Boobs

(Yes that title is a blatant lure for search result hits.)

Those crazy breastfeeders are at it again.

Had the Y left their reasoning at the "no food or drink in the pool area" rule, they would probably not be receiving all this publicity. Personally, Momma Star does not equate nursing a baby to eating fries and a Whopper (as those could conceivably clog a pool filter). Nor does the "it's a body fluid, it has germs" argument really fly. This is a pool used by small children, after all. They have been known to urinate in pools before.

Most pools require an adult to remain in the water with a small child. Are the Y lifeguards not properly trained to rescue a small child should one need to be rescued?

The real issue here is the argument that breastfeeding is "distracting" to the lifeguards. (Momma Star would love to know where the TYMCA finds these lifeguards.)

Has anyone else seen what passes for swimwear lately?

And this is distracting?

Bah humbug to them. Seriously. I am disturbed by the emboldened attitude of prudery, judgement and holier-than-thou attitude these days. You know who and what I blame...

Oh, amen.

Heaven forbid women go getting all uppity and acting as something other than sex objects and incubators.
