I was hoping the Sweedish Bikini Team would show up for this event.
I didn't say she wasn't being discreet. Go read. If she was not complying with a flight crew member, I don't care if she was picking her nose and refused a kleenex. That's illegal. That's announced as illegal. She handled it correctly. She stood her ground and left the flight on her terms. She most certainly had a blanket in her possession, wouldn't you think? She didn't want to use it, the baby wouldn't let her, or whatever happened. The bottom line is,,,,I never said she wasn't I'm all for discretion. My posts are screaming a call for discretion. I am not disturbed by any mom nursing her infant who is hungry or needs to be comforted, esp if there is nothing else to be done. I have no issue with it. My whole point is discretion. If the airlines treated this woman unfairly, then that is wrong. I already posted that.
Geez, I am so amazed at how the call to be discrete pi$$e$ off so many people!
Oh, reaaallllly...? You have to do anything a flight attendant tells you to do, or you're breaking the law? One really hopes you're not really going to try to defend that twaddle. Then again, the entertainment potential leads one to hope that you will.....
Except in your own case, obviously.
It's not my rule. The flight crew can make the call, you bet. It's clear, it's advertised and if I don't like how I'm treated, I'll deal with it like a grown up. Apparently your personal sensibilities can't fathom handling that exchange in such a manner. Doesn't bother me.
I really could care less about your opinion of me. I don't make the rules for how the public is to behave while flying.
I'm glad you are humored. That totally suits me fine. Maybe you should spend some time doing a little research.
Oh, and twaddle..? Impressive word. Is that from your high-end dictionary or is it a word that happens to be in your every day vocabulary? It's really persuasive,,,,,,
If you think that is bad, one day at a friend's house, I had the great misfortune of meeting a female friend-of-my-friend who breast fed her five year old daughter. Her son was eight at the time. She openly talked about breast feeding her son until he was almost six. She ended up leaving before long, saying she had to go home to "feed" her daughter. I was at a complete loss for words and avoided any conversation with her.
Smart move, but it's really too bad ... I was looking forward to it.
Quit posting to me. I fly often and anyone hear can repeat the assertion. Can I quote the law chapter and verse, no way.
Wipe the drool off your face and pick another argument somewhere else. You are salivating for no reason. What a sad life you must have, purposefully trying to be an a$$ just for the fun of it. Hey, you're good at it.
hear = here,,,it's late.
Don't you love how some people think breastfeeding is such a simple choice? Obviously, it's technically less complicated that fixing bottles. However maintaining the supply, nursing schedules, nipple confusion, etc is quite different from bottle feeding.
Anyone can bottle feed. Nursing is a full time committment!
I'm convinced some people hear the word "breastfeeding" and their anus puckers up in hysterical shock and outrage.
True, but experience says that most children (babies even) will grab the blanket and it fling it about. A blanket is really only useful when the baby is a newborn or asleep.
You can't make a baby latch on to a nipple if they don't want it (hunger/soothing). Human nipples aren't as rigid as plastic bottle nipples and they can't be forced into the mouth the same way.
I guess we were both pretty mad yesterday.
We dont have to agree.
Have a nice day, sorry to have lost my temper.
"I don't gawk, but if I wanted to, a breast feeding mom has not a complaint about it if she wants to be in the public. I have the RIGHT to gawk if I want to. That is not the point. You can't demand decency if you are not willing to be respectful to others around you. I have been there in that position. You are a man so when have you ever breastfed a baby? You have no credibility in lecturing me. How dare I? Easily I dare. You want YOUR standards honored but to hell with everyone else when the call is out for common courtesy. I did not once in any post, ever, say, that women show their breasts too much or show off their breasts, or expose themselves unreasonably. Read, instead of lecturing, you jerk."
Good heavens. A good proctologist could remove that corncob.
