I could see that for school age kids. I personally could care less as they aren't my kids, but I could see how people would find that weird as it just isn't the norm here and many things outside the norm are weird to the masses. Fine.
But, what I can't get is your comment that you couldn't imagine nursing your 10 month old. Really? I don't think anyone should nurse a certain amount of time or anything like that, and if you said it any other way I wouldn't have thought twice. Like "It was just too much work", "I went back to work and hated/couldn't/didn't want to pump", "We had a lot of trouble with latch/comfort issues", "I was tired of doing all the feedings but didn't want to pump", whatever. But to say it like it's creepy, weird, or gross to nurse a *baby*, I just don't get that at all. And I think that's the mentality that people are finding offense.
exactly!
