Breastfeeding seems to be a hot topic these days. Whether you do it or don't, see someone do it or not, you have an opinion. It astonishes me and always will that those of us who do breastfeed, and choose to do so when and where our child is hungry are considered 'Militant'.
May I direct anyone who feels that way to dictionary.com - the correct word you are looking for is 'Maternal'.
However they do not feel the same way about themselves. It is apparently not militant to verbally abuse and humiliate a breastfeeding mother. It is not militant to demand that their sensitivities are more important than a hungry baby. Those same people who will look down their nose at you as you walk through the shopping centre with your crying baby trying to find the mothers room. As with everything in parenting, you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Keep doing it despite what people say - you are a bad parent. Don't stand your ground and go find somewhere else to do it - bad parent.
Every single parent on the face of the planet is a bad parent ---- in someones opinion. Every.single.one.
So anyway, the militant solution to public breastfeeding is bottle feeding. So pushed is it that they even push some of the most ridiculous misnomers about the "lack" of benefit in breastfeeding. The amount of people that not only still believe, but still push that breastfeeding has no benefit after 6 months is startling. How in heavens name did the human race survive for so long before the advent of baby formula and heinz baby food??? I don't normally become blatantly insulting on here but seriously - How utterly fucked up in the head are you people to be so blindingly stupid?!
But I digress. So the best solution for our babies is fake milk, because lets all admit it, its a baby sucking on a breast that disturbs your twisted little minds. Fake milk from fake nipples... Oh wait, my baby came out my hooha! (No, I am not apologising for that, either!!!) We better put a stop to that sick practice! C-Sections for all!
Hang on a tick.. the thing goes in where???? Ooooooh no.. that wont do.. You cant have... s.e.x! Not to make a baby, thats disturbing! IVF is the order of the day...
Yes, that is how ridiculous you all sound.
The many faces of Facebook.
Facebook is copping a lot of heat right now. Tribute pages for murder victims Elliot Fletcher and Trinity Bates are being vandalised by childish idiots with nothing better to do. "NOW" its a problem. Its been happening for as long as facebook had open public accounts. There is nothing new in the world. But now the media hype would have us all believe that FB should be monitoring every single page every single moment of every single day. Its simply not possible. I am not saying at all that what these animals did to those pages isnt wrong - only that it is not FBs responsibility to protect everyone out there from the harsh realities of human nature. Some people are just assholes.
FB is a valuable social networking tool which when used responsibly can connect families and friends across great distances. Lets not destroy it by once again forcing the rest of the country to live to the standard of the lowest among us.
Closing Words
Children are not a social accessory or a way to get money. They are a living, breathing feeling responsibility. I would very much like for some parents to finally get this concept on the basis that ITS NOT THAT HARD!
