Quote From: shellyeeThe same things keep coming up over and over. What I have learned from this is people hear exactly what they want to hear, even if it is something you never said at all. And when they find themselves with their back against the wall, immaturity insues. So, here goes;
1. I have the show on tape. I was the one sitting the stage speaking and so I am the only one who knows what I think. Not only that, I know what goes on before and during taping. So really, nobody can tell me about me or how I think. I know better than any of you. I can guarentee it.
2. The first thing out of my mouth was "I am not against breastfeeding". I am actually PRO-breastfeeding, very much. I made a very big point out of saying that. That seems to have been lost on a lot of you.
3. At no time did I tell anyone to go feed in the bathroom. Dr. Phil and Syanorra discussed it, but I never told anyone they had to feed their child in the restroom. I have the tape- I can prove it. HOWEVER- SOME women act as though the mere act of stepping into a restroom renders their entire body and the child totally unsanitary. That is ridiculous. Thus my comment about wiping the breast in the toilet seat. A breast doesn't suddenly become unsanitary because of a change of rooms. They taped me in front of a woman breastfeeding her child at an outdoor cafe on the street. Their were car fumes, and tire noize, and horns, and planes overhead (we were near Burbank airport). I doubt the table was "sanitary". Not much difference really. But let's not say I said things I never did, ok? That's being a trouble maker.
4. Syanorra said she should get to do anything she wants anytime, and I said it would be nice if people respected each others feeling and COMPROMISED. That's all I asked for, compromise. If you parents are teaching your kids that it's ME ME ME all the time, well, maybe you should to talk to my Mom and Dad, because I think they did a better job.
5. To the people who feel it just necessary to attack me on a personal level- I am too ugly, I am going to hell, I am insane, on and on. Those are things people say when they have nothing to say. That is how grade schoolers fight, and you are supposed to be parents. You can't really be trying to hold yourself over me as the "superior" with such childishness, are you? You are someone I don't even know behind a computer screen. All you have are your words. Try not to sound like your infants. And please teach your children better behavior than you exhibit, or you will end up back on Dr. Phil while he retrains your ill mannered children.
6. I am well aware that people get over upset when they are told things that they know are the truth, but it is still something they don't want to hear. SOOOOOO many woman posted here how it was 100% possible to breastfeed with discretion that it only proves that the women who do it "all out" are doing it only to prove a point and make a spectacle of themselves. That's the way so many people are doing things these days- it's all about me, you don't matter at all. Just read the posts. I think I proved my point.
Tell me if I understand this! You do believe in breastfeeding and you are even ok with it in public 'if' the mother does it in a discreet manner?
Just asking have you encountered women nursing with 'it all out'???
I was offended by your comments, but I am a very open minded person and believe 'everyone' is entitled to their opinion! As long as they understand that I may not share in their opinion.
As for the comment you made about a waitress wearing low cut pants and her back side kind of hanging all out. That would offend me, but do I think I would have the right to tell her to change or leave or cover up....NO!!!
