People are bizarre 😂
I went to a family Fourth of July party. The host has a big house and set up a room for my to BF my baby in. At the end of the party I’m nursing my babe and she’s dozing off too. Nice! But I forgot to lock the door. Should be fine, I’m in a random dark room away from the party in a large home.
This lady (not family, a friend of the host) opens the door. When I hear the door creak I say, “Nursing!” The door opens wider. “Hey! I’m nursing in here!”
“Oh! Is she sleeping? She’s feeding.”
“Yes, I’m breastfeeding her.” 🤨
Then she proceeds to walk up to where we are laying (I do side lying, and my back is to the door) and peers over where I have now pulled my shirt over myself and my child’s face. “Oh, I didn’t get a chance to hold her.”
Girl, you never were getting the chance and certainly aren’t now!! I am clearly uncomfortable and give her a look.
She explains she wants to use the bathroom that is connected to this room because there was a line for the one in the living room. There are three other bathrooms in the house. ALSO, this was a Jack and Jill bathroom, so she could have used the other door to get there!
Now in what world would you open a closed door in someone’s house, see a mother breastfeeding in the dark, be told multiple times that she’s nursing a baby, and come on up and sneak a peak?!?! Like standing over me.
I felt like when I kept repeating I was nursing that would have been enough. What would you have said?
Next time I’m going to 1.) lock the door and 2.) say “hey lady, give me some privacy!”
