I thinking some breastfeeding mums are attention seeking weirdos who seen to need constant breasty attention and pats on the back for getting their baps out ??

[MmmCake]

Woohooo for you, you're getting your baps out in public and feeding your child, same as I did for two years, Without any hassle from anybody.Public or otherwise. The main difference being the whole world didn't have to keep being told about it.

I can just imagine them, sat as predominantly as possible, glaring over their babies head if somebody dares to even look in their direction...

And don't even get me STARTED on the competitive extended breastfeeders.....

NO ONE FUCKING CARES !

OK ?

gosh, there are so many people out there with no sense of humour......

Wouldn't be a topic for discussion in remote Africa as breastfeeding would be totally accepted by all members of society as the done thing.

that's bloody funny

How was the wheatgrass, Shirley?

if you breastfed for two years, why not give other women support as a peer supporter at a breastfeeding cafe, rather than being derogatory and rude?

so I am interested in why you needed to mention the fact that YOU did it too.

i mean, it doesn't matter does it? and people who mention it (when asked, on a forum, for their opinion) are attention-seeking

so why did you? cos you want to feel superior but still let everyone know?
cos you're scared people might otherwise think you used bottles?

you're a nutcase. if it's SO un-noteworthy then I'd really LOVE to know why you felt the need to start a thread about it.

I know what you mean cakey but, really, there were only one or two aggressive/militant/shouty breastfeeders on that thread. Almost everyone else was saying ofgs don't be such a twunt.

It's only a feeding choice, I bet if we ventured over to some remote African tribe their main topic of conversation isn't the ins and outs of breastfeeding, they just DO it"

turns out though, that we're NOT in an African tribe doesn't it? and seeing as right here, right now breastfeeders are in the vast MINORITY I think it's totally understandable that those who do feed for longer than a few days/weeks feel very proud of themselves. they're in a tiny percentage of mothers.
And they need to talk about the ins and outs of it because it is NOT the norm and because good, factual information is very hard to come by out there in the real world

OP your being delusional. Never mind, just go and pour yourself a drink.

she's just making a joke at the expense of no-one in particular,......sheeesh. A "nutcase"?

ohhhhhh ok so this is a thread about a thread right?

where you know what you're talking about but no-one else does?

ffs why do i waste my time?

A bit minging actually KnottyLocks.

Everytime I burp I can taste it again.

mmmmmm....greeeeen

a joke?

the OP doesn't read too much like a joke. I clearly am missing the "point"

probably because I wasn't on whatever other thread it is that this whole thing is about

I'll give a miss then, Shirl. Green burps not my thing.

well you know you don't HAVE to read threads if you don't want to

if you're sick of breastfeeding/weaning etc etc... then don't read threads about them... it's quite simple really

If you don't like the bf threads, the best thing to do is ignore them, if the majority felt that way they would disappear.

Having a rant about some nameless people who may or may not exist isn't really helpful.

where did i say you shouldn't state your opinion?

you're very defensive altinkum!

i haven't said I'm sick of anything, so why would i want to avoid them?
I was just pointing out because you said that you were sick of them.

i can't really understand why you would read lots of threads about breastfeeding if you are sick of reading threads about breastfeeding....

soooo... if everything should stick to its own specific forum, then what CAN be posted in AIBU? not this thread clearly, cos this is about BF (you should probably report it.
perhaps you could write us out a list of acceptable subjects that we're allowed to talk about here?

AIBU to thnk some trolls OPs should fuck the fuck off?

but do you not think that on an internet forum, where people are often ASKING about breastfeeding... that people will share?

we're not all going to turn around and just sy "meh, it's just feeding" are we?

i mean, I don't piss about on the chicken keepers forum and then start complaining about all the chicken threads and how farmers in Yugoslavia just get on with keeping their chickens and don't need to talk about it

it's just weird to complain about people talking about stuff online isn't it?

And what is it with mums making up stories about being abused whilst breastfeeding on the bus ??

So not only are they attention seeking fantasists, they are also that thick they don't realise buses have damn good cctv these days...

Their was even a young girl on here who seemed to come a cropper whilst breastfeeding on a weekly basis, no doubt 99.9% of her 'stories' were made up, nuff said.

well breastfeeding/bottlefeeding/weaning etc etc are always contentious aren't they?

they do generally end up in catfights, which is a shame because i've been on maybe 2 or 3 where people have had really good conversations, which will be helpful to people who are searching for info later on...
