badloki Nikolita Anybody else remember that person from that breastfeeding thread who called babies "crotch droplings", or something like that? People like that get on my nerves. Oh god! Yes, I remember her! I can't recall her name, but yes, people like her are annoying indeed. I think I have that thread in my "thread subscription" list, because she annoyed me and I keep the thread for reference. But yeah... people like that get on my nerves. A month or two ago at work, there was a man waiting in line for the "family washroom". That's its more or less official washroom, but they're designated for handicapped people, and parents with children. So this man, he's very tall. 6 feet or taller. However, he's also very obese. At least 250 - 300 pounds, if not more. Very overweight, and I guess he didn't fit into any of the normal stalls, because he was waiting for the family washroom. I passed him by when I went into the women's washrooms to clean it (I'm a janitor at one of the local malls). On the way out, maybe 10 minutes later, he was still standing in line, looking very frustrated. I don't remember saying anything, but he turned to me and said something like "I've been waiting forever, how long does it take to change a baby??" Or something like that. I didn't know what to say, so I just looked sheepish and said I was sorry it was taking so long. Keep in mind that all the washrooms, both for men and women, have a handicapped stall in them as well. Anyways, the man continued on to say something how "the idea of a parents washroom is the stupidest idea [he'd] ever heard of". I was working at the time, and would've told him where to shove his gigantic a** had I not been on my shift. I left after he said that, and then the door opened to the family washroom, so he finally got to use it. I wondered if the people inside had heard him, then decided I didn't want to stick around to find out. Such a self-centered jerk. How dare the world not revolve around his gigantic mass because he needed to use a washroom and couldn't walk 20 steps to the handicapped stall in the men's washroom? rolleyes (The hanicapped stall in the men's washroom is the same size as the stall in the upstairs family washroom, which is where this man was.) The mall is actually short on these family washrooms, there are only 2 for the entire mall. But in no way did that man need to raise his voice and be that rude.

Hm... It's fun to read intellectual life. -sigh-
Oh yeah! RANT!

I think crotch droppings was cactuar something or other. I don't mind the child free dolts, but when they start talking about how we should make the human race extinct, killing babies and crap like that, I want to just bang my head. As for people like that Nikolita, some people just aren't happy if they're not taking it out on everyone else, sad as it is.
Viral syndrome is no biggie, just a fancy way of saying you have a virus that they're not sure what it is. I wish I could miss days when I'm sick, rofl

Eeewee crotch droplings? I wonder how they feel knowing then in their definition of the word they themselves equate to nothing more than dried tissue left on their mother's maxi pad. People can be such idiots at times. As for the fat man I would have just looked at him and said...would you preffer me to nurse right in front of you? Because I can do that you know. it's well within my rights. I have no tolerance though for issues like that. Perhaps I am an extremist. I dunno.
On a plus note though...DS was a TINY baby one of our first trips out and I had put him in the sling where he nursed and fell asleep so I discreetly put everything back in place all while mall walking mind you LOL but let the baby sleep in the sling. My older was potty training so we did many a quit jaunt to the restroom that day and I stood outside this time w/ the sleeping one while my husband took her into the bathroom. A man accross the hallway kept eyeballing me and I was getting freaked out in spite of him standing by an empty stroller. Eventually he walked over literally seconds before his wife came out. Peered into the sling and said "Is that one of those breastfeeding things where you can nurse hands free and shop in the mall with?"...um...uhuh was all I managed to say LOL when his wife came out and he turned excited ... "Honey come here! it's one of those nursing slings. You HAVE to get yourself one of these they look so comfortable and it would help you so much!" he continued his excited diatrabe as his wife looked at me with such a look of horror and "OMG I can't believe my husband just did that to you lady please forgive his stupidity" as they walked away. I burst out laughing when they turned the corner and thought...Yay one more conversion when my own husband finally came out of the restroom to my peals of laughter.

XD Related to this topic, tomorrow's Dr. Phil is about current hot topics/debates and breast feeding in public is being covered. Should be interesting to see if 30-somethings or older are more mature about it.

XD No problem, since public breast feeding seems to come up every couple of pages in here I figured it would be of interest.
As long as I don't hear the phrase, "Whip it out," I think I'll be ok, if not I may be screaming at my TV. LOL. I seriously have yet to see these stripper wanna-be mothers that are just letting it all hang out with such reckless abandon.
lol

I've already gagged and have my puke bucket ready. dr. phil has not been entirely pro nursing in the past and his spoilers had me and hundreds of other lactation consultants emailing him before he did the show to do his research before he claimed a woman was doing something abnormal. His trailers for the show have him flabberghasted at the mom who said "It's my child's right to eat, get over it if you are uncomfortable" or something like that in any case LOL. Yeah I'll watch...then probably yell lol. I can still cross my fingers and hope though that he shows it in a positive light.

oO Noooo. He never said anything like that. He was more in the face of the woman who couldn't give a good reason why breast feeding bothers her so much.
His stance seemed to be that public breast feeding is OK, but that people should be socially mindful and if they're making others uncomfortable to have a blanket or something light to cover up with as a compromise to being exhiled to bathrooms. Seemed perfectly reasonable to me and I've never seen a mother who didn't do that. -shrugs-
But I don't see asking someone to try and make an effort to compromise as being pro or anti anything.

Yeah, he wasn't too bad. I was flipping between Dr. Phil and Maury (new teen wanna-be-mommy episode). Dr. Phil did seem to be more in the face of the woman who was so against breastfeeding in public, and that was kinda amusing to watch. I have seen a couple of women breastfeed in public without a blanket or anything like that, and if it happens to bother me, I'll look away. Most women I've seen will use at least a blanket though. 3nodding

Dr. Phil did seem to be more in the face of the woman who was so against breastfeeding in public, and that was kinda amusing to watch. He was more in her face, and I thought he should have brought this up, simply because her arguement boiled down to the fact that it wasn't "attractive", which she said multiple times. It wasn't based on some sense of prudish modesty or religious or anything like that, she simply kept saying "it's not attractive, it's not attractive." Which I mean COME ON. If your strongest arguement is that it's not pleasing to look at, well we can't lock up ugly fat people based on that arguement. I do think it's kinda interesting that if the sliver of breast shown while breast feeding (which they SHOWED on the Dr. Phil show multiple times) is PC enough for television without blurring or editing, then I'd like to say it's safe for public consumption.

XD I missed that part of the episode. I watched the part where one woman said she had the right to tell children if they're doing something wrong. Whether the child was hers or not didn't matter to her. Actually she didn't have any children of her own. rolleyes
Still I'd prefer some one say something to me than my son if they seem to think he's acting out of line. That's just me though. Unless it's a life threatening situation then it should be up to me to discipline him.

See I personally can pick out any breastfeeding woman b/c my feelers are tuned into that stuff...however, it is FAR more obvious to don the magic blanket and really I feel disrespectful to the poor child. When you think about hte logistics of blanket nursing, you are latching blindfolded basically under a cover. This requires you to pull your shirt up much higher to latch and it is hard to be sure nothing is exposed under a blanket...so what normally happened to me...Junior would get all hot and sweaty and bothered and rip it off in a heartbeat and there I was for all the world to see. However, if I calmly turned into the corner of a chair or booth in a restaurant latched hunkered over and sat back up, I was able to get my entire breast covered either by baby or shirt and he could look around, breath and no one was the wiser...NOT EVEN MY HUSBAND hahahahaha! I honestly don't think it was any of that woman's business...and my quote of the day...is....ready?....it's in response to the psycho woman saying "I don't want you shoving it in my face"...
Shoving it in your face would require me getting up from my table, walking to yours, lifting my shirt, removing my bra, hanging over your cup and asking "excuse me but would you like a little cream with your coffee?" I seriously had little patience for her LOL... redface
That being said, blanket or not blanket most women do try to be discreet. We aren't out there pulling our shirts off for the world to see. We don't want you eyeballing our breasts as much as you don't want to eyeball them. So personally, my humble...ok I try to be humble about things at least...my opinion is, just relax it's only a breast. xd It's kind of funny b/c I was yelling at the t.v. that entire segment while my 4 year old yelled with me. The little activist in the making...What have I done? blaugh
