Because I’m under 30.

According to the oh so wise man in the pub.

What the actual fuck, who thinks like that Grin

Aibu to think he’s a weirdo one off or do lots of people have that opinion?!

Grin these folk make me laugh because you can be sure they won't be so insulting in RL as it's they who would come off worse

PortiaCastis · 20/06/2018 20:43

Ah wine sounds good

It doesn't take much to keep you entertained than insulting others, so here's a Biscuit

Only went out for an hour (not to a bar and not to breastfeed, don’t worry folks) and came back to have a good giggle at this. I’ve not actually had anyone criticise my childbearing age, although had plenty of “was it planned?”s at my work 🙄 I’m genuinely shocked people are so rude as to comment (outside of actually having a discussion with a close friend about life choices). Maybe it’s meant to be a conversation starter...?

NotUmbongoUnchained · 20/06/2018 20:56

goos I had some ask me “ is it your husbands?”
I said “no, it’s your husbands.”

Fuck me, this thread is gold. Is it a full moon tonight?

Goostacean · 20/06/2018 20:58

PMSL, well done you! 😂

I ended up putting up a Facebook status about it, along the lines of “please remember this is actually a question about my sex life”. One person I’d literally met twice! Urgh.

FrozenMargarita17 · 20/06/2018 20:59

I'm 30 in October. Looks like dd came too soon then. Grin

JaretsGirlfren · 20/06/2018 21:08

I’m 27 and have 6 year old DD...she won’t fit back up there Shock what am I supposed to do with her? (I’m quite attached)

PortiaCastis · 20/06/2018 21:10

Erm I'm 37 and dd is19 so shoot me now

LBOCS2 · 20/06/2018 21:12

I had one before thirty and one after. Which one am I supposed to be keeping?

I also used to go to the pub for lunch and breastfeed while I was there. There were two of us doing it at the same time. Nipples all over the place.

I mean, obviously I did it because I have no self respect, and any self respecting woman who had had a baby at the wrong age knows better than to go out and have fun. They stay indoors where they belong.

🙄

NotUmbongoUnchained · 20/06/2018 21:14

There was a woman breastfeeding at a table near to the bar, don’t see how it’s any different really! No one even noticed.

Nope, because in the real world the majority of people give zero fucks, as long as the baby isn't screaming. We were there at lunchtime on a weekday so there were often a lot of pensioners around and we had lots of fond comments and smiles. Which was nice.

who said you can't buy class. Hmm

Tartsamazeballs · 20/06/2018 21:25

I breastfed in a bar. Ten years prior I'd got my tits out in the same bar to flash someone. Felt like I'd come full circle with that one.

PortiaCastis · 20/06/2018 21:29

who said you can't buy class
Evidently it's not for sale esecially when online insulting is your hobby

ikeepaforkinmypurse · 20/06/2018 21:35

PortiaCastis hahaha
As opposed to many posters, I haven't actually insulted anyone.
But of course, you are right, a bar is the perfect environment for a baby Wink

LBOCS2 · 20/06/2018 21:42

I'm not entirely sure where I inferred that I have money or class to be honest.

But your last statement indicates that you have a comprehension problem, so we'll let it slide.

(For future reference, intimating that someone has no class for doing something you don't personally agree with could be considered insulting. HTH).

ikeepaforkinmypurse · 20/06/2018 21:51

I'm not entirely sure where I inferred that I have money or class to be honest.

oh, absolutely nowhere I assure you! HTH too, hun.Wink

PortiaCastis · 20/06/2018 21:53

Oh stop being so damn rude and antagonistic

SneakyGremlins · 20/06/2018 21:56

Why is breastfeeding in public an issue Confused

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 20/06/2018 21:59

I was 23 when I had DS1, DM was 22 when she had me. I didn't know there was a law?

Willow2017 · 20/06/2018 22:02

Wow this thread is amazing for random disgust at purely fantasy situations! Why do people get so airiated about something that they actually made up in their own head and projected onto someone else?

WYAF is wrong with people?

Who cares where a woman bfs their baby, its illegal to stop them anyway unless they were in harms way. Get over yourself!

PortiaCastis · 20/06/2018 22:07

DM was 22 when she had me and I made her a Gran at 40 I didn't know there was a law either and it really isn't anyone else's business especially not an interfering busybody in a pub or a judgmental online presence

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 20/06/2018 22:13

no,it's your husband's. 😂😂😂😂😂

Please tell me you actually said that!
