I had no issues breast feeding where ever I was at the moment. It should be a norm, if a person is uncomfortable with seeing a woman breast feed her child, then perhaps that person should not look.

crazy idea, have one of the grandparents or, gasp, a sitter watch the kid if you insist on going out. having kids is a sacrifice, as you already know. part of that is sacrificing a normal social life.

You don't have to tell me about sacrificing a normal social life, I have three children. I was a considerate parent that tried scheduling things around feedings and naps. I hate to hear a child scream, it makes me want to scream, so why would I subject others to it?

But, I will be damned if I am going to completely put my life on hold because someone has an issue with me feeding my child in public, that is a ridiculous request.

it appears that you actually went out of your way to be a decent parent and not a shit-head. the older I get, the more I realize that the latter is much more common.

Common courtesy doesn't really exist anymore, which drives me bat shit crazy. One of my biggest pet peeves, lack of common courtesy; next to not using the god damn turn signal!!

and that's kinda the crux of the issue here... if you know your kid is fussy and likely to ruin everybody's evening, don't take the damned kid to the nice restaurant. take him or her to freaking pizza hut. if you have a brain, don't take your goddamned three year old to the new (hard R) freddy vs. jason movie. for ****'s sake, don't set you and your kid up for failure... know your limitations and don't go about breaking them.

now, as to the airline situation, not sure what the correct answer is. should everybody be subject to flopping titties? we should be so lucky. but common courtesy would say bring a damned blanket. prepare for the situation and everybody's pain will be diminished.

I certainly get what you are saying. I never took my children to a four star restaurant, or a movie theater, nor did I feed without a blanket or something to cover up with. I wasn't thinking about the parents when I covered up, I was thinking about the other little kids that would ask, "Mommy, what is that lady doing?"

The subject is a touchy issue. People argue they don't want the embarrassment of seeing a woman breast feeding, the mother argues that it healthier and natural. I have had a few women comment, "Why don't you feed your child in the bathroom?" I asked them, "Why don't you eat in the bathroom?" It really pissed me off, but remember, I was covered, no pink skin showing at all.

And you don't think your "if you're offended, don't look" comment is any different? It's the same "it's all about me and **** everyone else" attitude that is so prevalent in today's society.

I disagree when it comes to breast feeding. Women use to do nothing but breast feed. It was society that made it taboo.

I do think woman need to cover up, but I don't get why you would be so upset if she were covered. You seem to think a mother should not be seen outside of her home feeding her child.

The only thing the women on the plane did wrong, in my opinion, was not cover up.

What do you expect from a cementhead like this? He's probably pissed the babies weren't aborted. You've got to be totally effed up sexually in this day and age to be freaked out by a woman breastfeeding.

Personally, it wouldn't upset or offend me either way, and I don't even recall ever witnessing it being done anyway. The only thing I took exception to was the earlier comment where someone defended it by saying it was either that or listen to a screaming kid, which is bullshit.

But it is awkward, and I can't for the life of understand why a woman would even want to do it in public in the first place.
