Thanks for the Yum Yum

I HAVE HAD IT! Why do people think because a child can tell  her mommy "Thank you" or "Yum Yum" after they finish nursing that it is disgusting?? I think it is precious to see a child thank his mother for providing the most basic and loving form of food on the planet!
Everyone wants to compare nursing to a sexual act or urinating, when done in public.. so lets go. How many times have you walked past a couple in the airport or train station clinging to each other, kissing, hugging, and (let's be honest) dry humping each other. Some women stop to watch, even sighing at the romance of it all! But nobody would dare break the couple up because that PDA is completely inappropriate. I mean, they probably had no idea they would be separated in a few short hours, it was suddenly sprung upon them while they just happened to be walking past an Airport. They are ADULTS!! No way would they let their emotions get the best of them if they just had time to prepare!
Here's another example for all of you who seem to think "Thank You" and "Yum Yum" or "Baby Nursey?" is preverted, sexual talk. Have you ever walked past a couple in a restaurant, CLEARLY having a sexual conversation? Why yes!! Of course you have! It happens every single day! But if you caught a little snipit of someone's personal conversation (that they were having in public) well, shame on you for being so nosy! They can talk about whatever they want! God forbid you see a hand slip and the table during dessert! How embarrassing for you.. how could you invade someone's (public) privacy like that! And if your child heard.. well then you just need to go ahead and tell your 7 year old what a blow job is! It's no big deal.. he doesn't need to be sheltered anyways, he is basically grown!
Now.. your right, if I can nurse my baby in public, IN FRONT OF DECENT PEOPLE, then anyone who needs to relieve their bladder should be able to. But.. oh wait!! We see you coming out of those bars at noon, stumbling over to a coffee shop. What is on his pants??? OOOHHH.. LOOK AWAY LOOK AWAY!! NONONONNOOOO!!! Ok, in the clear.. we didn't shame a grown man who PISSED himself by acknowledging the fact we saw he had urinated all over his pants! Good grief, woman! Don't you know things happen?? Sometimes you have a little too much to drink and you just can't control yourself! That isn't gross.. it's embarrassing that you were even looking at his crotch! SHAME ON YOU!! Nasty woman!
So a baby who wants to eat should be able to control her emotions and learn to respect others and just wait. Adults do it all the time, right? Oh lord, never ever nurse a child who can speak for fear of the precious little baby saying something perverted, nobody wants to hear that! If the rest of the world can't pee and poop in front of whoever they want, then put away your milk bags!

There you have it. The rest of Americans are truly geniuses! We (the breastfeeding mothers) are all neanderthals who are teaching our children to be selfish and needy individuals! CAN'T YOU SEE THE LOGIC???
