Dh is embarassed - Page 2

[mama_at_home]

I'm a mom, I got mom boobs, mom tummy, and I'm going to whip my boob out wherever, whenever. I think he was mostly saying something because of all the old men in there drinkin coffee. And all the mainstream mothers around us happily feeding their babies formula, looking over at me like I was streaking through restraunt.

You are cracking me up this morning. :

My dh is totally comfortable with me nursing babies in public but it makes him uncomfortable when my 3 year old NIP. I try not to nurse my 3 year old in public unless it is necessary and I normally just find a quiet corner. Last time I read a magazine and it covered his head so it looked like he was sleeping.

I totally agree with the mama that said that covering up with blankets attract more attention.

How annoying. : Happy Mothers Day, indeed. Is it just me, or does the "protective" attitude and the "omgz someone might see you!" attitude just smack of ownership and disrespect?

Or does he think that it's unattractive and might put someone off their breakfast, much like some of us sometimes have to tell our guys to pull the back of their pants up? That sure ain't because we think someone will be checking that stuff out.

So I'd put this question to him. Does he think your boobs are his, or ugly?

my dh was like that a little with our first. now with our 3rd he just knows more whats going to happen and is fine with it. I agree that covering over with the blanket and having the baby keep pulling it off attracts more attention than not covering up. We have had some rude looks before, but I feel the same way, they can just not look then

I am sorry that happened to you especially coming from your DH. That must have been heartbreaking for you. I hated covering in public. Esecially since I don't cover at home. It made going put very difficult. At my own IL's I have to go to another room and be completely separated from everynbody else in order to feed the children. I HATE IT!!!!!!!! Sorry got off on my own little issue there. I just wanted to send you a (((((HUG))))).

I wouldn't do it. I'd stay right where I was and feed my baby. It's completely unreasonable of them. I wouldn't leave the room for anyone! I don't care who they are or what their problem is! :

Its possible I wouldn't be BF if my husband and his mom and dad hadn't pushed it so hard. No woman in my family has BF before.

My DH is so comfortable with me NIP that he gets pissed if I cover up my DS with a blanket. He can not stand to he his son sweating. I have seen him get in staring contests and get all puffed up and menacing at someone giving me mean looks for NIP. His mother EBF him and his sister. He is very sweet, I am lucky!

Not posting this to brag - so you could give your husband behavior that you might feel is more supportive to emulate.
