Sheeeesh! Even my mares went off by themselves, away from the herd, to have their foals...what a pig this woman must be.

Since this a PARTY maybe she'll have it on a restaurant table so food and drinks can be served and strangers can watch, too!!!

But, I suppose that since SOME posters think doing anything "natural" in public is OK, this chick will choose a sports bar and have it on the big screen...

....that woman has nothing new to offer. For her to think that she and her child are so special that others can't wait 20 minutes to see the baby is narcisstic and shows either a need for attention or a sick exhibitionism.

Wait til she finds out that once the baby gets here she'll have to SHARE the spotlight!!

I don't find it offensive, I find it stupid and egotistical.

It's not a communal event, a block party is.

And the joy of having a child can be celebrated AFTER it's born.

Why didn't she invite her entire family to the conception?

Her episodes of morning sickness? Her hemmies?

I am expressing an opinion. If you detect animosity in opinions because they differ from your's, than maybe this isn't the place for you....
I did address your initial posts; your rants...er responses are above. Why would I waste my time responding to such illogical, irrational nonsense.

Please point out where I have "attacked" you.

It's interesting that your first response is to assume the woman is narcissistic and craving attention. What's that all about??

Why does it offend you so much?

""""Why would I waste my time responding to such illogical, irrational nonsense."""


I don't know...why did you?

As you can see, few of your posts address the topic... I think you're just terribly upset that I didn't follow your orders...LOL!

Hey - you're the one who asked why I didn't address your posts. I assumed you meant each and every point of each and every one. LOL

It's a boob. Who cares if they are flopping about. Whether a kid is attached to it or not, it's just a boob. Jeeze people act as if it is going to eat them alive if it gets out of it's nest. Personally, breastfeeding woman don't bother me. But, I don't understand the double standard of men being able to be shirtless, but woman cannot. Makes absolutely no sense at all!

Champagne v. Passons, 95 Cal. App. 15, 272 P. 353 (1928) (daughter had child, was engaged to child's father, spent every weekend with him, and opened joint checking account with him);

The 15 year old doesn't have to marry the baby's father to be emancipated.
The girl in the case stated was engaged and had engaged in a step an engaged couple would undertake, as well as spent time with the father, which might be a reasonable indication of the couple's intention to wed.

The pregnant teens (my experience only) I've seen seldom leave the parental home. Outside of local experience, there's a show on MTV which 'celebrates' teen pregnancy and the majority of the teens on this show are living under their mom &/or dad's roof.

But I digress.

Bethany is an adult who used the breast feeding in a restaurant situation to get her 15 mins of fame. Any mention of a lawsuit and violation of civil rights, yet?

Welcome friends for this week's episode of Wide World of Birth!

Last week little Bruno amazed the crowd crowning in record time...will the record stand, or will little Olga from the Ukraine dominate the birth canal?

Now for a word from our sponsors:

Lactate house -- nipple pads for the discerning breast feeder. Lactate House -- when you want to keep it off your blouse!

Epistitchery keeps you tight. It's the first time everytime with Epistichery brand thread!

How would you feel if you and your family were out to dinner at a restaurant and the guy at the next table whipped out his penis and started flapping it around? How would that work for you and your family?

What's more...what if his wife started publically sucking him off right there in the restaurant? Would you be ok with that? Afterall, it's just a penis.

However, if we have one of those "OH MOTHERHOOD IS SO WONDERFUL LOOK AT ME I'M A MOTHER" types who whips up her blouse exposing herself UNNECESSARILY then she should be thrown out for ruining the other diner's meal and sent for counseling.
um .. yes .. classy and DISCREET! .. is usually the best. Most women are aware of the sensibilities of others and keep it all fairly low keyed ..

In cases of the OH MOTHERHOOD IS SO WONDERFUL types .. I couldn't agree with you more ..
