Oh dear my DH upset someone!

Took our DS to the soft play today. It's a new one with a restaurant and large waiting space with chairs/ dining area.
My DH took our son inside the soft play area and was watching him, it was pretty busy with lots of parents and kids on this under 4 area.
Another parent was sat in the ball pool with her boy who marched up to her, yelled "mummy!", she then whipped out her boob in the ball pool and proceeded to breast feed her son.
It sort of caught my DH by surprise so he looked away to which the woman challenged him and said, "what's your problem?" My husband replied that food and drink shouldn't be consumed in the soft play area and the woman called him a fucking cunt. It was just a really odd scenario with a couple of parents moving their child away and someone muttering mind your language ( who she also told to fuck off.)
We aren't adverse to breast feeding in public and I still do but in the ball pool?!

I wouldn't do it there but people are very sensitive when it comes to breastfeeding.

It certainly was.

cooksomeeggs · 03/08/2019 21:47

@russell19 I guess so. And I suppose I have been in the past if people stare etc.

Whipped? Whipped out her breast? How fucking long was it? Confused did it make the whipcrack sound?

Marlena1 · 03/08/2019 21:48

I'm all for breastfeeding in public (did it myself). However, I don't really see what your DH did wrong. He looked away which is a common reaction (not that she had anything to be ashamed of) bit she could have just let it go, like most people would.

Moodyfoodie · 03/08/2019 21:49

She called someone a fucking cunt whilst in the middle of a soft play and whilst feeding her baby?? If that is indeed true then there's only one fucking cunt in that scenario, and it ain't your DH.

Procrastination4 · 03/08/2019 21:50

Sounds like she has a major problem! I don’t look at mums breastfeeding their children-I would consider it rude and a inconsiderate. Your husband was caught unawares and his reaction is understandable. (It’s not very hygienic anyway-on all fronts). The fact that she swore at the other people too shows who was at fault here.

NoSauce · 03/08/2019 21:50

Is DH prone to exaggerate things?

Manno75 · 03/08/2019 21:51

Her language was definitely out of order in front of kids. Silly cow

cooksomeeggs · 03/08/2019 21:51

@JoxerGoesToStuttgart ha ha!! That did make me laugh! Perhaps I should have said pulled/ got/ released?! The toddler was very demanding and her boob came out very quick!

Ok then!!!

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 03/08/2019 21:52

Perhaps I should have said pulled/ got/ released?!

Or “she breastfed him”?

MarthasGinYard · 03/08/2019 21:53

I'd have reported her vile language

What a beast

Celebelly · 03/08/2019 21:53

Breastfeeding in the ball pool should be the least of anyone's concerns, given how much pee and shit there's probably lurking in there.

@NoSauce, I was there with my DS when it happened.

cookieoclock · 03/08/2019 21:54

I actually agree with your dh. If it’s no food and drink in that area then that should extend to bf. It’s food and it’s drink.
She sounds vile with her language.

HarryElephante · 03/08/2019 21:54

Yeah, this happened.

Louiselouie0890 · 03/08/2019 21:55

I cant be the only one that thinks DH reply was arsey, surely.

Nonnymum · 03/08/2019 21:56

I don't think she was wrong to feed him wherever she wants to. But she was very unreasonable to swear at your husband and behave aggressively

Sandybval · 03/08/2019 21:56

Surely it's dangerous in a ball pit with kids running around. Unlikely it happened though!

cooksomeeggs · 03/08/2019 21:56

@MarthasGinYard we did and so did a couple of other parents but the (2) members of staff were drawing lots as to who would approach her.

@JoxerGoesToStuttgart sorry, was trying to make a joke!
