Keep your pants on, it's only breastfeeding

I think that if someone makes a complaint about a mother breastfeeding her baby, the proper response would be to tell the complainant to take a hike, not the mother.

Not in America!

Ms. Mayo-Swimeley, 27, an Air Force wife and a homemaker, said a McDonald House manager had admonished her for nursing her son in a lounge after the father of another child complained, and that she was then told to do the nursing in private, in her room, on threat of being evicted.

But Naomi Scott, executive director of Ronald McDonald House in Houston, which provides low-cost lodging for families of gravely ill children, said the charity supported breast-feeding, that Ms. Mayo-Swimeley had been asked only to nurse “more privately” and that she would never have been thrown out.

Yes, no doubt that mother was just flaunting her breast-feeding to the other residents, as nursing mothers are wont to do.

Riiight.
