Speaking of which (referring to the last two lines of the last post), What do you all think of breast-feeding in public? I personally think that all women everywhere should be made to feel completely comfortable breast-feeding in public. I mean, that's what they're there for, people. God created a woman's breasts to feed her babies. Period. It took men's twisted mommy issues to transform them into something unmentionable that must be covered up at all times. Fine, so that damage has been done and we must all maintain a certain measure of privacy so as not to enflame the poor pathetic males who cannot concentrate when even the word "breast" is mentioned in open conversation (unless, of course, it is a conversation about "chicken breasts," in which case the stomach wins out over the, well, you know). But to then imply that one must hide them when they are doing that very thing for which they were created is completely pathetic and wrong. It is not some dirty habit that should be held to designated places, like smoking, or something that's just gross and smelly, like peeing and...number two, nor is it in any way sexual and thus prone to censorship. Breastfeeding is a natural, beautiful, necessary component of life and therefor should be allowed, and encouraged, to take place out in the open anywhere and everywhere.

Yes I have a comment...2 blogs in one day means you need to go clean something...mom
Hey!
She did clean a bunch, make a great dinner and still had lots of energy for a family walk and game with the boys!
On her topical point, I agree completely that women should be able to publicly nurse without concern or fear.
Of course you do...mom
Pay no attention, Jer...it's why they call it "mean o pause".

so, ya don't like peeing or number two??? How about numbers three, or four? Are ALL numbers to be banned in public??? Jeesh...and, btw, therefore has 3 (number three) e's!!

honestly, for the life of me, as a guy I have no idea on how you ladies feed your breasts anyways. I tried feeding mine once, and it really hurt! It sure is obvious, though, that some women have a much better knack for it than others..

I am going to revoke all comment privileges from you, dad.
Hey!! That's censorship!!!

OK. Why haven't you blogged in a while??? I keep checking and you keep not doing it! That is annoying!!! Please write something so I have something to read!!!! Thank you.
Hey, you never gave me your opinion about breast-feeding in public, oh renowned mother of five. What gives?
May I note that I a) didn't write anything on any blog this past week but also b) didn't clean anything either. So the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Actually, in response to the post I also c) didn't feed any babies in public. So I'm three for three and hence probably have no right to comment on any of this whatsoever. See, that's lawyerly-type thinking, people.
