I expected some rude people, but some of this was ridiculous...

There are laws in Florida that protect breastfeeding mothers. A mother can breastfeed her child anywhere that she is legally allowed to be. If this makes you uncomfortable, maybe YOU should leave the area.

It just is incredibly shocking when a woman actually uses her ****s for their intended purpose, I mean, someone's misplaced modesty certainly trumps providing a child with the nourishment nature intended.

I think I love you ^^^

And allthose touting the merits of usig a cover - some babies refuse. I have had Many covers, made my own- my kids rejected them all- em their favorite blankies. Some kids refuse and most by six months when theyre interested in all things around them will.

It doesn't necessarily mean a woman is immodest and trying to make you uncomfortable. With a big ole baby head in the way a breast feeding mom is showing less **** than most female tourists in the parks- and besides just don't look! Problem solved. Believe me you don't want the kid screaming through the ride and the the mom may be uncomfortable as you are but is trying to help your ride experience by keeping baby quiet so don't be so rude.

People who ride the bus from evening magic hours with me get to hear mine screaming because people like you make me too self conscious to feed the baby like she wants.

Dark rides- I've nursed on them qll

I read it differently-I took it that she was supporting this comment:
"Sometimes the La leche league needs to remember that a little bit of modesty goes miles."

Well, I just took it that she was supporting the whole thing that she quoted

I don't think people care if you breast feed a child. People care if you are showing your breast in public. You can breast feed and cover yourself, or be in a private place.

Where are these women that are "showing their breasts", or the other expression I see a lot "whipping it out?" With four kids, I have spent a lot of time around other nursing moms, and have never seen any of their breasts--and only a very small percentage of them used "hooter hiders" or other covers.

And if you had read my whole post I said very clearly that most women who nurse in public are indeed discreet, myself included. I think the women who "let it all hang out" as some say are few and far between. I have no issue if people ask women to be discreet... just understand that not all babies like to eat with a cover over their head. And I DO think a lot of people are bothered when women nurse in public, covered or not.

I think we know that is not what it's about. See my post above.

Exactly!!!!

Which camp do you fall in?

1. Are you insecure about your husband looking at another woman, or
2. do you feel guilty because you did not breastfeed?

It's always the women who complain! So much for sisterhood and unity. Men are usually the understanding ones who don't give a rip.

It is easy to see what camp you are in-Camp Rude! And you make a comment about sisterhood-wow!

 

[FairydustyPrincesses]

Forgot to add- I'm really getting a phobia of wheel c chairs and ECvs for the upcoming trip based on the recent threads!! It's a war down there : wheels V.feet!!

 

[VanessainWonderland]

This thread was started because of someone sharing their experiences with rude people. Now it has actually turned into a pretty rude thread itself.

Just thought that was pretty funny.

You people need to learn how to combat rudeness with harsh rudeness back!

My wife and I have offered several a-butt-whipping to people who assume that they are going to walk up and stand there after we have waited an hour for a parade. Strange enough, we have yet to get any takers for said whipping, they roll their eyes and move a few people down. They look for easy prey, when you allow them to ruin things by complying with their idiocy, they win!

I had a guy on Thunder Mountain who decided he wanted to sit on the rail and drop his rear into my chest while waiting in line, as if I wanted some guys butt in my face. I promptly swallowed a load of air and loudly belched in his ear. He removed himself from the rail........

Last weekend at SWW at HS, a big guy knocked my 9YO into my wife while the crowd was allowed to move forward to the stage to see the Star Wars Celebs. He hit her so hard my wife almost was knocked down and my daughter had a huge red mark on her back. If we had not gotten separated in the crowd and I had seen it happen, he would have been hit as hard as I possibly could with my backpack, in the back of his head. We filed a complaint with Guest Services and told them they needed to change the crowd control infront of the stage before someone got hurt.

We had to get nasty with a few people who tried to come stand infront of us and even had a cast member tell us WE had to back up and allow the people infront of us get behind the marking on the pavement. My wife informed the CM that we were not moving as we had been there for nearly and hour and a half and these people who had just walked up could find somewhere else. The CM had a look on her face...... and then the folks standing behind us all got loud about waiting for an hour.........the CM shooed the cutters away........

Remember, when one person gets vocal the rest of the people who are timid will normally jump in and speak. We moved once the parade started and invited all the kids who had been waiting behind us, with their parents, to come to the line so they could see the parade. That is HOW Disney should be, let the little guys enjoy the show. Sadly many parents believe their kid is the only one on the planet that deserves anything and will crap on anyone to get an advantage.

People do rude things because they don't get called out on it and if they do, they think because on Disney property nobody is going to do anything about it. If they think you are freaking nuts enough to do something about it, they will stop

Sorry if I struck a nerve, but I personally know a few people who are appalled by nursing in public and they do indeed fit into one of the two. I think it is safe to assume there are more.

I just want the hating to stop and for people to mind their own business.

You're funny.

But no. I fall in the "I don't want to see a woman's breast in public" camp. I have no problem with breast feeding done with modesty.
And yes, many woman achieve this.

I also don't feel guilty about NOT breast feeding because I don't think anyone would argue that my traveling half way around the world to adopt my girls trumps any loss over missing out on breast feeding. Heck, my kids were happy to eat ANYTHING....

 

[wendylovesdisney]

The way to achieve that is to not attack someone's opinion with an attempt at a personal insult.

Not an insult. And if there was no truth to it no one would be offended. And if you have never nursed you definitely have no right to an opinion in this area. OH, and as someone stated before, it is the law. So deal with it or go out and try to get it changed. And good luck with that.

And here is a question for you. If you are uncomfortable why don't you go up to them and say so?

I don't care one way or another. Personally, I'm disappointed that the fun "people are horrible" thread turned into a breastfeeding debate.

But everyone is entitled to an opinion on anything. It's kind of what an opinion is.

For someone who wants the hating to stop you have an incredibly rude and angry and accusing way of going about it. What a laugh.

You want people to mind their business don't make your bare breast their business. Be modest and do it discretely and believe it or not most people will just mind their own business. Because you simply aren't that important to anyone but yourself.

I had the same experience at the afternoon parade MK.

Waited for forty five minutes in September for a good spot, as the parade comes downthe street three women shoe a couple kids between me and my girls.

At first I think well it's just the kids but as I realize I can no longer see my three year olds gleeful smiles on our first day there or video tape her - besides the obvious that I want her right by me not a couple kids away I decided to say something. I had to say three times and youcan bear me on our video getting mad but she did move him. Then proceded to talk about me in spanish.

Oh well, she was the one in the wrong. Idk why we think letting people mistreat us = being polite. You have a right to stand upfor yourself and sadly now a days it seems few people are courteous Enoughto regard others so you need to learn to speak up!

Not just Disney- just look at how people drive, everyone tailing and cutting everyone off. Society is selfish. It's sad.

I have a blog and I've started a Disney segment , one post I have written is the above parade experience and how to deal with crappy people at Disney. Sadly it's a tool everyone needs now

So I'm scared my husband is going to see a breast and that's why I'm offended? That's not a ridiculous insult?
Your replies are just....
It IS the law to allow a woman to breast feed. Not to expose herself. That's called exhibitisionism. Women can breast feed modestly.

You're a rather sad person. Im not responding anymore. You seem like someone who is bored and looking for something to do.

 

[disneymom1229]

I am not making excuses for the rudeness of people but as someone who has had to push a stroller and a wheelchair at WDW, I just wanted to say, it's not easy! It is difficult enough to walk in those crowds but when you are trying to manuever a stroller or wheelchair it is darn near impossible. People stop suddenly in front of you and also when you try to leave a space cushion, people invariably step into it directly in front of you. Then you get the dirty looks! All I am saying is to please take into consideration what the other people are dealing with.

That said, there is no excuse for jumping lines or pushing through to the front because you couldn't be bothered to stake out a spot for the parade like everyone else.

ITA with how hard it is to maneuver a stroller or a wheelchair through a crowd. Anyone who has could not disagree. However, I think the point of this thread is if you do bump someone or worse cause them to trip or fall, an apology or some concern goes a long way....

I AM sad because of women who have the views you have and feel so uncomfortable with the natural way women we are supposed to feed babies. That makes me sad.

We do have one thing in common though. We both love disney.

And I'm sure your children are beautiful.
