It's sad to me that there's not enough education in 2018. - breastfeeding mom
Posted on 11/18/2018 8:58:07 AM PST by conservative98
A Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Louisville, Ky., has apologized to a mother who was asked by a manager to cover up while she was breastfeeding her seven-week-old daughter.
Sadie Durbin began nursing her infant daughter while she was dining at the American chain restaurant with her family, she wrote in a now-viral Facebook post, when a manager came over and told her to cover up.
“David Mitchell, a manager at the Texas Roadhouse on Shelbyville Road, brought me a napkin and tried lying it over my 7 week old nursing infant's face as he explained that he had another patron complain and that he really needed me to cover up,” Durbin wrote.
“I politely explained to him it is against the law for him to ask me to cover up and that I was well within my rights to feed my baby,” she continued.

Discussing overt Breastfeeding attention-seekers, Dresden and circumcision brings ‘em out.
Our country is more 3rd world everyday. women walking around with kids hanging from their bare tits. I mean they have breast pumps you can pump a bottle or two for when you want to go out in public. everyone’s a big attention whore now that’s why.
Here is what I think of when I see some woman doing this.
Straight from the farmyard
“...within her rights.?”
So, if some fellow decides to stand there and stare at her whilst she’s feeding, methinks that you’d say that he has no right....right?
I’m sick and tired of everything someone want to do being a “right”.
I love a breast as much as anyone, but what the h*ll is wrong asking the woman to put a towel over it?
Good grief.
Next week: Stormy Daniels! Live at Texas Roadhouse.
|How about SHE leaves? Oh, that's right. Everyone else has to bend to HER, rather than vice versa.
Got it.
I hadn’t looked at your post before I posted the next comment - I was right on the money as in straight from the farmyard
Not everyone is uncomfortable with watching a woman breastfeed, but some people are, right or wrong.
I don’t think it would take much to be discreet, and it would be considerate of others.
If a woman wants to have her entire breast exposed, it is her right I guess. I just don’t understand why some women feel that is in impingement on their right to breastfeed anywhere they want, and they view a preference for modesty as an attack on their “rights”.
My hippie sister (who had her first baby at a squatter’s commune in Vermont right up near the border of Canada that had no electricity or running water) was especially militant about this kind of thing, almost humorously so...she would, dressed in her hippie garb (mother of Earth skirt and shawl) would stand with her feet apart and put her fist straight up in the air while shouting “BREASTS ARE FOR BABIES, NOT FOR MEN!” which caused me to both laugh and roll my eyes at the same time.
It sounds hilarious, but she was dead serious. She has always been an ultra-lefty, but..I don’t think she has ever voted once in her entire life.
I mean, really.
If a restaurant can require shirt and shoes, why can it not require a breastfeeding mother to drape while she nurses?
Showing a tit is illegal in most areas. Feeding the baby doesn’t change anything. They do this out of defiance.
Obviously any male within 30 feet is subject to arrest for noticing.
The Facebook Attitude of today asks “How can I best present myself as a bullied victim?”, not How can I be the most practical or considerate of others in this room?
There’s always going to be someone saying ‘We support U and are SO PROUD of U!!!” That’s who someone like this listens to. The poster who provides the most ‘likes’ and makes their name trend on Twitter. “WOW! Just look at how popular I am, so I must be right. they like me, they really like me!!!!”
I think it wouldn’t even take a towel. I have seen plenty of women breastfeed quite discretely without having to put a towel over the infant’s head.
I don’t have the feeling of discomfort or embarrassment some men have at seeing a woman openly breastfeeding, but my feeling is, if you know some people out there do, why provoke it? Why not show consideration for others?
It just seems so absolutely in your face unnecessary to just whip an entire breast out breastfeed. There seems to be more behind it than simply providing natural milk to their infant.
This woman would need a bedsheet. Size TBD.
“I politely explained to him it is against the law for him to ask me to cover up and that I was well within my rights to feed my baby,” she continued.

Somehow, that inadvertent inclusion of a headline for a story about drones actually fits this story perfectly. We suffer the droning of the self righteous at every turn.
maybe men can stop scratching their privates in public and "adjusting" themselves in public......geesh...
How 'bout a little inter-recourse? I mean, hell, if we're going to go native...let's git'er done!
And it is always some fat cow who wants to show her breasts in public. Sorry, I don’t want to see that in a family restaurant. There are plenty of other natural activities that all humans do, that I don’t want to observe.
Watching a fat chick nurse a baby is just one that I don’t want to see while eating in a restaurant.
What is wrong with people? There is nothing wrong with a little modesty and discretion. It is not the act of feeding your baby, it is the process you are going through that is the issue.
Adjusting yourself and whipping it out are two different things.
How about being discreet. Bowl movements are natural and healthy too, should we allow that in public? I mean outside of San Francisco.
