OMG - I can't believe the T***er on this thread!!

HERE
The poor OP has had verbal abuse for BF in public and a guy on pg2 of the thread likens it to having a poo in public ! WTF???

Does nobody read my f'ing comments properly or something? I am not 'insisting' that I am right, just that I am entitled to my own opinion and just because my views do not match yours does not make them automatically wrong!!! And MY DAD IS DISABLED so I know not everyone who is disabled needs a wheelchair. All I am saying is that the woman in question got out of her car, displayed her blue badge and then easiliy and unaided walked to the shops. Maybe she was having a 'good day' and genually struggles other days but on that day she was having no problems laughing and joking with the other person in her car. As for if it's easy to get a blue badge, maybe different parts of the country are different but I know of several people who have got one (who didn't really need one) and then said how easy it was to get one. Anyway my last post on the subject as it's all getting a tad boring now. Forget I said anything I'll just agree with everyone else on here in future even if it's not what I really think!

Haribosmum, I 'm afraid you're not going to get anywhere. It's a subject that gets alot of people's backs up. The best way to go now would be to leave be.

I do believe in free speech. Hence my right to call you a nob

I withdraw it though, because I can. But I think you were misguided. And you clearly didn't read MY post or you would see I did have a point to make...

Hunker, you nob!

To get back to the original topic, I am enraged and even though I've never hit anyone before it would be all I could do to hold myself back from giving that rude bloke an almighty slap. Perhaps it might be more productive to come up with a top 10 list of witty responses for the imbeciles who can't cope with the fact that breastfeeding is normal and natural, in public or in private. Whaddya reckon? I'll start:

1. Offer to feed in the toilet as long as the offended diner agrees to do the same with their meal (love that one, whoever came up with it first)

2. Offer to give them the number of a good psychiatrist as they clearly need therapy

Any more?

1. Go away you Twunt?

Not witty, but it is how I would feel

"i'll hide my boobs if you hide your face"?

How close was he looking, most people i know you have breastfed in public you don't even notice.

I mean unless dh doesn't notice these things, i mean i fed dd when we were out for the day when he said doesn't dd need feeding about an hour after i fed her. I was sitting oposite him while having our lunch.

I always cover up with a muslin - don't much fancy flashing me boobs at every Tom, Dick and Harry in the vicinity. They'd have to look pretty closely to spy anything. That said, it's all contextual, isn't it? Would the same people complain about women going topless on a beach? Or in a lads' mag?

1. Say "I'm sorry, we are not at home to Mr. Tantrum"

OK I would do this:

1. (Silent, intimidatomg stare, with full on eye contact, with a definite undercurrent of potential violence.)

I am quite good at that

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Not even going to go there

Some of those attitudes are horrendous.

I will NOT post on it. Pixiefish has stepped away from the keyboard

I am gobsmacked. Are these the same people who happily read the Sun, the Mirror and the News of the World on the tube each morning. Not offensive to gawp at big knockers on pretty girls on page 3, offensiveif someone discreetly gets one out to feed a baby. Just which one is disgusting?

The only times I've felt embarrassed about bf'ing were a) at a BBQ thrown by a colleague whose 12 year old son I teach. Poor lad was fascinated by dd right up till the point where Mrs Teacher had to get a boob out &

b) ANY time my dad's in the vicinity - anywhere public he used to feel it was incumbent on him to 'shield' me whilst simultaneously completely avoiding eye contact...

...bless him, he's an old fart with oldfashioned views. But he'd be MUCH more shocked by anyone who was rude to a bf'ing lady.

OMG - have you lot been able to read the thread on MSE? There are some classic quotes on there!! I know everyone is entitled to there opinion but

"The point is many people in our society don't consider Breast Feeding in public as 'a normal thing being done by a normal person' !!

The various contributions to this thread should have helped you (I assume a person of at least average intelligence) now realise this. If you do realise it you should encourage friends/others etc to avoid causing offence.

It is about all members of a society striving to live in peace together without causing offence by unacceptable behaviour and conduct or doing something that they know causes offence to many in that society.

I have always felt that there is a degree of exhibitionism intended by mothers breast feeding in public, it is a case of 'I will do what I want to do', and sod anyone who is offended or objects. It shows a lack of consideration to others in society."

"Clearly it is people like you (that hold views very similar to you on Breast Feeding in public) that know that breast feeding in public causes offence to many, that belligerently carry on regardless of the offence they know they are causing, that are the problem here.
Breast feeding in public is simply inconsiderate behaviour."

"As you now know breast feeding in public causes offence to many, the actions of a reasonable and considerate person would be to cease the offensive conduct..............if they cared about other people."

I amend my previous post:

1. Go away you Twunt?

to

1. Feck off you fecking twunt

I appologise for swearing.

i cant believe this thread!are there really still people in this country with that attitude?

its offensive to bf in public but its ok for my children to be subjected to images of womens' breasts every time they walk into a newsagents or supermarket?

i'm sure i'm registered with MSE...

I dont agree at all bubblerock

why is it OK to read the Sun in public with Page 3 glaring at everyone walking by but its not ok to BF?

Yes, some people are not discrete but that still doesnt mean we have to go & sit in a toilet to feed out babies

makes me so angry that in 2007 we are STILL having to justify feeding a baby unless we have a bottle

PARP

oh & I used to feed my first born with a towel on his head so that noone could see anything - would you like to eat your dinner covered in a towel?

+oops
sorry Bubblerock - thought you were quoting yourself
