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!!!!

Dafty, people aren't so much offended as kind of laughing at your audacious ignorance...if that's what it is.

I suppose everyone is afraid of something...do gay people really upset you?

dp you must know that there are gay parents on MN
and unmarried parents
how can you say that you don't want to offend anyone, while insulting them like this?

thing is, if dp believes all this stuff it is, y'know, fine and good that she states it up front imo. i don't suppose we know how many people agree with her because most won't have the chutzpah to post. i suspect plenty do, tbh.

although i still don't get how any of this makes you the biggest feminist on the MN block, tbh, dp.

I take it back...fuck right off with that line of dogma.

Dog - I can't catch up, I'm herding cows with calves into sheds in case the childens eyes bleed should they see them feeding on their way to school.

Daftpunk -
what about gay women?
or disabled people?
ginger people even?
where should it stop?

I'm not intrigued really. It's as old as the hills, plain ignorant bigotry.

DP, I think you've offended pretty much everyone on here, and I don't think you are in fact very sorry about it.

Why don't you go back to where you came from, which I'm guessing is 1955....

don't be so sure stayfrosty

Quite, IF, or she is just a wind-up?

Yes

sane and normal....... not on this planet!!

God help the world if DP is a sane normal feminist. Can you imagine it?!

You is winding us up, right?

you've said that unmarried parents lack commitment - i find that a personally offensive generalisation
can you not see that you've insulted me and thousands of other posters by saying that?

See, thats how the BNP has so many supporters, all those sane and normal people like DP.....

justcallmedog - yes didn't you know they "decide to lead that life"

No really? I've missed that whole ball game.

what a shame. I was hoping to get quite fond of her...not to be.

seriously, it is shocking. and ignorant of the facts surrounding the stat about married parents.

the gay thing... well, it doesn't really stand up to scrutiny. maybe you can prove that male and female parents are the absolute ideal, so long as they are solvent, don't have mental health issues, are happily married and will be forever etc. but no one has that ideal, we're all just bumbling along. and i see no reason whatsoever why two loving men shouldn't bumble as well as or even better than dh and i.
