I know a lady who breast-fed her kids until they were something like 5 or 6. I $hit you not. Bizzaroworld, for sure. Kids are gonna be scarred for life.

I just have to shake my head. Of course, it's not for the kids at that point but for something lacking (or lactating) in the mom.

So that's what happened to both of my youngest uncles. Both my grandmothers nursed their youngest until they were around 5. One of 'em became a drunk and a liar. The other one is a flaming liberal. He's smart though.

I think both of my grandmothers believed that they could avoid pregnancy if they continued nursing. I know that to be an old wives' tale. At least in my case.
