My family and I are at the Longhorn the other day and my daughter asks my wife "why is that lady showing her privates"

I have no problems with nature but I think this is an intimacy that should be shared in private with baby, mom, and pops. Having to explain this to our daughter while eating my steak and watching a woman breastfeed were not on the agenda for things to see that night. I don't get it

I'm not all about women who let them totally hang out in public, but I do think it is fine to do it discretely with covers in public...

Not appropriate for public. No way in hell I'd let my wife do it.

I saw some at work the other day when I walked into a patient's room. I knocked and no one said "just a sec", which typically means we just walk in. Mom was feeding the kid. She was hot and didn't seem to care.

You will have zero say in if your wife wants to breast feed in public.

I have a friend who's husband was very, very against it. What do you think happened? She breast fed in public.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

I'll be sure to cover that before I decide to marry her.

'Let your wife'?

I bet she would beg to differ.

"Honey, no. I don't care if the baby is hungry."

Yeah I see that going over really well.

Pretty simple answer really...

She's feeding her baby.

OK. Next time just start jerking off like mad. Keep your eyes closed though, that way nobody will see you. Don't want it to be awkward.

Well...no shit. There is a time and place for this, in public is not one of them.

The time and place is whenever the hell your baby decides he/she is hungry.

A great opportunity to be to be Dad is not having your wife breastfeed in a restaurant, I don't want to see this with the family out to dinner.

Why are you staring at another woman's tit when you should be conversing with your family and enjoying your food?

Unless you are somewhere trapped (like an airplane or something), you can almost always find some sort of "privacy".
