To be so upset and angry because of complaint about my friend breastfeeding?

[memoo]

My friend and work colleague had a DD 6 months ago. We both work in a primary school.

Several weeks ago my friend visited her old reception class in school. The class topic has been 'Growing' ang the reception teacher thought it would be nice for my friend to bring her DD in during the lesson where they would be talking about babies.

I've just had a phone call from my friend and I'm really angry at what she told me.

Apparently at the end of the lesson in school my friend needed to feed her DD and so sat quietly in the reading corner away from the children while she BF.

Friend had a call from the head on Friday telling her that a parent has complained about her BF'ing in front of the children

This parent said that her DS had said he had seen Mrs "boobies" and had been a bit giggley about it.

The head is being lovely and only spoke to my friend about purely to let her know what has happen and as far as I know this parent has been put in her place.

I am just so shocked that this parent could do this. I know the parent in question and the more I think about it I#m getting more and more angry!!!!

What do you mean by feminism, daftpunk? Because I think you have your very own brand.

'oh and KM, ...what do you think of two gay men bringing up a child...would you say thats a good environment? '

Did I just read that right?

DP I thought you were intelligent, tell me you are kidding.

KM...you have no problem with two gay men bringing up a child...but you have a problem with me saying dc are better off with a male/female parent....you are very odd..

DP I don't get that, why does that argument correlate at all?

Daftpunk, what an obtuse argument.

Good point, Aitch - there are so many confounders in studies like these, not least their (mis)reporting in the press (no offence to you and your kind, obv!).

Flight, I'm confused too - I have no problem with two gay men brining up a child but I dislike homophobia.

I don't see the paradox.

My stance by the way is that loving people bringing up a child is fine, whichever their orientation sexually...

dp - your argument there doesn't make sense at all - kerry maid is happy with mm/mf/ff parents, and you are not - her logic is internally consistent, as is yours - they don't match, that's for sure...

OBV

keepin' well, my little hab?

nternationalflight;

KM is obv all for human rights..and you can't get any more extreme than gay men bringing up a child...but she wants to get my posts deleted...what about my rights?

Exactly Kerry.

Daft has backed herself into a lickle corner by the look of things.

...erm...don't think that merits a reply really...

is two men bringing up a child the most extreme thing you can think of, dp? you wanna gerrout mooooore.

Daftpunk, why do you think you are the biggest feminist on mumsnet?

I said that I considered your post offensive and would bring it to MNHQs attention, and that what they did with it was up to them.

Are you worried it will get deleted then? If it were deleted, why do you think that would be?

"i am a feminist...probably the biggest one on mumsnet."

You're the biggest something on MN, daftpunk, but feminist is not it!

And you might want to check your "facts" because you have them all arseways. You do know that being in the Daily Mail doesn't make it a fact, don't you?

I am, thanks, m'dear. Will email you soon.

dp - "you can't get any more extreme than gay men bringing up a child", well, I guess extreme is a word one can adjust to whatever parameters you want to set!

I was going to lurk but I just can't.

I am sooooooo fed up that anyone would mind their child seeing a baby breast feed.

Will cows have to feed calves in sheds?

What if the cat has kittens?

This mother wasn't having her tits licked and cooing in enjoyment ffs, she was feeding.

What are boobs for, or have I missed something.

FFS. Harumph.

'and you can't get any more extreme than gay men bringing up a child' @&(&%&^%!!!!!

KM;...you bring it to MNHQ attention, if that's all you've got to worry about i feel sorry for you.
