Sleaze!!!!  

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
GRRR.

I was at a wedding last weekend, and as everyone was milling around having pre-dinner drinks I slipped off to a seat on the edge of the dance floor to feed my incredibly distractable baby.

So there I am, trying very hard to keep her focussed with eye contact, etc, since my boob is over the top of my strappy top and I'm feeling a little more exposed than my normal T-shirt wearing style and I don't want her to pop off and get milk on the velvet, when the DJ comes over and asks how old she is, says cute baby etc, all the while PEERING DOWN MY FRONT.

I'm sorry, MATE, but even if my baby's there does NOT make it OK to talk to my breasts. REEEPLUSIVE man. I would have slapped him if I hadn't been so busy looking down my own front.

That is so tacky that he would do that but as we know some people just have no manners.

I'm going to think optimistically and say that perhaps he thought nothing sexual about it. Could be he was trying to show his support for nursing and has fond memories of nursing himself?

After 5 years of being constantly being around nursing women, my DH doesn't even bat an eye if a woman's nursing breast is showing. He doesn't even see it because it's so normal to him. Now if a woman's breast was hanging out sans baby he would notice!

There is a chance he was looking at your breasts in a non-sexual way. There's a chance he was getting off by looking at you in which case I'm sorry you were violated that way.

He should have greeted her first. I usually ask nursing mamas if they mind me looking at the baby, just in case they're the sort to be creeped out by staring. (Okay, which makes all of 3, and 2 are related to me, but at least I've got a 100% rate on my method )

Well, look at it this way...You've still got it.
And at least he wasn't asking you to stop nursing...but eewwww!

My dh caught him staring at a womans nursing breast one day. She of course gave him a dirty look. He felt this big }{. He was sitting there thinking wow it had been 2 or 3 years since our last one had nursed. Completely non-sexual.

Maybe he has a nursing baby at home and he really wasn't thinking sexaully.

I would have asked for a business card and called his company and complained

now if he owned it I would call the Better Business Bureau


sorry this happened

I hope your dh knows to snap his eyes up to hers and say "I'm sorry, I was just thinking that it's been 2 or 3 years since our youngest weaned, I didn't mean to stare." Although, I suspect the situation won't arrise again. Your poor dh...

He was to embarrassed. Plus he didn't think she would believe him.
