My husband thinks breastfeeding women should be more classy

[marshmallowburn]

He thinks if you are feeding, do not do it in the centre of a food court , try to go to the edges. Choose your seat around the fringe. Preferably near a potted plant. Choose to be discreet. Do not make a spectacle of yourself ( in Parliament),
In a restaurant, don't sit in the middle.
Women should show more discretion and decorum.

He's bang out of order!
The baby has the right to feed wherever everybody else is being fed!

I think your husband should keeps his thoughts to himself.

I absolutely agree, natural it is but it gives me the absolute heave and my elderly mum gets embarrassed. It’s such a special part of bonding it does seem weird to me woman aren’t more discreet. I appreciate me and DM and your DH are in the minority though.

My husband thinks your husband is a n*b. 😂

He is just showing his ignorance. He sounds like an annoying person.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Or
Maybe your husband could avert his eyes from a mother feeding her child.

Why are there so many weird breastfeeding threads at the moment

Yeah he can fuck right off with that attitude. I hope he's never expressed (ha) that attitude towards any other woman and that he's never passive aggressively failed to hide his horror at those "indiscreet" women.

It's feeding a baby. It's appropriate anywhere that a parent would bottle feed.

Some areas are on half term this week?

Who gives a flying fuck what your husband thinks 🤔

Maybe he should wear a paper bag over his head, problem solved

What does more discreet mean to you?

I never saw it as particularly a special bonding experience. It was just something I got on with. It was easy and convenient and necessary so I just did it whenever needed, wherever that happened to be. You'd have had to be right up close and staring right at me to see anything. So if that's what you and your mum are doing that's on you.

And why have you decided to enlighten us with your husband’s wisdom? Does anyone care? I have breastfed my children openly and will continue to do so, thanks very much

Is he always an insufferable opinionated jackass?

I don't know why being discreet is controversial? You just life your top up and wear breastfeeding-suitable clothes. Win-win for everyone.

I don't think you need to be exiled sit by a potted plant, however. Nobody could see when I was breastfeeding. I've had friends/family lean over and touch/kiss baby without realising (and then be mortified as a result).

Decorum what century is he living in.

And what did you reply to your Ignorant pig of a husband OP?

He can fuck off elsewhere if he doesn’t want to see it. Or just look away.

Have you started a thread just to tell us what your husband thinks? Why would we be that interested? Are you asking a question? If it's your opinion, say so, and people can discuss it with you. Otherwise this thread is just "please read to this man's opinion on something that is nothing to do with him".

So I come from a country where women are not well treated, our sex ratio is very low due to female foeticide and harassment of women is very common. And yet I have breastfed EVERYWHERE in public in India and no one has given a shit. (Breastfeeding rates in India are pretty high including across middle and upper middle classes). People just look away and give you your privacy. (And it’s not a country known for its privacy…)
It’s not hard to do. Your husband can go to the edge of the food court if he so wishes.
And what is this weird comment about a bonding experience? First and foremost it’s nutrition. It’s an entirely natural way of feeding a baby. That it uses a body part that has been sexualised is not the fault of women.

Is your husband a pervert who can't pass by women feeding their babies without getting involved or aroused? He needs to hand himself into the police or seek out a forensic psychologist for his issues, rather than trying to project them on to mums who are doing what nature intended.
