The poll is just for fun and a little participation in my drama š
So Iām pregnant again by the father of my son (my bf) and i plan on breastfeeding again. His step-mom & dad are a bit entitled and old school. However, they never said anything to me when I openly breastfed my son in their home. I asked and it was always as long as heās fed. Their 5 year old even would āhelpā me pump lol. My son doesnāt like being covered and Iām not making my child uncomfortable to bring comfort to adults. But Iām not disrespectful with it, my child needs to focus anyway so if itās busy or crowded I usually step to a private area. I still do what i need to do tho. That being said there was a situation back in May where I was breastfeeding my son in the living room with only his grandmother in the room. Iām turned at an angle and have a jacket on. She proceeds to basically cuss me out for breastfeeding my child in front of her and āall these menā that were nonexistent. My breasts are for my manās eyes only and theyāre my private parts. I need to learn privacy. Iām just pulling out my ābig breastā donāt nobody wanna see my ābig breastsā. The whole thing. I got up said as respectfully as I could that i respected where she was coming from but that my breasts are for my childās nutrition, not my man. Then walked to the back yard. Iām visibly upset but try to remain respectful. His dad asks āwhatās wrong are you okay?ā I say Iām okay but your mom just didnāt want me breastfeeding in there so I came out here.ā Heās like sheās older and her generation blah blah. Iām like yeah itās fine I understand. This is when I was a bit younger so I was just trying to keep peace. Word gets out and she ends up apologizing. I think the situation is over. No his dad calls the next day saying Iām disrespectful and heās not comfortable with my breasts all out and neither is his wife. If Iām gonna come to his house then I need to follow his rules and go to a room otherwise my bf needs to bring his grandson to see him without me. I flip out and itās a whole big situation. His dad continues to gossip with the other family members and talk shit. Even called my bfs bio mom which he hates to get her opinion and proceed to call me disrespectful. I havenāt really had much contact with them since but what little Iāve had has been cordial. Now Iām back in that boat and when I tell you they can kiss my ass I mean it. Iām all for respect but you never had an issue until your mother said something. Honestly i respect grandma for being upfront rather than be two faced. Then you continue to talk shit to half the family like a child. I just wonāt be over there as much. Mind you theyāre not even active grandparents. They can come see my children at my house where I will be breastfeeding freely. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I stand strong in my beliefs. My breasts are not for men nor are they sexual. š„°
