Heh. Refer to my earlier comments regarding fathers-in-law, coffee-making and not thinking too hard about what 'that' might be in the fridge...

Seriously though, have a sense of freaking humour, otherwise I'll assume your mums are still feeding you and I've hit a raw nerve.

I'm poking fun at a slighly archaic society that fanatically promotes breast feeding. Yes, they do provide support and information with what can be a tricky and painful thing. They can also make a mother feel like absolute crap when they are unable to breastfeed, which isn't cool at all.

Whatever though, if breastfeeding your school age children doesn't make you uncomfortable then go for it.

Sedge.

My wife was a LeLeche Leader and breastfed our 4 kids well beyond what is considered normal,but in other cultures of course they probably think she stopped early.She trained new Leaders and pushy over zealous born again types were certainly discouraged,it's support the new mothers need,not a brow beating.But it's an emotional time for them and support from a stranger can often be seen as interfering,it's a fine line they have to tread.Then of course there is the father,he may have diferent views and it's not on to breastfeed for him,more pressure for the mother,their mothers,mother in laws,grandmothers...everyone is in there with a view...post natal depression,I don't blame them.

It was a surprise for me to find one of our members was one of the babies in my wifes LeLeche members playgroup - the prick pushed my little daughter over....it's payback time now Erik,fathers never forget.....

There are a whole lot of things I'd rather not see,Helen Clark for instance,but if I can't do anything about it I don't get bent out of shape about it.

Don't look.

There are far worse things to put you off a meal than some woman breastfeeding.

The way some people eat is enough to make me sick. Drool, crumbs etc flying everywhere, mouth agape.....gross.

Slightly off topic here, but who ever said NZ was a liberal society? There are plenty of conservatives here. It might not be total Nazi-ville, hopefully a nice middle ground. We want to liberalise some things, i.e. this breast feeding in public issue, and at the same time legislate the hell out of running a business, i.e. the holidays act, or how someone can run their pub, i.e. the pub smoking ban.

As above...comes down to inconsistencies in 'what is considered appropriate'. The same people who want to promote public breast feeding and say "if you don't like it, don't look" are often the same people who put pressure on the censorship board to ban violent films and games, when they should simply "not watch/play them".

You make it sound like you cannot respect others wishes to breast feed. If they are doing it in public, what is making you look at it?

We are not. Despite all the hurrah about our so-called liberal society, legally we have never been more regulated in most areas. Sure, we used to have odd Sunday-trading laws, 6 o'clock pub closing, rail transport protectionism and the like, but we also had a society that mostly controlled its own excesses without laws to do it for us.

I was doing a listing presentation one night. Mum and Dad were on the couch, when this 5 year old toddles up, asks Mum for the teat and starts to feed.
Say what you like, but this seriously grossed me out.
Then when dinner was out of the way, they proceeded to get the little darlings opinion on how they should sell their house.

I agree with WINJA.
It confuses me that anyone would find breastfeeding a baby offensive.

I plead not guilty... actually I can't remember the event.

Won't help. He'll 'ave yer...

In fact, this reminds me. Motu, a white Pajero took a little 'tee hee, let's make the bugger piss his pants' swipe at me from the fast lane as I went past in 2A in the morning, just before Patiki road, a couple of months back. Was that you?

**Krusti** · 7th April 2005, 21:33

As my wife says...."If only I could wean my hubby"
