Is anybody esle bothered by women breast feeding in public?

[Nobody Special]

Yes, I know it's natural and all, but so is peeing, what sort of reaction would I get if I walked over to the corner and did my business. Do you think I would be able to go home that night without going to jail?

We took my grandma out to dinner the other night at a fine dinning establishment, Sizzler. Being from Ogden, Sizzler is a fine eating establishment. Not to mention it's grandma's favorite place to eat.

Anyway, half way through dinner, the woman sitting across from me, just whips her shirt up, and pops it out and attaches the child. Right there for all to see. Then she didn't even bother putting a blanket over them.

Call me narrow minded or whatever you want, but man, just do it someplace else please.

And for those of you that wonder why a guy would complain about womens breasts, well normally I'm all for it. But they just aren't the same distraction when they are all bloated with milk.

Wow! It's my grandparents' favorite place to eat, too! Imagine that.

My feeling on public breastfeeding is this: If she's an attractive young mother, I'm all for it. Otherwise, I can do without it.

On my very first day as a missionary (after leaving the MTC I mean), while teaching my very first discussion, Larita, a 19-year-old girl living in a government projects of North Little Rock, whipped it out and breast-fed her baby right in front of us.

When the baby was done and moved his head, she just sat there as though she was unaware she was hanging out.

Afterwards, when I asked my trainer why we were alone with a single girl in the first place, he told me if people obeyed that rule, we would have nobody to teach.

Leaky breasteses.

We got that all the time on my mission. We used to call them one-eyed monsters.

BTW, how did you like Little Rock? I spent a couple of weeks there this year and loved it. I ate at a place called Doe's that was one of the best steak joints I ever eaten at.

Sorry to break it to you boys, but that what they're for. They're not squeeze toys, they're mammary glands. :roll:

Actually, it used to bother me a little, until I actually had a baby. I've talked to other women who have felt this same way. I do think that people should do it discreetly (but some women have told me their babies won't tolerate nursing with a baby thrown over their head.) Before having a baby, I vowed I would never nurse in public, but I was forced to a couple times-- otherwise, I would have never been able to leave my house for more than a couple hours at a time. I did however, do it discreetly.

I think what bothers people is not the exposed breast so much, but the sight of a tiny munchkin sucking away on it.

So, while I'm more understanding now, I'm not an activist like this woman.

So, until you've felt your engorged breast leak milk at the sound of your screaming infant, please don't pee in any restaurants.

Like I said, I never thought I would, but it was either that or let a screaming baby go hungry. I thought I was doing it pretty covertly-- no skin showing, baby's head covered-- but this guy kept commenting on it until his wife basically told him to shut up and stop staring at me.

Maybe it's just me thinking like a guy, but I'd be tempted to drop the blanket and ask how he likes it now. Seriously, the guy sounds like a social imbecile.
