Why any woman would get those things before breastfeeding their babies is beyond me. And that was in reference to the bottle nipples made out of silicone....

I honestly dont have much sympathy for these women. Most got the implants because of vanity. They are paying for what they got. I pretty much relate this to selling your soul then getting mad when you go to hell.

I was young (a very immature 20 year old) when I got mine. My mom convinced me. (More like nagged me into it.) I just really wanted her to leave me alone. She said she's paid for them, and I thought the risks was minimal.

I found out 5 years later that my mom is a manic depressive. One thing about manice depressives is that they are perfectionists. I did not turn out perfect in her eyes, and so she wanted me fixed.

It's hard to have a good self image if your parents keep on telling you that you are inadequate. When I got to be a teenager, my mom made a point of emphasizing that I was flat chested. She would tell me not to wear certain clothes because it made me look flatter. Then I had a boyfriend that wanted me to get a boob job. He royally dumped me after a year of dating.

Put the demeaning mom, and getting dumped by a boyfriend, and I got them. Stupid yes.

My girls will not get the same treatment from me if they are flat chested. Actually, I personally think my kids are perfect just the way they are. My kids all know that mommy thinks they are either beautiful or handsome (and they are).
