Game of Thrones played this card first!!


Most women that are breastfeeding at such an age have issues w/ in themselves that they need to solve.
I work at a nursery school and I've only seen one person in 15 years that breast fed til the child was 2.

I did not view the video but I am certain that children can be very determined to not let go of patterns and habits and being in the place that I am now at my age and place in life, with a greater ability to understand, comprehend and be in retrospect, I might be even more open minded about the struggles between the two that occur.

I might even have positive stories to tell as a result.

I don't think it is wrong of the mother at all.. and in some other countries it wouldn't be considered that unusual! I would say that is a sign of a sick society when the kids are so abusive to each other that he would even have to worry about it... and especially since that abusiveness is tacitly allowed by adults!

Interesting....makes me think of bullying.

Exactly.
There have been numerous cases across the country where kids have been bullied so bad they have taken their own lives. I would dare to say there are TONS of bullying cases everyday, in every school, in every grade, all across the country.

There are some well known rules to how to conduct yourself in such a hostile environment (IE a school of your peers), and one fundamental rule is "thou shast not suckle on thine mothers breast, when thee can read a book and chew steak"....

What makes me sad.. is that many kids are bullied for READING a book! Or even showing effort in class! Much less something as private as breastfeeding!

Backing up...I watched the video and see the point. I wanted to see it independant of my post.

Parents should control patterns not children.......

Parents should control patterns not children.......

I agree, BUT, when its broken down, the reality is that its not always possible and the parents become agressive, hostile bullies and the children become more and more defiant to hold their place. It's an interesting dynamic. Some kids shoot and kill or knofe and slaughter their parents to maintain control and keep the order.

 

[mishele]

No excuse!! Parents always should be in control!!

 

[GeorgieGirl]

...and so should cops guns and lawyers...

 

[mishele]

BTW....are we still talking about breast feeding? lol

 

[GeorgieGirl]

Yes. I am talking about kids, not infants, and kids insisting on their way (breast-feeding and co-sleeping) versus the idea of parents always being in control and saying no and/or refusing.

 

[mishele]

Sorry......kids should never be in control. Parents have the upper hand!! Parents just need to be consistent in their expectations. The children will fall in line....=) No means NO...remember...lol

Yep!

I think when one gets close to G'ma status, the idealism starts to take on a new perspective. I am of the idea that if I had kids now that I would be a different parent than I was when I had/raised my kids. And I have very few regrets about what my decisions were at that time and more importantly with them/for them....ND knowing about how I feel now about them then and about them now, happily I'm still top choice for quitting my job and staying at home raising their kids.

As a parent of grown kids in these times, I'd say it doesn't get any better than this then for your kids to compliment you with their desire for you to be a parent to their kids....despite all your known flaws.

When you get to be where I am now in life you will see/know this truly. Until then you have to take the word of others.
