You know, if someone came up to me and said they were bottle feeding their bunny rabbit or co-sleeping with their pet boa constrictor so they could "bond", I wouldn't right to their face say they were crazy. I would wait until I got home, them tell my friends about the nut I met in the supermarket today.

If someone said they were going to have 5 kids, put them in daycare, and have a fast-paced career while nannies and babysitters took care of their kids, it would be considered rude for me to have an opinion that differs with their "choices".

So why the hell is it okay for others to make comments and pass judgments on my choices as a parent and a wife?????

To those I say:

"Yes, I am breastfeeding both my boys. No, it is not harder than bottle feeding. Yes, even the two year old. Yes, he has teeth. "

"No, I do not get ANY sexual feelings from nursing. Trust me. At times it feels as good as a vaginal delivery. Other times it feels like someone ripping my nipple off. There are times it doesn't even feel like anything...but I can guarantee, there is NO time it feels like anything my husband might do."

"Yes, all five are mine. I am sure."
closely followed by...
"Yes, I would rather you are dead than take my kids any day. Matter of fact, if you tried to take my kids, you probably would be dead."

"I may have more, I may not. Should I call you when we are about to have unprotected sex and you can give me your views then?? Or, you could just tell me here, in the supermarket aisle your views on how I should live my sex life."

"Yes, my children sleep in my bed if they want. Again, what is with the concern with my sex life????? Obviously we have sex..."

And lastly..

"Yes, I know how these things happen. I do not have cable, and if I did, all the smut on cable would probably add more excitement to our life, if you know what I mean..."

Ok...done.
