Can I just get a hug?  

post #1 of 35
Thread Starter 
I have a very mainstream DH, hes a great guy but we're constantly battleing about anything natural. I got yelled at today for spending $10 at the healthfood store for kiefer and tapioca flour, when he spent $15 on McDonalds yesterday.:

So we just had it out and he said he is going to start an anti breastfeeding group becasue breast feeding is disgusting and immorral and on and on it went. I was in tears by the end of the arguement. I finally told him to stick it and that I was going to nurse my baby untill he was 10 if I wanted to and if he didn't like it to leave me. He stormed off in a huff and I am left here sad and unhappy. So I came here to wine cause I know you all would have something nice to say to help me feel better.

It's always tough when the older baby in the house is a about how you're taking care of the youngest baby in the house.

Yeah. And good for you for standing your ground and doing what's best for the baby.

Wow

I am so sorry, hon. I know how hard it is when someone you love (especially someone who is your partner) goes against what you KNOW is right.

I wish I had some advice for you, but I don't. Sooooo - here is a and for sticking up for yourself and your kiddlettes!!! Way to go!!!

You're a better wife than me I would have politely told him to take a long walk off of a short pier.:

Since I know what background you're coming from, I would suggest that next time he says something you might remind him that Jesus was breastfed, so he may want to rethink the "immoral" aspect of his argument !

Awww, its okay. My boyfriend can be a d**k about it too sometimes! I think guys have trouble with bfing cuz the baby takes over "his" boobies or whatever, and totally disregard all of the benefits of nursing...so immature...

Since you're nursing your ds hopefully he won't grow up to be so jealous of little babies.
