DH says I'm imagining things, but I always feel like I'm being judged when people ask how long I plan on BFing. How do y'all respond when people ask you that?
I don't really care what they think, I just get annoyed at the question.
@4N6s that's been my response so far, but since we're rapidly approaching the one year mark and I have no desire to stop, I feel like I need a new response.
I would say something like "I'm playing it by ear". Do most people have a definitive plan? It felt to me like it would go until it didn't work anymore. Not anything you could predict exactly.
Kind of late to this post but my I'm still nursing my 22 mo old and my goal has always been 2 years and am ok with ds continuing after I get some pretty funny looks from some but im just honest and state quickly with a smile why its important to me and move on:) I definitely do feel judged but people are always going to judge whether they think you nurse to long or you didn't nurse long enough you ultimately know what's right for you and your LO and that IS what is best.
I know I'm a little late to this post, but I read somewhere that a good response to unwanted questions is, "Why do you ask?" It puts the burden of answering back on them and hopefully gives them a chance to realize their question was out of line.
