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

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!!!!

Worried? Not worried.

Saddened by what you've said on here? Absolutely.

But whatever, you just carry on here and dig your own grave - this isn't worth a moment more of my life.

Good night.

treedelivery, the thread has moved on and all the people who are offended by their DCs seeing breastfeeding have gone for a lie down with a cool flannel over their eyes

Daftpunk, I'm actually concerned at the level of homophobia rearing it's head here.

Can you offer anything to put my mind at rest? I'd like to have thought better of you tbh. I guess nobody is as perfect as we would wish them to be.

listen...i have nothing against homosexuals...but once you decide to lead that life you have to forget about children, and i'm sure most of them do.

Night Kerry Love ya

our upstairs neighbours (gay chaps dontchaknow?) co-parent their two kids with two of their lesbian chums. it's very normal and boring and loving and shouty. not extreme at all, actually. i think me and dh are the more extreme parents, tbh.

do you think there's a tv series in this? Extreme Parenting: When Moms Get Mad, They Get Typing.

RedOnHerHead · 17/05/2009 22:07

I just walked into an arguement! love a good fight - especially when its being fuelled by flailing bosoms!

Habbibu · 17/05/2009 22:08

Well, that's true, hoochie. It's not like these discussions ever develop into anything constructive, ime, anyway. Time to call it a night, I think.

InternationalFlight · 17/05/2009 22:08

Oh that's fucking hilarious, and also very offensive.

InternationalFlight · 17/05/2009 22:08

@dafty btw

StealthPolarBear · 17/05/2009 22:09

No but there's extreme breastfeeding on Tuesday - a woman feeding an 8yo and a 7yo. I have taken Wednesday off to catch up on MN.

SPB -

I am in the first stage of shock [re feeding], will lurk for the rest of the shocks me thinks.

AitchTwoOh · 17/05/2009 22:09

'once you decide to lead that life'? how very retro.

RedOnHerHead · 17/05/2009 22:10

daftpunk - I had no idea gay people decided to "lead that life"

daftpunk you've surpassed yourself this week
what is going on with you?

InternationalFlight · 17/05/2009 22:10

Am also a bit shocked that I used an apostrophe in the wrong place. I NEVER do that sorry

TheCrackFox · 17/05/2009 22:11

It is much better to have tens of thousands of children languishing in the care system than to be adopted by a pair of loving, gay men?

This is the weirdest BF in public thread yet.
