Bosom-feeding

I like bosoms. :-)

Now you get to hear the opinion of the expert.........the only single person in this debate.

Since you have all decided to use the other names for the two female protrusions, I shall use "bosoms."

Maybe all parties are a little guilty here. Maybe the mothers are two prideful to cover up their bosoms and try to be really modest, not just "somewhat" modest. Why are you trying to force people to "get used to something natural?" It is NOT natural (in the States) to bare the bosoms in public. I "naturally" have to use the bathroom five times a day, but you don't see me whipping out "Daniel Jr." to relieve myself on the grass in the public park just because I want to make everyone else get used to it. We have certain traditions in our society and right now most of society (and I could probably say most mothers too) seems to think that mothers should cover up while bosom-feeding their babies..........but it's ok to wear a thong at the pool. :) I know, how ironic. So I'm going with Mom on this one. More modest is better. Ahhh, but you say, "Daniel is neither married nor has he any idea what it's like to bosom-feed." And I say, "Darn tootin." I will be married some day........and Praise Allah I won't have to bosom-feed.

Oh, did I mention that you'll never see a bosom around here? Women bosom-feed out at the clinic, and when they do the whole baby disappears under 20 yards of clothing. :) That's not a good example though because Islam is full of hypocrisy when it comes to modesty in dress. As long as you cover your hair you can wear the tightest shirt and jeans you want and you'll still be modest.

Now what about those guys at Church who can't control their eyes? I think they are making a huge deal out of nothing. Bosom-feeding is most definitely NOT sexy........and this is coming from a 27-year-old male with raging hormones who, in Biblical language, has never "known" a woman. A woman bosom-feeding in public (if she is not covered up) will probably attract a few glances (because again, according to current customs it is NOT natural for a mother to expose herself in public....in the United States), but most people will then move their eyes elsewhere and not think twice about it.

In conclusion, to Lizzie and Sara I would say that if you feel good about not covering up too much while bosom-feeding, do it!

Mom, you are fighting a losing battle, but keep fighting. I'm on your side........except when Brother "easy-eyes willie" is staring at either of my sisters and complaining about a little skin when he should be staring at the pulpit and paying attention to the lesson/talk!!

Jarem and Dan, you are doing your duty and supporting your wives.....good job.

Dad, don't think that your "silence" tactic has gone unnoticed. You are the smart one here. Better to avoid confrontation with either your wife or daughters rather than create a burning in their bosom(s).

I used the word "bosom" 14 times in this blog.
