Question for "all my armour is falling down..."?

Question

What the hell is your problem? I bet if you saw me in real life you would shut the hell up rather swiftly to avoid eating your molars. For the record, I have nothing against the ACT of breastfeeding (hell, i breastfed my own kids for 6 and 10 months respectfully) BUT, what I hate is seeing formula feeding mothers and fathers being chastised by YOU people and made to feel badly because of their decisions. I own a home. So what? A lot of folks rent, I am no better than they are. I eat healthy foods because I have hypertension. So what? I do it because I have to, and I don't look down on the dude next door for chomping on Whataburger when I am eating poached croaker, rice and mung beans with green tea. Life is what we make it, and our choices should be to the benefit of all concerned when in a family. Bottlefeeding is the best choice for most families. Bullying people into breastfeeding is not an effective strategy. What's next, a breastfeeding draft for all pregnant women? Pfffft. GTH.

Oh, qnd to your response to my other query...being an empath does not seperate me from human feelings and the gamut of emotions therein. I get disgruntled and angry just like you do. People piss me slam the hell off sometimes. difference is, at the end of the day, my conscience calms me, and tells me why I felt that particular way, and perhaps, what i need to change in myself. Because people like you will always be. I know I have to be the change I wish to see. Right now though, breastfeeding nazis really get my goat like none other. So sorry, Charlie.

Oh, and "all my armour" I made myself clickable for all your lovely hate mail. have at it you coward punk.

Answer 1

OMG thank you!

My friend is being hounded by a BreastMilk-Nazi right now. What is wrong with these people?

Whataburger? Mmmmm...Texas!

Answer 2

You crack me up. I don't think you've read anything that I've even written. LMAO. I have never put down a bottlefeeder. My mom bottlefed me and my sisters, and my sisters bottle feed their kids. None of us have a problem with what the others do. I just really crack up over people like you because you seem to hate breastfeeders no matter what. Get over yourself and get a life. Oh, and learn to read, I've never cut anyone down or said I was better. LMFAO!!!!

I would like to add this after reading your other questions. How can it be that you breastfed your kids for 6 and 10 months, but a week ago you posted a question about your formula-fed 2-month-old?? And it really makes sense that you got stone a lot in high school and there are people coming after your husband. You sound like a real freak, how dare you put anyone else down. I feel bad for the example you're setting for your kids!

Answer 3

I have to disagree with you. None of the BF mothers I know have ever bashed a mother that did not. While many non breastfeeders say deragotory things all the time about BF's. I will admit as a BF I have laughed at ppl's ignorance of the subject. Ppl that spout nonsense like its textbook. Breastfeeding is disgusting, it causes eating disorders, blah blah blah. I do understand that some ppl go overboard on some subjects but you shouldnt lump everyone that breastfeeds together just because someone is trying to get your friend to do it. Also to combat ignorance you have to talk about a subject. AIDS, Homosexuality, Womens rights, ADD, PPD, so many subjects have been the stuff of ridicule and ignorance. The only way things become accepted is to talk about it. So if someone I know is going to have a baby and they say "damn formula is exspensive" I am going to say "well you know formula is not your only option" "well I work so that won't work" "Actually I worked for a long time and still BF" And of course the more passionate a person is about the subject the more forceful they can be about trying to share their views. I am not going to apologize for BF's that have gone overboard with their intent to share their joy at BF. There are extremeist on both sides. No one has ever apoligized to me for telling me that there is something wrong with me for breastfeeding. I have to say I haven't read all the posts to see what has transpired between you and All my armour, but violence is never a solution and it takes away the legitimacy of what your are saying.

Answer 4

Okay - you need to chill out. You said in an earlier post that you are on Klonopin for seizures. You need to talk to your doctor about the side effects - now. You don't want them to see you angry or out of control.
Do you realize that you breastfed your children 6 months and beyond? That was a successful run! Most people don't even get that far. Many breastfeeders switch to formula at that point or supplement. It really isn't any big deal. You had to quit for medical reasons and it seems to me you are bitter about it - don't take it out on others. You should feel proud about what you have done for your children.
So, whose decision are you trying to defend?

Answer 5

I've never seen her bashing anyone..what is your problem? And plus I think she's absolutely right in everything she has posted. It's people like you that gives breastfeeders a bad name and justifies ill informed formula feeders. A lot of women don't breastfeed because they have no information or support and a lot of the time it's viewed as bashing. Why don't you mind your own business, eat your dung beans and keep on reading our posts because we're not going anywhere

Answer 6

Well, for the record, I think you are right on!! In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that I myself like to breastfeed, however I do not like Mung Beans or even Adzuki Beans.

Cheers!
