    Fun Time Breastfeeding Pic on Time Magazine Stirs Debate

    I hardly ever come here anymore, but this made me laugh, and then cry, because it makes me realize the mommies have taken over Time Magazine. Three years old?

    http://www.nowpublic.com/health/time...d-2927453.html

    "The May 21, 2012 Time Magazine Cover Features a Woman Breastfeeding a 4-Year-Old. It's Stirred Some Controversy. Here is the Time Magazine Breastfeeding Cover

    The May 21, 2012 Time Magazine cover is a big bowl of WTF, at least according to some. The 2012 Time Magazine cover features a picture of a woman breastfeeding her child. Normally such an image isn't that big a deal. In this case, the child is three years old.

    The headline reads: "Are You Mom Enough? Why Attachment Parenting Drives Some Mothers To Extremes--and How Dr. Bill Sears Became Their Guru""

    "God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind that I will never die.” - Calvin & Hobbes (God's favorite comic strip)

    Yeah, women need to deal with their issues instead of crippling their child because they need it to need them. Yuck.

    Yes, it was the one where I said something about passive aggressive mothers breastfeeding to make people uncomfortable. And everybody acted like I was an asshole. And then someone else said it in a different thread months later and everyone agreed. Fuck you, you flip-floppers!

    I remember that! They said that it was impossible for a woman to be passive aggressive with her breastfeeding. IMPOSSIBLE!?! Get the fuck outta here with that shit.

    That was some of the dumbest shit ever. They refused to acknowledge some people can be assholes about it.

    "Yea, someone is doing it just to be in your face? Yea right."

    Fucking assholes.

    Im waiting because usually I dont see Natty on here but as soon as something comes up about breastfeeding, she appears. lol.

    Im not against BF at all, I think it's great and happy for moms who can do it. It's alot harder than what it looks like. BUT I have my own opinions on this stuff.

    As soon as my kid has a tooth, it's off my tit. I wasnt ever even comfortable with nursing for a year but then again, i was always working so i didnt have the choice but had i had the choice, i wouldnt have done it that long.

    Just my opinions but if your kid can walk up to you and lift up your shirt and take your boob out of your bra, it's time to stop.

    I was just looking at that Time cover again and actually, the first time i looked at it, i didnt even realize the whole 'are you mom enough' bullshit. That actually pisses me off. What? Because im not breastfeeding my 15 year old, im not mom enough? I take that as a personal slam to any mother that either cant or wont BF. I actually take that personal.

    I didnt BF my 15 yr old and he's ultra fucking smart, is an awesome kid and doesnt make fucked up choices. My tits had nothing to do with that, it was my parenting.

    Meh, fuck it. I think it's rediculous. Are you mom enough....pfftttt (im giving my computer screen the middle finger as if it's my computers fault that im pissed)

    That's the point, though. Reactions like that keep it a hot topic.

    Also, like, why would you be offended if you don't feel guilty? They're catering to that in a way. Like, people will say, "Oh, that's so gross," but secretly maybe are a little jealous, or at least regretful that they didn't breastfeed.

    As for the title, that's pretty tongue-in-cheek. In other words...THEY JUST WANT VOTES.

    I didn't breastfeed either of my kids. It was something that I didn't want to do, it didn't interest me.. It wasn't a big deal when my daughter was born but when I had my son and told them I wasn't going to breastfeed they looked at me like I was a loser.
    Sorry but it was something I wasn't comfy with and it was my choice.
    My kids were never sick (which they claimed they would be since I didn't booby feed them) and like WTBB's kid they are smart and awesome ..So I am MOM enough!!!

    I watched that video that was posted up there and when it was over, there were links to some other BF vids with kids that were older and one mom was SQUEEZING HER TIT JUICE ONTO A SPOON AND FEEDING HER KID WITH IT. Then there was the mom with twins and she just whips out both boobs and they each have a hold on them. They i think were 2 1/2.

    Really? Come on now. Im not even against women that BF in public and it honestly doesnt bother me to see a baby on its mother breast but I would be all WTF ARE YOU DOING if I saw a 3 yr old doing it. Yeah, I even think a 2 yr old doing it would bother me.


    Here is my other question....ok so the mom who is BF'ing her 8 year old, the dad supports it. Isnt that odd to anyone else here? My husband looked at me as nourishing our child, he didnt look at them as fun bags at that time. Im not sure how that would affect your sex life ya know? I mean, if your kid is 8 and your still nursing, what husband wants to sit there and play with your boobs when your gettin it on? Or is it just like the dad is all HEY LETS HAVE HOT HORNY SEX AND I CAN JUST CURE MY DEHYDRATION FROM SWEATING BECAUSE I BONED YOU HARD SO ILL JUST TAKE A SIP OFF THE OL' NIPS THERE.

    wtf. middle finger again.

    I am sorry, but that photo is borderline child pornography.

    Also, I don't find anything wrong with BF, however if it's in a public atmosphere with people sharing the space it would be nice to at the least use a blanket to cover the boobage. Boobs, unless you are getting paid, should remain a mystery to the general public.

    Gat that photo is disturbing.

    Child porn? Really? Thats like saying mothers who breast feed this long molest their kids. Come on.

    I think I'm the only one who is like *shrug*. I don't think id personally make that choice, but I don't care either way. I do take issue with the text though.

    Hmm, okay.. I don't want to call it molestation but to a certain extent I would be afraid that other creepy sick individuals would get off on that picture. It just leaves me feeling uncomfortable. It's gross to even go there, but there it is.

    I babysat when I was 12 for a family where the mother was still breastfeeding her son who was 6 going on 7 and I remember even back then thinking homegirl had some serious issues wanting to have her KID sucking on her. It seemed like such a weird attachment issue as opposed to helping the kid's health.

    Seriously, that photo 100% skeevs me out.

    That's pretty much how I feel, though I admit I'd throw shade if I saw a four-year-old breastfed in public.

    I don't have an issue with the text because it's designed to make the point it makes. It's not saying "You're not a good mom if you don't breastfeed your middle schooler!" I remember something like that when they ran the Tiger Mother article, too. It's taking something many people feel strongly about, either way, and throwing a match on it.

    That said, I wouldn't be surprised if there's enough outcry that they issue an apology.

    I've told this story like a thousand times but this chick I used to work with was pregnant and one day a woman came in and started asking if she planned to breastfeed. She was like, of course. Then the woman was like good because I breastfed my kid until she was six. And the girl doesn't miss a beat and just goes, "Lady, you are a sick fuck."
