Re: holy sh!tballz.
I know!! And lol that someone brought up the crazy SIL that wants to take some poster's 6 month old for an entire summer.
See? That's what happens!!
I would have lost. My. Shiit.
Can I say something that might raise a few eyebrows? Im actually semi afraid my mother might try this same thing ( or would have when Henry was younger) just by some of the comments she made about my nephew and how in my face she gets when I nurse Henry.
I've thought the same about some of my family. Seriously.
I don't know if I would be able to be in the same room as my SIL ever again. Ever.
OMG. That poor girl. I would have been beyond livid if I walked into that. Talk about the Hand that Rocks the Cradle.
I would not trust my kids around her...ever. I'm so glad she's telling her DH. Holy crap.
That's crazy! She's not lactating- what did she think would happen?
Heres a flameful though-
If a friend were babysitting my kid, and he wouldn't take his bottle, and my friend was lactating, I would totally not care if she breastfed him. I don't think that's a big deal.
The police? For?
I think some would look at it as sexual abuse.
That's the first thing that came into my mind. I don't think the SIL was necessarily sexual abusing a child but if that was my child.... holy sh!t. I don't know what I would think.
If the mother had been abused in the past, I could totally see how she would see it as sexual abuse. It's just a sucky situation period.
Trying to breastfeed a baby when it is not your baby and you are not lactacting is not trying to breastfeed, because there is nothing there to feed the baby.
It is trying to get your baby to suck on your nipple. And since for many women (myself included, before breastfeeding), having someone suck on your nipple is sexually gratifying, I can TOTALLY see how this could be sexual abuse.
I would lose my mother-loving shitt on someone if they did this without my prior knowledge and consent.
(Consent to feed my child, if they were in fact lactating, not consent to have my child suck on their nipples, obviously.)
