To think I've just heard the most ridiculous view on breastfeeding?

[firstnightwemet]

This is regarding the Saccone Jolys and the dads view.

A boy of a certain age (from around 6) shouldn't see his mother breast feed due to sexual feelings

Aibu to think this is both a disgusting and ridiculous view?

I bf my dd in front of my 16 year old, never in a million years would I see it or him as anything other then feeding a young child.
I would worry more they think this way in the first place tbh.

Surely it's a good thing to feed in front of boys as then they won't see boobs as just sexual things?
I feed DD in front of my dad, he just doesn't stare at my boob. No child is going to sexual use their own mother Ffs.

Sadly it doesn't really surprise me to hear him expressing this view. They have very old fashioned gender expectations of their kids. I think it really took them by surprise that their little boy wanted to dress in princess dresses and do dance lessons like the ones forced on his big sister. He also was very disrespectful to another vlogger suggesting they shouldn't trust her to give directions as she used to be a model and has made a very ill advised rape joke too.

I breastfed in front of my friends 8 year old son. He even got an up close view as he is besotted with my daughter and wanted to stroke her head. He didn't give a shit about my boobs. Jonathan Joly is an absolute fucking tool.

His mother must be going around in public wearing a paper bag over her head so proud!

That's a disgusting idea. A boy, teen or man should be able to get used to seeing women breast feeding. Ok some older boys may be a bit shy about it but it's not sexual,. Younger kids don't really give a shit.

Weird, YANBU.
