What makes you think this is disturbed behaviour? I did not advertise to others that I was still nursing them. Having braced myself for the day they would want to stop (although it saddened me inside) I took their decisions without complaint.
I had this very religious tutor growing up but one day while shes teaching me her 9 year old daughter walked up to her grabbing on her like she wanted up, and my tutor turned in her chair and lifted her shirt and this 9 year old started breast feeding while she had her head turned talking to me about my school work! She had 12 kids and was the most religious person I've met. No TVs, computers, even radios allowed in the house. There is people that breast feed that long. I couldnt believe it.
It shouldn’t be at all once a child is past a certain age, usually around the time they are properly on solids. The reason you didn’t do this in public once they were past a certain point, is more to do with the fact that you knew you shouldn’t be doing it at all. I wouldn’t mind betting you are a controlling bitch that tries to micromanage everything your kids do. I guess once they got to about 8 they felt they were old enough to stand up to you and refuse your perverse behaviour.
You sound like a really shitty person the way you talk to her because you disagree with it. Its actually healthy for the kid there's lots of evidence that shows breastfed kids have higher IQs and less health problems. I think it is a bit weird but to talk down to someone like that is not cool. Especially being a big liberal person that preaches tolerance all the time.
The WHO recommend starting solids at 6 months of age, but recommend continuing to breastfeed until at least 2 years of age, but longer if possible.
I take the point that 8 is quite old to still be breastfeeding, but you need to do more research if you think it should be stopped as soon as they are fully established on solids. That goes against the advice of pretty much every reputable health organisation in the world.
I didn’t nurse in public once they were no longer babies in arms as it was no longer necessary and it would have made people uncomfortable. You have not explained why you feel breastfeeding is immoral, it is the only reason breasts and nipples exist. Otherwise our chests would be smooth like the under bellies of snakes.
As for your accusation that I micromanage my children’s lives, I don’t see how you deduced that from one three paragraph forum post, but I think that as a society we need to stop glorifying “laissez-faire” parenting styles and farming children off to nannies and screens. Clear boundaries and expectations mixed with warmth and affection are the ideal ingredients for raising children.

You are either a troll, or a sick freak if you breast fed your kids till they were 8.

Like what? If you mean honest then yes.
If you think what the OP done, breast feeding her kids till they were 8, is normal, then you are as sick in the head as she is.

You can be honest without being rude.

I never fed them in front of other people (except when they were very small), it was a quiet private moment before they went to bed.
Although nursing is natural it shouldn’t be in public once the child is past a certain age.

Medical evidence disagrees with you there.
The WHO recommend starting solids at 6 months of age, but recommend continuing to breastfeed until at least 2 years of age, but longer if possible.
