To not give a crap about breastfeeding?

[PortiaNovmerriment]

The threads are EVERYWHERE. My children are practically elderly. I just don't care, alright?

AIBU?

Just avoid the threads, even if they are creeping out of their allotted section. Chat covers anything and everything as does AIBU.
YABU there are lots of topics I'm not interested in but it's not worth getting so het up about it.

Funny how much you like to talk about it curryfreak.

bf is a feding mode.doesnt confer special parenting abilities

if not applicable to you fair enough

however if it is applicable then for some is a big ole deal

Well if it isn't important to you it would'nt matter to you

I wouldn't give a shite either except for numpties who start threads saying I am weird. Then I care.

Hoochie, ds4 is Harry and predictive text calls him Happy. Which is really appropriate as it happens![luv my babs emoticon]

Comewhinewithme I feel soooo much empathy. And my stoat bollock nuggets are made by a little old lady down the road who grows her own stoats. Locally sourced and sustainable.

liquidised nuggets of stoat bollocks can i get them frozen in aldis?

yanbu

I am a bit bored of the bf/ff bunfighting at present - it isn't compulsory to constantly defend a decision that you've made*. I

*unless the decision is to eat staot bollocks that needs defending.

I love Aldi. I'm a convert.

Yiz wagons. Now I have a terrible craving for stoat bollock nuggets. With curry dip.

Hmm - I got far, far more useful advice on here than from MW/HV/family - I was very much 'well, I'll give it a go, because I don't fancy all that sterilising faff, but if it hurts or it's difficult, game over!'

& very very luckily for me I had 3 dc who lunged & latched! I subsequently managed to exclusively bf for the first few months, then mixed feed, with no trouble at all.

If I'd been as clued up as I am now, via MN, I'd probably have tried harder to hold off with the formula. My kids are absolutely fine - I just don't care for the formula industry & I'd've preferred to have given them none less of my money.

These days I'm past the bf stage & yes, the threads don't apply to me personally anymore, & yes, the rucks to follow a predictable pattern.

I'm still very glad the discussion is there.

runnybottom, I want Abrekebabra chips with garlic mayo and cheese!

Chipmonkey - mine too. Although it quickly found a brain and I sent everyone Harry Christmas messages

Personally I am a committed extended bf'er and a peer supporter. I use cloth nappies, grow my own veg and have appallingly behaved children. I find it all very interesting so I click on those threads. I do however switch off when people discuss religion, nannies/childminders, formula feeding etc etc as they are not relevant to me. I dont open those threads. Easy as that

It's not any great surprise to see such discussions on a website for parents, especially as new mums would naturally seek advice on this kind of topic.

Personally, I am sick of seeing threads this week that have all been making the same point about schools closing early for the football- I don't care, my child is not yet at school but to start a thread seeking support for my disdain is not really that interesting and pretty self obsessed!

Oh yes, that is certainly true of me- I'll put my hands up to that one.

chipmonkey ooooh yes! Or taco fries!

It's one of those things that makes you roll your eyes when you are so "over it". But it's important to some.

I remember being particularly stressed by everyones opinions, not actually doing it.

All the posts about babies make me laugh on here - especially the ones along the lines of:
"MY BABY WAS LEFT ALONE ON A CUSHION IN NURSERY FOR 3 MINUTES, SHOULD I GET IT CLOSED DOWN!!!"

"MY DD 6 months ACCIDENTALLY WATCHED SOME TV WHILST I PUSHED THE BUGABOO PAST THE WINDOW OF DIXONS. AIBU TO REPORT MYSELF TO SOCIAL SERVICES.."

"MY DF BABY 2.3 (what's with all the decimal places) GAVE MY DD A DIRTY LOOK AND A SHOVE DURING PLAYGROUP, SHOULD I CUT HER OUT OF MY LIFE..."

What AnyFucker said - once again she is far more eloquent than me

It is a personal thing, up to the mother and no one else.

I have never had a problem with anyone BF I did however have a massive problem with the bitch running the anti natal classes who spent almost 2 hours droning on and on about it being best for baby...and verbally attacking me as I had the audacity to not be breast feeding. (not BF due to health and medication) DH tore strips off of her.

I think some of the BF threads here are helpful as there is a lot of support for new mothers from those who have done it and know the problems that can come about and advice.

I do get really fed up with all the bashing of what ever choice has been made.

BF don't BF I don't care, , if you don't want to read threads about it then don't read them.

Simples!

AIBU to not give a crap about children over the age of 2? My child is still under 2 so how dare you discuss anything else. I am not interested, alright.

OP, maybe it's time to switch to Saga?

YANBU at all.

I care about bf my children, but not how other people feed theirs. Unfortunately, there are some people who do seem to have issues with my feeding choices, going by some recent threads.

It is important that new mums have a chance to discuss the topic though and not feel like they are annoying others by doing so. It's new to them and an important issue.

So, I suggest the OP either hides the threads or tries to ignore them.

"OP, maybe it's time to switch to Saga?"

Almost, chiccadee, almost

YANBU to not be interested in bf but as other posters have asked: why start a thread about it then?

YABU not have included "weaning" in this too. I never want to mash another butternut squash again.
