Then you and those customers need to grow up. How would you like it if I draped a blanket over your head during your dinner? Many babies HATE being covered up, and will throw a fit if you try.

1/4/2009 2:38:14 PM

then maybe those babies should grow up instead.

i just cant believe some people think like this

i mean its one thing to not be bothered by it, but seriously....i can definitely understand how some people that went out for a decent meal at outback would be upset if something like that happened

1/4/2009 2:55:16 PM

i know I don't want go out for a nice dinner and be stuck at the table next to some whiny ass baby sucking on tit, especially when its one of those fat, nasty tits. If I were a mom, I'd have some consideration for others and cover it up.

Everyone else in the restaurant wins: 147 people eating dinner : 1 RAWR RAWR I LOVE BEING NATURAL IN PUBLIC mother.

The baby is much more likely to be whiny and crying when he's NOT feeding. Feeding shuts them up.

And as I said, with many babies, maybe even most, covering them up will make them pretty upset. And nobody wants that.

1/4/2009 3:05:12 PM

tits are fine

can we have a ban on babies?

1/4/2009 3:07:24 PM

i guess it comes down to would you rather hear a baby cry or see some chick with a baby sucking on a potentially gross boob

[Edited on January 4, 2009 at 3:08 PM. Reason : ^for real lol]

1/4/2009 3:08:25 PM

well, a good amount of the time, if a baby won't stfu, one of the parents gets up and walks around outside with it or something

1/4/2009 3:09:58 PM

1/4/2009 3:12:55 PM

Even OTHER MOTHERS will look with disdain upon the owner of a loud whiny child. NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT YOUR KIDS. They don't want to hear them crying, see them acting up, or watch them slurp on some post-birth tits.

Keep your personal shit to yourself, and that includes your kids. To finish this argument, NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT YOU OR YOUR KIDS

1/4/2009 3:13:58 PM

Basically, if you plan to have a baby, plan to stay home for 10-15 years.

i just don't get how a baby eating is offensive

but 200 fat people chowing down at outback (one of corporate america's finest. these are also people that think outback is a "nice" restaurant) = not offensive.

i mean what people deem to be offensive v. unoffensive today is kind of mind boggling. like the human body is so offensive and nasty. i am reminded of that dad that complained about abercrombie models being offensive.

i wouldn't say that if you have a baby plan to stay home for 10-15 years

i would say if you are seriously this offended by shit, you should probably stay in your home. permanently. save yourself from being offended and save the rest of us from being offended by your idiocy.

1/4/2009 5:44:10 PM

so basically, share khcadwals opinions or stay at home

1/4/2009 5:46:07 PM

yes that is clearly what i meant

or i meant that people are too easily offended by EVERYTHING. it is life people. maybe i'm not offended because i don't sit and stare at shit. i just let people do their thing.

1/4/2009 5:47:16 PM

i agree...but you seriously cant expect everyone to be like that

[Edited on January 4, 2009 at 5:50 PM. Reason : i think you are getting too offended at other people being offended so there!]

1/4/2009 5:48:59 PM

theres plenty of skinny and average people that eat at Outback.

I'm sorry you don't like the fact that everyone isn't all about ZOMG BREASFEEDING ITS DA NATURAL WAY I'm EXPRESSING MY MILK AND FEEDIN MA BABY

So if you took a baby latched onto a tit into, say, Ruth Chris' or Prime, since that's a "nice" restaurant, people wouldn't be offended...

1/4/2009 5:59:38 PM

haha.

not what i was saying but good try.

i am saying for the final time i will attempt to spell it out

that it is odd that people find natural things offensive yet totally unnatural disgusting things are fine. i mean, it is whatever it just seems a little backwards

and it also seems a little backwards to get so worked up about something you don't have to look at. like a cover solves the problem? oh if she has a cover on we DEFINITELY won't know what she's doing under there.

1/4/2009 6:02:58 PM

haha yeah I love how khdcwal's argument centers around the fact that apparently as people become more high class and pay more for their meals while dining out they're actually MORE likely to put up with some woman bringing a noisy whining child before popping out a tit for feeding time.

Sure, sweetheart, enjoy your alternate universe

I honestly didn't read anything off page 3 before I posted my comment. It wasn't directed at anyone and it certainly wasn't meant to offend. I meant it seriously...If you have a child, it makes going ANYWHERE more difficult..Vacation, movies, out to dinner...babies cry, suckle, run, destroy, giggle...all those things that could offend others so I feel like having a baby is like resigning to home life.

So literally, if you plan on having children, you might as well go ahead and plan on not going out like you did as a childless couple.

Chill out guys. You're way too high stress.

1) Facebook is a private entity. If they want to ban it, they can.
2) There is always e-mail.
3) If you insist on breastfeeding your baby conspicuously, I cease to believe that it is about your love for your baby and more about your love for attention.

Going on a self righteous crusade to make everyone look at your milk engorged breasts to prove how great a mother you really are isn't going to win converts and your baby won't remember. Baby doesn't like a blanket? Tough titties man. Your job as a parent is to introduce your child to a world of things his or her ego may not personally like, but must deal with in order to have a functioning society.

1/4/2009 6:44:44 PM

I am in a group on Facebook that has nearly 10,000 and more than 400 photographs of members breastfeeding their children. There is nothing lewd or indecent about the pictures in the group. They are wonderful pictures of parents sharing a moment with their baby.

It's not like other Facebook members are being forced to look at the pictures.

1/4/2009 7:01:13 PM

for example...if bottom baby had her tit hanging out feeding her kid i would look but not really care...but i cant say the same for everyone else

1/4/2009 7:03:54 PM

^^ I don't really care one way or the other with Facebook, but it is their site, their policy.

dude i agree that it is their policy they can do what they want. i'm just talking about people that find it offensive. there are wayyyy more offensive things out there than the human body.

and this is not my argument, but thanks, sweetheart.

^ and what the hell. feeding it conspicuously. dude if your baby is hungry you kind of need to feed it. i mean usually that is what people do for their children. there isn't always an opportunity to run home and breast feed with the shades pulled down and the lights turned off. i get that you don't have to just do it in public all the time but sometimes you don't have a choice. unless, as someone else pointed out, if you have a kid you stay inside for 10-15 years. which i'm guessing is not part of our societal norms because i see women and children out all the time

1/4/2009 9:34:34 PM

breastfeeding should always be done in private. i don't whip it out and pee wherever the hell i want to.

there are plenty of alternates for public feeding... breast pump, bottles, privacy of bathroom, etc.

1/4/2009 9:39:32 PM

^just plain ignorance.

1/4/2009 9:42:07 PM

not at all. it's rude.

1/4/2009 9:43:53 PM

causing a disturbance is less ignorant?

[Edited on January 4, 2009 at 9:44 PM. Reason : ^]

1/4/2009 9:44:16 PM

yea but that is the point why should there be a disturbance? just don't look. or grow up.

feeding your baby is rude, man.

1/4/2009 9:45:28 PM

why do you fucks care so much?

i don't think i've ever once been offended in my life

1/4/2009 9:47:04 PM

there are certain biological functions that are done in private. breast feeding is one of them.

if you MUST feed a child in public, what is the problem with bringing a bottle of breast milk? Oh that's right, you want to draw attention to yourself.

1/4/2009 9:47:05 PM

you are giving them the attention which they desire

1/4/2009 9:47:54 PM

what's wrong with me relieving my bladder in public outside on a tree? OMFG IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE OFFENDED DON'T LOOK

1/4/2009 9:48:03 PM

as long as the landowner doesn't care, i see no problem.

Yeah, forget that some babies never are able to adjust to bottle-feeding (formula or pumped).

Forget that pumping can take hours and hours for little to no gain, depending on how well it works for the specific mother. Forget that pumped milk is often not as healthy, because of the varying types of milk that a mother gives out at various stages of a feeding time.

Forget that bathrooms are nasty, and not private at all. Forget that nobody wants to spend 30 mins to an hour sitting on a toilet to breastfeed,while the baby is in there near all the adult nastiness.

And forget that some babies refuse to be covered up at all with a blanket.

Here. Why don't you go take your dinner and eat it in a stall with a blanket over your head, with food that was prepared 10 hours ago. Then, if you find that acceptable, let me know.

For the past few thousand years, the human race has been unanimous in the opposite direction. Now, when people like you consider themselves so tolerant and enlightened and modern, OH THEN breastfeeding is a problem in public.

A lot of breast fed babies won't feed from a bottle. Nipple confusion and all that.
