Quote From: cmac01I watched the show and the tv sound was ON! I cannot believe that you would say that breastfeeding in public is disgusting, that you "lose" your appetite if you see it happening b/c you are not able to look away. You cannot honestly tell me that if a woman is feeding her baby at a table next to or in front of yours, that her breast is the only thing you can see???? How is that possible? Is she shoving her breast and her baby in your face while you're eating or are you too simpleminded to not look at her? I have breastfed both my children and I am still nursing my daughter. I nurse her whenever and whereever it needs to be done. I do not sit in a nasty bathroom on the toilet or on the floor just so I can get "a little privacy". That is disgusting. However, if I am at a mall or a store with a nice lounge and comfortable seats I do choose to go there--simply for our own physical comfort!
I'm sure there are things you do in your life that make people around you uncomfortable, but you are not going to change your lifestyle b/c of that. I understand that you think we "should have more respect for each others rights and opinions" but it doesn't seem like you are living what you preach!!!! It is my right and my duty to feed my children, whether that be a cheeseburger or milk from my breast! I'm going to do it and it's not going to be done in a nasty bathroom!!! Maybe you didn't have the sound up loud enough then? I never said it was disgusting, I said that "people find it unattractive". At no point did I tell tell anyone to get in the bathroom. We can discuss my life when you actually know me, but that will never ever happen. Thanks.
