Chick-fil-A manager shames nursing mom

I wasnt saying that morning and you know it.

 

 

Saying what?  No, Patriot, I'M saying it, if you mean my last post.  Has nothing to do with you. 

 

 

you were quoting my post-so I assumed the entire comment, including the indecent and immodest part of it, was directed towards me somewhat sarcastically. If that was not your intent and I misunderstood you, then I apologize.

 

It was NOT my intention, Patriot.  I was simply doing what I always do....stating an opinion.  There was no intent to be sarcastic.  I really need to use better emoticons.

Why is it unkind?  God didn't make us to be like the animals.  We should be modest in our dress and actions and consider others as well.  Like I said, not everyone wants breastfeeding going on when they're dining or whatever.  And I am one of them.  What these women do in private is up to them and I totally support women who choose to nurse.  Why is it wrong to state my opinion?  It's not wrong to state yours....is it? 

 

 

 

Because a great deal of what you state your issue is with it is your own issue, but you wish to put it off on the nursing mother instead of owning the fact that you have an issue.  A woman nursing her infant is not the equivalent of a farm animal.  

 

Would I feel discomfort if a woman was in a restaurant I was also at nursing her infant uncovered and I could see her?  Yes, I would be uncomfortable.

 

Would I leave?  No.

 

Would I ask her to leave or cover herself?  No.

 

Would I move somewhere where I didn't have to look at her?  No.

 

I just wouldn't look and I would finish my meal and leave.  If I can't control myself and my behavior, and most importantly, my own attitude in regards to the incident, I have way more problems than she does.  The world, outside of me, is not required to operate according to my standards.  There should be some expectations of acceptable and unacceptable behavior, but they are not enforceable and how I deal with supposed violations that disturb me is 100% on me, not them. 

 

 

MG I was praying about how to respond to your post. I believe Cobalt has expressed what I was going to try to convey to you. I believe it really all boils down to attitude.

 

As to stating one's opinion... Sure it's fine I suppose.

 

MG if you were to see a nursing mother at a restaurant feeding her child in public how would you react? No need to answer just consider what Cobalt has said...

 

God bless,

I grew up with a breast feeding mom. At home it was just as easy to feed the crying baby as it was to find their pacifier. In a restaurant where people are eating a pacifier can take care of immediate crying till mommy can get to a more private place to nurse. I doubt the lawmakers in Tenn had turning a Chick fil a into a Hooters restaurant.

Comparing nursing mothers to a place that basically sells the concept of breasts as eye candy... That is so wrong on so many levels.

Please read the rest of the thread.

It may be wrong on so many levels but that's the world we live in.

The point is that I don't want to see such things in public.  I wouldn't say anything to the woman either nor would I Ieave.  I would just turn away.  Being a woman, I doubt if such a sight would cause me to stumble.  Also as a woman, I think we should act like HUMANS, not farm animals. You just atated your opinions above and I've stated mine.  Please understand that I have the right to that opinion and, yes, I realize that others don't have to see things as I do.
