Am I selfish. I told someone exactly what I thought of their family work ethic, and it backfired?

Question

You have to understand first of all, I work, not because of a choice, but I raised 2 kids alone following a divorce with no child support and we did ok. I never was given the option to stay at home, and when I was on welfare for 2 yrs, I was enrolled and graduated from college and went straight to work.
My boyfriend gripes about how lazy his ex was and how she went from him to another husband immediately for money reasons.
He told me she stayed at home and raised there kids and had what he calls the disease of the month....always going to the MD for something.
We were discussing breast feeding and I told him I never did it because I always had to work. I said you can only breast feed if your sit on your as.s, like your ex wife did. He got mad and would not speak to me all afternoon. I just told him what I thought of her. His daughter also doesnt have a job and is always borrowing money from him and her excuse.... breastfeeding. Lazy, lazy.
Am I being rude?

Answer 1

i think that using work as an excuse not to breastfeed is LAZY LAZY! i work full time and you better believe i am still breastfeeding and my son is 10 months. bring that pump to work, or better yet, you can manually do it! not to mention, it also saves $$$... the issue isn't his ex-wife. it is evident you are looking for an excuse as to why you didn't give your baby the best.

Answer 2

are you seriouse??? the problem doesnt lye between your husbands ex or his daughter its YOU finding excuses not to breastfeed. How do you think 85% of the other woman in the world manage work home and breastfeeding? They have invented pumps.. Pump it out put into bottles and there ya go...

First lesson in life is DO NOT BLAME OTHER PEOPLE FOR YOUR OWN PROBLEMS............. sorry but i think your being rude and selfish towards your family. Think not of your self but to your family
