Culture is weird about a lot of things, but especially parenting culture. Everyone has an opinion about the best ways to do X, Y, and Z, and they are very willing to share those opinions.

People are more than happy to comment or "correct" parents who are complete strangers when out in public.
Still, I just do not get how people can be so rude when it comes to how others choose to parent when out and about.
And it seems to be a billion times worse when the topic is breastfeeding.
Because boobs are always controversial.
Most people seem to agree that if the mother is able — because there are legitimate reasons to be unable or choose not to breastfeed — she should breastfeed her baby.
It has plenty of benefits, physically and emotionally.
And yet, even hardcore pro-breastfeeding people can't seem to agree on how to deal with it in public spaces.
Which is obviously ridiculous.
Whitney Renee Huntwork is a mom of two boys who was tired of being called out when feeding her baby in public and wanted to have a little fun with her declaration that she no longer cared what people thought.
Anytime. Anywhere. You can stare, I don't care. I'll feed my hungry child, here or there, if you don't like my boob I still don't care.
A Restaurant? A store? It's boob juice galore! A theater? A museum? But you're more focused on trying to see them! Bottle or boob It's all just food.
You still think I should cover? You should run and tell your mother. pull out your phone and take a picture? But I'm the one who's the problem?
Don't you wish we could all mind our business? That would sure solve them! Think I am disgusting? I could say the same? Think I am playing an attention seeking game? You are wrong because you see, really I am only worried about the comfort of my baby and me!
Sure, some might choose to cover up with a blanket or find a private space, but that's for their comfort and shouldn't be dictated by anyone else.
Okkkkurrrr?
