Oh dear my DH upset someone!

[cooksomeeggs]

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?!

Cool story

Oh... out not oui

Ok are you prone to exaggerate things?

Maybe she has had a really bad experience whilst breastfeeding in public?

Still, no excuse for her language.

Louise, it isn't arsey, it's factual.

Breast milk is a possible contaminate of multiple infectious diseases. It's a bodily fluid.

She was rude to swear.

Your DH was rude to tell her where she should or shouldn't breastfeed.

Anywhere that the mother chooses to feed is appropriate. There's no logical reason for it to be a problem in a ball pool.

He looked away, I think that’s perfectly reasonable thing to do, if he had sat and watched would she have called him a f’in pervert? Sounds like she was having a shit day and your DH caught the wrath of it

It doesn't seem massively safe. Kids go mental in ball parks.

There's no logical reason for it to be a problem in a ball pool.

But why though? Surely it's more comfortable by taking a few steps out of the pit? There's other children who probably want to play in it.

Good try.

@Auramigraine possibly. Which is why we left it after the swearing.

@NoSauce not particularly.

Food and drink should not be consumed in the ball pit made me laugh.

Your DH didn't do anything wrong. I think his reaction was pretty normal. I would've looked away too, not because it offended me but because where the hell do you look when someone decides to breastfeed in a ball pit.

I do hope this is true, I laughed so much at your DHs response I had to show it to my DH (who 100% would have said this so I'm partial to believing it)

@C0untDucku1a there was a big sign saying this as you go in and they make you read a "rules" sheet before you go in.

I love the summer holidays on Mumsnet 😂

@Boneshere your original comment about being ‘off her meds’ is fucking disgusting. Think about what you’re saying in terms of how the mentally ill are viewed/treated.

Is your husband the ball pool police?

Is this thread about breastfeeding or about her language? It seems to be crossing over and I am struggling to see what the major issue is.

What if she had fed her child on demand as described and said nothing when your husband looked away. What would you thread have been?

If she genuinely spoke to your husband in the way she did then that’s an issue.

I also, however, think your husband’s verbal response was glib and smart arsey.

Everyone calling @cooksomeeggs a troll - if you search her history she has actually been around for a while with fairly non-troll like behaviour...

Her reaction and what he says he did cannot possibly be consistent unless she was high or having some kind of mh episode while looking after her baby.

My suspicion would be that DH was a lot more unreasonable than simply turning his head the other way, or she was a lot less unreasonable than suddenly calling people cunts in the soft play area with no provocation whatsoever.

Something about the story needs to be clarified.

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

Fucking pissed myself.

That is all.
