Amymama,

I think I was a part of the thread you are referring to, but you have kind of taken your "quote" out of context.

Pallas, the thread was started by a woman who knew someone whose ex-husband wanted overnight visits with their child, age three. The child cosleeps with his mama & nurses at night, & most posters thought it was wrong for the father to try to force overnight visits before the CHILD was ready.

I hope everyone agrees that this would be wrong.

I also cannot stand when fathers are considered to be "babysitting." And I cannot STAND that Sears commercial!!

Hope no one minds me butting in here!

Love, Jenny

actually I think the majority of the posters felt that the father deserved the visits and that it would not be detrimental to the nursing relationship

Thank you for bringing this up. It is my pet peeve.

They are parenting not babysitting.
