Obviously the three of you breastfeed your children in public places and you seem unduly defensive about it. Yet all of you are of the opinion that you do so discreetly. Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinions just as I am. Clearly none of us are inclined to change our minds on this subject. You have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to convince me or yourselves that your behavior is acceptable but I'm not buying it. You might try those arguments on the people who have to be in your presence in public places the next time you are discreetly feeding your hungry child. As for me, well, this topic has bored me about as long as I can stand it. So, ladies, the floor is yours. Rant away. You might want to check out post #141 just for variety. LOL

I am single and don't have children... so I feel pretty objective on it. You haven't answered any of the questions I asked that might shed light on why you feel the way you do. I am not usually convinced to change my mind based on the unexplained judgments of others or name calling. Moms nursing their babes just doesn't instinctually bother me, and I have not been convinced by you that it should.

...and post 141 was about a rude and crude person. I don't usually use the bad behavior of a few to control everyone else.

Darlin', you were the one who went atacking away, at something you can't even see or smell.

Have a nice evening.

In case you didn't notice, you are the one who has been on the defensive. Do I need to get my dictionary out again? :)

No one is trying to convince you of anything. We are trying to understand why you find discreet public nursing unacceptable. For whatever reason, you are unable or unwilling to articulate your position.

You might try those arguments on the people who have to be in your presence in public places the next time you are discreetly feeding your hungry child.

I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds pretty PC.

Follow along. Blatent exhibitionism as expressed in the article and that post is wrong. Discreet nursing is not.
