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.

😂

English gardens in Munich for one! Summer only of course

I completely agree with him.

When are you filing for divorce?

Would he be happy to move tables halfway through his meal to accommodate a breastfeeding mum if there were no seats available where he thinks they should be sitting?

Yeah when my DD was hungry and screaming her lungs up I always turned down available tables and waited for ones buried in a hedge so as not to offend cave men!

I totally agree with him. I breastfed both my boys anytime and anywhere I wanted but no one knew. Who wanted to my boob hanging out. Have some decorum.

the number of people on this thread with serious psychosexual issues is astounding

It certainly is. They really should get help.

There's nothing indecorous about your breast being visible when breastfeeding. Sometimes it happens, sometimes that what women want to or need to do at that moment. It isn't indecent or illegal or low class or disgusting or whatever else.

My thoughts about your husband are extremely negative

Shame babies get hungry whether you’re in a “special bonding” location or not.

OP was your husband breastfed as a baby? And did his mother meet his standards? And what about when he’s at the beach? Does he cover up his man boobs? Because I for one find man boobs offensive.

Did I say any of those words, you seem to have thought them up all by yourself. There’s no need for your breasts to be hanging out. I just thought more of myself. I just didn’t feel the need to exhibit myself. But each to their own. People ask for an opinion this is mine. You can continue to disagree with me but I’ll be ignoring you.

I wouldn’t really want to be married to someone like this to be honest. 🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s the most natural thing in the world. It’s time we started normalising it instead of making women hide away when doing it.

It's your implication @threatmatrix by judging women as not having decorum and that you think "more of yourself" and that other women are making an exhibition of themselves. Anyone with half a brain can see the judgement there. Judging other mums for how they feed is unhelpful, unkind and unnecessary, whether that's online or in person.

Your husband and anyone else who thinks like him need to give their heads a wobble. Women should be able to breastfeed wherever and whenever they feel comfortable to do so and/or their baby needs feeding. If this was my husbands opinion I’d have serious questions for myself about what I actually saw in him in the first place.

If I had the time, energy and power of persuasion I would push for there to be compulsory feeding places in all big public spaces. Nice, big, clean spaces full of amenities for those that have young children (like in Denmark and Japan).

Not because I want anyone to hide away, I don’t (I bf everywhere and anywhere!), but because I want more people to feel comfortable feeding their baby and to feel that society prioritises it - the WHO recommends feeding until at least 2, but the UK is so low on this and so many people stigmatise it.

I think it’s sad that your husband feels that way.

So your husband thinks I should go out of my way to find somewhere "discreet" to feed my baby, like it's something I should be ashamed of? He can think what he likes, but I'm free to feed just about anywhere I want and will continue to do so and not give two fucks about what people like your husband might think.

The only reason anyone gets uncomfortable is because of the sexualisation breasts. How do you and your mum feel at the zoo or near livestock where other mammals are nursing. especially since most humans arent just sitting with boobs hanging out ready to be latched onto whenever. Lol 😂

Absolutely this

Totally up to the breastfeeding mother. If he ever manages to breastfeed he can choose where to do it.
I preferred to feed my daughter somewhere quiet as she was very nosey and would stop a lot when there were people to look at but that was my choice. If a baby needs fed then they need to be fed. 🤷

I should imagine that the majority of women DO bf discretely. As in they don't remove their top and bra and sit there with their tits out. They can, however, sit wherever they wish to feed their baby and if other people don't like it, then they don't have to look.

Totally this @threatmatrix take heed!

Well I think that men should be more classy.

All that blowing snot out of their noses on live tv, scratching their balls, letting their arses hang out of their trousers, stinking the toilet out, ogling women, gobbing on pavements, snorting up snot in the back of their throats, I could go on . . . men are vom
