Why do you insist on turning the OP's statement completely upside down? He couldn't have been any more precise. This is about mothers who CAN breastfeed but CHOOSE not to. I can't think of a simpler way to explain this to you. I guess there is no point if you just refuse to read what it says here and read what you want instead.
Of course there are real reasons why some women can't breastfeed. For that matter, anemic people can't donate blood, because it would obviously detriment their health. Who in their right mind would pass judgement on them for that? This is a very simple matter and, if you ask me, I'd say you are diverting the edge of the discussion in purpose in order to fabricate justifications for the unjustifiable.
There ARE housewives with no crucial obligations like work (upon which nobody is passing judgement here) and no health issues, who simply choose not to breastfeed because they don't want it to interfere with their sociability. They don't want to "become moms" in the full sense of it, in the way that they don't want motherhood responsibilities such as breastfeeding to "cramp their style", to get between them and the shallow entertainment-oriented activities they were used to spending their whole time on before becoming parents.
This DOES happen and this is what this post is about. If they make the decision of missing out on a crucial aspect of motherhood, it's their loss. But from the perspective of the child, it classifies as cruelty. Bare in mind we are mammals, and the baby's existence basically reduces to bonding with his mother, and breastfeeding is the key channel for that. Try to imagine the proportion of a baby's purpose of existence that breastfeeding is at that stage and extrapolate it to try and figure out what size a loss it would be analogous to for a grown up. Then weigh that against what women who refuse to breastfeed by choice are unwilling to give up.
It is selfish and immoral. If you ask me, women who do that do not deserve such a marvelous gift that life has given them, their children. They do not deserve to be called mothers, or for that matter, women.
While there is no argument that breast feeding is very beneficial and you have made some very valid points. It is just something that I would not be comfortable in doing and yes part of it is about it cramping my style. I would not want to have my breasts out infront of people, and I wanted my body back. People can call me what they please but they'll never call me dishonest.
It does not matter how bad people try and make me feel I just wont work as I am not the type of person who feels bad about themselves. I made a choice that whether people like it or not was mine and mine alone to make and I stuck with it. x
Is it normal I detest moms who don't breastfeed?
