I was laughing stir-fry out my nose, but this really hit home for me in general. It's so true.

I was laughing so hard that my husband decided he needed in on the joke, and he thought it was hilarious as well!

I'm all for kids and think that woman have gotten out of control with the public breast-feeding. I like boobs as much as the next guy, I just prefer not to see a baby attached to them.lol

And I've often questioned why motherhood seemed to obliterate modesty. They won't take off their tops for anything, but all of a sudden a baby comes along and you'd think it's Mardi Gras. My buddy would probably deck anyone that asked to see his wife's breasts. However, when they had their kid, I saw them daily. It was awkward. Because you have to do that look where you're not looking at the breast hanging out, and yet you don't want to be rude and not look at them while talking. So you find yourself essentially eyeing the top of their head.all it takes is one little blanket to drape over them. Is that too much to ask?

She's really simple if that's what gives her a sense of purpose. My thing is, why do we have to spend so much time talking about it? Why on earth was she talking about breastfeeding during an interview? They are interviewing her b/c she is an actress, not b/c she breastfeeds. It's personal, it's like talking about your bathroom habits. It's private, and no one cares!!!

On a somewhat related note, when people ask us the very personal question of whether we want kids, maybe we should ask them about whether they breastfed their children, or how regular they are.

That woman is a trainwreck and the worst type of entitlement-whore. Seriously, though, she's going to be a resident if she passes this exam? I give her about five minutes in THAT job, because when you're on call for 30+ hours, there ain't going to be no time fo' breastfeedin', honey. And then she can scream discrimination and run crying to the media. AGAIN. Yawn.

Seriusly, why did it not occur to her to wait until AFTER she got all this done with to have the kid? Why RIGHT NOW?

I have to say that I'm glad she's going into research. I can't say I want to have a doctor with dyslexia and ADD writing scrips - she'd probably kill someone.
