I understand that 100%, in fact I think I already stated that?

Anyway, my friend was discreet about it and I had no problems with it at all. But there are SOME women who want to make a big scene about. Then when they get nasty looks they get pissed off and say it's their right blah blah blah. There are ways to do things tastefully, but unfortunately not all know how to do that.

Just the other day a woman was in the locker room with her baby just as a mad rush of people came in to change. She was forcing her nipple on the kid! Not to mention in the middle of 20 ladies trying to change! The baby did not want to eat and she's waving her nipple around like it was a large cheese pizza! I'm sorry but if you're gonna make a spectacle of yourself WHILE BREAST FEEDING I"m gonna get disgusted.

It was whip cream and hershey syrup. And I wasn't naked. And it was at a party.

I will re-phrase that statement but I think you know what I meant.

CarrieLee said:

I don't think I'd really even care if a woman bared her breasts. Yeah I'd think she was being an attention whore but what woman isn't?

I'm just joshin with ya. I understand where you are coming from but I still think it's very very weird that people have an issue with this, even when you see more boobs than you expected.

billyjackbitch said:

Yeah baby!!! U healthy as fuck....

But you also live in a country that doesn't subscribe to "too much" preservatives and an unhealthy lifestyle like we do over here in fucked up America!

Whap!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

And why should I have to suffer because YOUR child needs to eat? Do you really think I care two shakes of a rat's balls about YOUR CHILD? Feed your little brat at home!
