"I don't mind you breastfeeding in public as long as you don't mind me staring" is my 22 yo SIL's current FB status. I just don't know how to respond!
We've talked (or rather communicated via FB) about breastfeeding before. She thinks it should only be done in private, as in a separate room or restroom or completely covered. She knows I disagree:) I respect her opinions and certainly never show skin than I have to to feed my son. I do breastfeed in her and her husband's presence at my in laws and my house. Knowing the way she feels, I tend to use a blanket for a little bit of cover when hey are around.
Yes, she is young and childless so I don't judge her for her views. I certainly had some crazy ones before DS came along! But it irks me what she publicly says! Plus, she and her DH (and 2 of her friends!) are staying at our house for 4 days while they are attending a convention next week near our town. There's no question she will see me breastfeeding in MY house how I normally do.
Sigh. I guess this is just a rant. Thanks for reading. Advice is appreciated:)
