I live in Aurora and work in Lisle, so we're pretty close. My DD is just over a year old. Actually, it would be kind of fun to get together. However, I work full time, so it would have to be on a weekend. I'm gonna tell you first though that I smoke, so if that bugs you then it might not be a good idea to meet. (and no I don't wanna hear it LOL) As an ex-smoker myself, I can't really complain. I quit when I got pregnant and thankfully have managed not to go back! As long as you're not going to be blowing it in my daughter's face or anything! LOL. Lucy |

Or if we go out somewhere we can sit in nonsmoking and I can just wait. Bub's up from his nap so I'm gonna make it short. But email me offlist if you like, maybe we can plan something Jen |

news:R7Uyb.2081 She told me to my face that she'll never nurse because she was formula fed and she's just fine Yay! Another bunch of future children for our kids to be superior to in general health, incidence of allergies, IQ, cancer risk, weight control, smelly diapers, etc etc etc. If you feel you need to patch things up for the sake of the bride, that's lovely. Friend2 (sheesh! talk about issues) needs a slap upside the head, but as BF has so little to do with the wedding, you can offer to agree to disagree. I hope, for the nice bride's sake, she can get past it. -- Marnie -- |

"AlenasMom" wrote in message e.rogers.com...
Yesterday I was at the dress fitting for my friend's wedding. One of her bride's maids is really uptight and "socially correct" about everything. All the dresses are being custom made, and when we were talking about how my bodice will lace up the front, she asked why. I told her it was because I'll have to have access to nurse Alena. She turned really pale and asked if I was serious. I told her yes (in a voice that meant no nonsense to everyone else) and tried to change the subject. She must have done the math in her head and said: "Don't you think that nursing at 10 months is a little excessive?" snip Oh pass me a ladder for my high horse, the womans an idiot! You did so well not to deck her one! I'm extremely annoyed on your behalf! teapot |

She must have done the math in her head and said: "Don't you think that nursing at 10 months is a little excessive?" Come on...tell her about the mom on here who nursed til her daughter was 6. I can't remember who, but I DARE you!!! heheheh I said no and told her that I plan to nurse until Alena's ready to wean herself. She looked ill. She got up, excused herself and went into another room. The bride went and asked her what was wrong. They were still in hearing distance, but not sight. She said that she wasn't going to be in the wedding party if I was seriously going to be nursing my toddler (since when is a ten month old a toddler????) during the wedding! This doesn't sound like a matter of 'always being a perfectionist about manners'. This sounds like this lady has Issues with a capital Ish. I mean, *who* turns *pale* at the very thought of breastfeeding a child at a wedding (or anywhere else, for that matter)? That's a woman with a body-image problem, who cannot imagine someone else having a different body image. The other thing that springs to mind is, perhaps this woman was sexually abused as a child? I've heard of situations where a woman was sexually abused as a child, and *cannot* bring herself to suckle an infant as a result, or even to think of it. I have a friend, in fact, who was sexually abused as a child (by a woman) and cannot bring herself to be near my children for more than a short while, and especially can't stand being hugged and mauled by them, which of course the kids do to everybody they like. But I do have to agree: if the woman cannot allow the bride to have the wedding as the bride sees fit, then the woman should not be in the wedding party. --angela |
