Breastfeeding in restaurants

I'm not against boobs at all, I mean hey, I'm a guy, I love boobs, just don't really want to see a baby sucking on a tit whilst I'm trying to eat my mix grill, I mean they have toilets and baby changing for a reason. Keep them off the table, or offer me some!

I don't know what to believe anymore

Burst into tears? Before or after posting on Facebook / Twitter etc etc :rolleyes:

So you do concede that actually there are occasions when somebody wearing a hat indoors is obliged to do something about it. Glad we got that one cleared up :D

yup... why was that unclear to begin with?
 
yes you can thus it is silly to try and please everyone

someone might think it is inappropriate to wear a hat indoors - someone wearing a hat indoors isn't obliged to do anything about it

likewise with breastfeeding - perhaps they don't feel comfortable doing it in the restaurant toilets, perhaps they don't feel comfortable draping some cloth that doesn't belong to them over their baby

perhaps the person who feels uncomfortable at the sight of it shouldn't stare and should just look away

Yes of course people aren't obliged. I never said they should feel obliged. I even went to the effort of saying they shouldn't feel like they have to! You're putting words in my mouth while taking out the ones I had in there :p

Of course people should be able to just look away, but if they can't and they feel compelled to actually mention something then I would like to think someone would act on that if they could. To not would be inconsiderate, equally as inconsiderate as not being able to just look away and ignore the breastfeeding in the first place. What it boils down to is that two wrongs don't make a right.

I understand what you are saying but you are asking a mother to cease feeding her child, as there is nothing wrong with public breast feeding, why should she stop feeding her baby?

why is it even two wrongs?

We'll go back to the hat thing - supposing you like hats, wear one in the local pub and some random stuck up middle aged guy says - 'young man, don't you know it is polite to take hats off indoors' - are you being inconsiderate by not bowing towards his personal ideas of what is proper conduct within that establishment by removing your hat?

(for the record I don't wear a hat and do think it is silly to wear one indoors)

What happens if you see it whilst eating your mix grill?
 
Having a **** is natural but if someone got up and did it in the middle of the floor in a restaurant you would be outraged.

It's awkward and disrespectful to others. I don't like babies in restaurants let alone breastfeeding.
