Grump

I think I am just more grumpy b/c my baby is refusing to come out, but sometimes I just want to flick people in the nose.

I was talking with a friend of mine and a girl we work with during lunch. The topic of spending money on stuff came up, and she made a comment to me about me needing to save my money to buy diapers and formula. I responded with "Diapers yes, Formula no, I am exclusively breastfeeding." 

Her response "If you can" and then tried to talk about how the baby may refuse. Mind you, she does not have kids. I cut her off and responded with "There should be no reason I could not, women have been breastfeeding for thousands of years and we would have died out as a species if that was the case."

I feel bad for my friend that was sitting there b/c she does not like when people get snippy and knows how I feel about EBF. This other girl has a history of trying to tell people they are wrong when many times she doesn't know what she is talking about. I was not about to be bullied by her. It just pisses me off b/c it is that kind of thinking that prohibits women from feeling successful or capable.

If you want to FF that is fine, but don't try to make me feel that my body will fail at something it is meant to do.

The last month of pregnancy sucks. Sorry you are so grumpy, I remember being grumpy too. Try not to get too upset at the person for making comments like that, it's hard to believe differently when that is what our society tells us and she's never BF herself.
