My sister shamed me for breastfeeding my daughter:UPDATE
Yesterday was my sons birthday , as a tradition every year and for all of my little and big ones we have cake and our family comes over to sing happy birthday.
My daughter is 3 months old . She will be 4 months December 20th. She is exclusively breastfed.
My sister , my best friend and I were sitting and talking in the living room, while my sister was holding the baby she started getting fussy, her feed me cry. So I said here let me take her she’s hungry . I felt comfortable enough to nurse in front of my sister and best friend because Jesus Christ it’s my sister and my best friend !
My sister , who is a mother herself and also attempted breastfeeding looks over at me in disgust and said “ EWWW you are still breastfeeding her ? When are you going to stop ?” I was in shock , felt extremely hurt . But said umm I plan to until she’s a year , she then starts telling me how disgusting she is and a baby that big shouldn’t be nursing and that’s f*^%*^ up . She then started telling me there’s nothing wrong with formula and it does the job , blah blah blah.
Then, here comes another comment, she was holding the baby again and she was fussy, she did not want to be in my sisters arms , she was fine in my best friends , and mine so I said here let me take her , so she goes that’s another thing with those breast fed babies all they want is their mom!
I’m thinking to myself , no bitch , she just senses that you are a mean miserable bitch, trying to jeopardize her food !🙈😩😭
So here I am , trying to defend myself for feeding my child . Needless to say I couldn’t wait until she left my house . I felt like I saw such an ugly side of her tonight that I never knew existed , she made me feel like I’m doing something wrong by feeding my daughter. My feelings are so hurt , I felt shamed . I honestly at this point wouldn’t care if she never comes over my house again.
I just had to vent . 😭🙁😔
UPDATE: So I said something to her about her self and this is her response 🙈
I just wanted to thank each of you for your advice . This is someone who is supposed to be supportive of me and obviously isn’t. It’s crazy. She is still trying to make it seem like I attacked her! I’m the older sister NOT HER she is so disrespectful and always has been. I’ve decided it’s better that we don’t talk because she’s off the wall.
