Sling **** and run. Typical broodmare.

Yes - copious use of the word "****" in a post ... typical troll.

Still at it? She's been in my kill-file since her first troll post. Don't
give her the satisfaction...

Sorry I'll desist
I was having fun with "her" but if its annoying everyone else I'll stop.
(L doesn't annoy me much actually - I find her logic quite funny - but I
do
understand that not everyone here has the same troll-proof hide that I
have
though so I'll stop).

Oh, trolls don't bother me per se, as soon as I tire of them I plonk them
into my kill-file. It's just that CY's thread was otherwise interesting, and
while she may be kill-filed, you're not ;-)
Of course, we could always start up L. a thread of her own since she's so
attention-hungry.

YEAH, like a nursing bathing suit!!! Nursing under a towel, doesn't always
do the trick either, because it's SO fricking hot under there, he bats it
away, and exposes WAY more than the nursing bathing suit did. The only way
ANYONE could have seen anything is if they were staring at me in
anticipation of getting a quick look. I could see my nipple, but I doubt
anyone else would've had much of a chance because my boy's big head was in
the way. I was not shielding anything with my hand, but was certainly not
"whipping it out" either. I DO have a sense of modesty, but I also want to
feed my baby where it is convenient for *US*.

You might want to consider the amount of snot, mucus and fecal matter
in a public swimming pool, not to mention the chemicals. Not exactly
the best environment for eating, IMO.

Like I said before, we were not actually completely IN the pool. We were
sitting on the steps to the pool. Water was nowhere near his mouth. He's
IN the pool playing anyway, but not like he's swallowing gobs of water, so
feeding him there didn't feel like a big deal to *ME*. ymmv.

While I was minding my own business, one of the directors approached me and
asked me very "nicely" if next time I had to nurse if I could be more
discreet, not do it in the pool and go to the deck where I could cover up
with a towel and nobody would see what I was doing.


My answer to this anymore is simply, "Nope." Not said with any rancor,
but said without leaving the door open for further debate or
discussion.

Sorry. Can't. Won't.

Not physically possible. Not bloody likely, and most importantly not
*MY* problem.

I have enough barriers in my life that catering to someone else's
misbegotten sense of "decency" is just not even on the long list of
things to do, ever.

(And the one place I considered an exception is no longer an exception.
If they want me to not nurse there, we'll take our 4 grand per month
and move my MIL to another facility, I'm *tired* of the world's
priggish sense of false modesty about breastfeeding. They can get the
f* over it already and leave me in peace to nurse my baby, who needs my
milk more than they need their precious eyes protected.)

coudn't find anything specific in that bill that said anything about
public/private property. Did anyone else?



Most phrase it something like, "A mother may nurse her baby anywhere
she and her baby are legally entitled to be". And yes, you can flash
skin. Hell, I can't *help* it.

It has nothing to do with fear. Nobody wants to see your boobs. Get
it through your thick heads. I have no care whatsoever if you NIP.
Just keep your boobs covered.

-L.

If people dont' want to see me nurse my baby, they can look away. It is
not possible, when nursing a 15 month old, to keep the breast covered.
I cover it, she uncovers it. I hold her hand down so she can't, and the
covering falls because I'm not holding it. Then she gets mad, and pulls
off, and now not only is the whole thing hanging out, but she's making
noise so people are looking.

Trust me, if you dont' want to see it, don't look, but I'm just *over*
the idea that it matters one whit whether someone sees my nasty nipple
or not. My baby needs to eat. My nipples are what provide her main
source of calories. Ergo, when she is hungry, I will feed her. Period.

Oh yes. I am "cantankerous" because I don't want to see your boobs.
Whatever.

If you don't want to see boobs or hear about breastfeeding, WHY exactly
are you here?

er, my experience in many (though not all) countries outside the US
would suggest this is not the *world's* problem, but predominantly a
prudish American (and perhaps British) problem.

I think the 'law of the land' (e.g., the Federal laws) indicate that

you need to be a member to enter, and/or be signed up for a class --
it's not open to the public in the same way that an MDC pool is), so
they're under our breastfeeding laws. Maybe CY's Y is open to all --
here, though, you need to show a card to get in, not just pay an
admission fee per visit. (e.g., as would be the case for a museum or
other public venue.)

Here in Ottawa, when the laws against smoking in public
places such as restaurants came in, some places tried to
get around it by charging membership fees to come into
a restaurant or bar and claiming it was no longer a
"public" place. I think the authorities squashed that:
if you allow anyone who wants to pay the membership and
come in, it counts as public for purposes of the
antismoking law, I think.

I remember in CA (this was about 4 years ago) you could become a
'member' of a club which permitted smoking. (i.e., buying a 'one-night'
membership).

What, you can't BF ina nursing home, where half the old dears are too out of
it to notice anyway, and the other half don't have their glasses on? That's
nuts!
