breastfeeding episode


Im sorry but breastfeeding your child where when how or what age is NOBODY'S DAMN BUSINESS! So what if the child was 6 years old? There is NO law saying what age your child has to stop breastfeeding! People make me sick bringing the courts into something that isn't any of their business.

You obviously missed the point.

Breastfeeding is for the child. The kid didn't like doing it, but felt obligated to because of things mother said. So yeah, it is their business if a child is manipulated into breastfeeding long past the point where he wanted to.

It's all about what's best for the child. So apparently you have a problem with that.

Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.

NOBODY'S DAMN BUSINESS!

Princess, I couldn't agree more. It's totally between the mother and her child. Now, if the kid is twelve, it's really weird and kinky, but still nobody's business.
The courts and Child Protective Services, as often as not, tear families apart when there is no call to do anything at all.

If this were a "man thing," there would never be any conversation. We need to take back our power (I can't believe I'm saying this) and live within the rules that we make. I am so tired of having my body issues dictated by men, most of whom only think of us as a carnival ride.

I hate people who use big words just to make themselves look perspicacious.

men, most of whom only think of us as a carnival ride.

While I don't wish to pronounce pleonastic platitudes from the pinnacle of professorial pomposity, I hope I may exclude myself from the class of men who think of women as sex objects, although you're probably right about most men.


Until near the middle of the twentieth century, breast feeding was seen as a normal function, an integral part of life.


Just on general principles, I think of women as divine beings, the major civilizing factor for our species and the ultimate source of all life.
