I'm sorry to do it but I have to gripe about a Nursing cough cough mom!
Ouch, now that I have been slapped repeatedly! I will get on with my story!
So I took Cameron and Bailey to the Library today for story hour. Tons of fun for the little ones, personally I feel like I am trapped in an episode of Barney) Besides the point, So there are about, oh, 6 mommy's in the group today, Ranging in age from Granny on down , the kidos are allowed to runaround and play while the sweet little old lady reads over noise and running around. there is one lady in particular that is there with her (cough cough) baby. Nice lady appearing to be the little one's granny, she inquired about bailey and Cameron's ages, and I responded and asked about "her little one" Now in my head I wanted to ask her if it was her granddaughter, Normally my big mouth would have open up and inserted my foot, but for some reason today it just didn't like the taste of my shoes, so I kept my mouth shut and turned my attention back to sweet little old lady. Story time is over I gather up our belongings and turn to leave to find "Granny" fully exposed Left breast in hand nursing HER baby! I tried to smile sweetly and say good bye hoping beyond hope that she didn't notice the shock and disbelief in my eyes!
it just caught me soooooo off guard, because in my mind I had determined this women to be this babies Granny, then to be slapped in the face with the realization that she is the mom really threw me for a loop! and I have never seen a 45+ year old women nurse a baby! It just doesn't look right, But the part that really shocked me was SHE WAS COMPLETELY HANGING OUT! I'm talking NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC here people!
I am a big advocate for breastfeeding, I do think that it is THE BEST for our little ones and that you should do the deed for as long as possible. But I am also a big advocate for being DISCREET! I do not believe that you should have to leave the room to nurse, or have to miss out on anything just because the baby needs to eat, but I do think that you should do your best to keep your business covered. Either use a blanket or nursing tops that allow access to the goods with out hanging out, or even if you don't have nursing shirts or a blanket you can still nurse with out letting our 45+ year old girls that were already laying on your lap before you had a baby hang out for everyone to see!
OK I'm sorry I'm sure I'm gonna piss of someone with this post, so sorry you should have been there!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Thanks for entertaining me this afternoon. There sure are a lot of older moms out there these days. I don't see how anyone could bare being pregnant in their forties!
There's that movie where Eddie Murphy plays all the characters. He's the grandma at one point and she says something like, "I was standin in the shower the other day and felt a sharp pain in my chest. Then I realized I was standin on my tittie!"
Watch out for trip hazzards at the library folks.
Jill, Jill, Jill. Just because you like to save your perky little bosom for Your Mister, and don't like to spread your girls out like a picnic blanket at the library, doesn't mean you can mock the old lady who takes fenugreek by the bushel in order to nurse her grandchild.
Love and kisses,
Pamela
P.S. I will thank you kindly to never provide me with such a wrinkly and saggy visual ever again.
As I have heard the mister say before, I need a pillow on the floor next to my chair, so that when I fall out of my chair in laughter it doesn't hurt so bad!
