NAILED IT !

Jamie Lynn Grumet, the 26-year-old mother featured on the cover of Time magazine breastfeeding her 3-year-old son, has done more this week than become the poster woman for “attachment parenting,” the sometimes laudable movement that advises parents to be physically and emotionally available and responsive to their children. She has shown the limits of such a concept, and the ways in which it can be twisted into a bizarre, contemptible caricature of itself.
Grumet is a model, and models have to have at least healthy dose of narcissism (television journalists like me, too, by the way). But I fear Grumet has more than what’s healthy.
Because she thought nothing of becoming far more famous than she ever was or ever would have been by getting naked on the cover of Time using her son as a prop—letting him, in fact, look right into the camera and be completely recognizable while sucking her nipple. He may never be better-known for anything than for being a breastfeeding 3-year-old on the cover of a national magazine.
Ever.
When he enters school later in his young life he may be ridiculed for it. And these realities hint at a woman who could (and I have not evaluated her) have very poor boundaries and be willing or likely not only to nurture a child, but to absorb him, deny him his personhood and render him no more than her appendage.

Yeah, I wouldn’t mind having some of that for lunch, but I don’t really care how long she breast feeds junior. Just don’t do it on a magazine cover.
I’ll bet her husband is really proud of her and his kid.
My breasts wouldn’t mow the lawn but standing without a shirt in the yard they’d work having someone else to mow the lawn.
Yeh but I bet he’ll have a Lambourghini before any of us. Even a 3 year old can be a prostitute....thanks to his mom.
Look, some things are difficult and highly resistant to change ~ like providing homosexual couples with a right to a vaginal delivery ~ you grab one of those ol’boys and lay out the problem to him he’ll blanch white as a sheet!
First off, you sicko, I never said that was their “only purpose.” But ASSume away, like the Trayvon crowd.
Just FYI, dummmy, I had 4 children, all of them nursed.
Breasts are for feeding the young, you have assigned an extra use.
Article states he's 3 years old.
Looks to me like 3 going on 5 or 6.
Looks like a case of incest with a minor to me.
1) See post #26.
2) Are you saying that that “use” is not one intended by God?
Does the boy have a role model to aspire to?
Lasted about 2 minutes into the first phone call to the company headquarters.
Breasts provide lactic fluids to young'ns. Simultaneously they are made up of some degree of erectile tissue ~ and are tied into the nervous system with a special link that does all sorts of things.
However, the purpose is the purpose. The rest of that stuff keeps you in her tree and not somebody else's tree!
Remember, in nature all genes have multiple purposes. Else you'd be a sea slug.
I have no problem what so ever with breastfeeding... I have no problem even with breastfeeding in public (although I would encourage women to use a cloth of small towel to cover themselves while they feed their child.
BUT
I have a HUGE problem with what THIS WOMAN did! This is out and out child abuse! and someone (either this woman or the editors of TIME) needs to be put in jail for this! I find it OUTRAGOUS, and is sexual exploitation of a child, distribution of child pornography and is no different than if TIME had a picture of that poor kid sucking on his dad’s wee wee.
CPS should get involved on this.
Waiting for some lefty wing nut to criticize the militaristic woodland camouflage pants on the kid.
NAILED IT !
When I saw the cover, I thought this kid had better grow up to be a cage fighter or live out the song, “Boy named Sue”.
What the hell were these people thinking?
I think the kid’s pretty lucky actually..... /snark
If you think this was weird you should see what goes for normal in scandinavia.
I would make the supreme sacrifice and volunteer to take his place.
