What is wrong with people?

So, I was thinking about this yesterday then there was a story on the news this morning that confirmed my need to spout about this.  Apparently, a professor who is a single mom had to take her baby to her lecture because he had a fever.  She could not take him to day care due to the fever and she did not have a back up sitter.  She didn't want to miss her first lecture so she took the baby with her.  No big deal until she BREAST FED the baby in front of the class.  I'm in favor of breast feeding and my Mom breast fed all of us but when did it become acceptable to whip out your boob and feed your baby in front of a college class room?!  A few weeks ago we were at some family theme park, I'm walking along and I look over and there's a woman breast feeding her baby.  It was awkward, I had to do a double take and my son says, "Mom did you see that!"  I simply said, "Yes she's feeding her baby."  It's natural, it's accepted and believe me I think breast feeding is awesome BUT cover up your boob, there are capes, blankets and special devices to help you with the cover up.  You can also go to a private room--share the moment with your child in private.  AND then there's the option of the bottle.  I know, I know--it's crazy and unheard of but it is an option.

On another note, you can show your boobs whenever you want like in New Orleans,  on a nude beach, at rock concerts and with your boyfriend/husband.   I don't recommend it as a career move unless you are a stripper or an actress.  I also don't recommend it at family parks or church.

Did you see the story about the woman who tried potty training her daughter in the middle of a restaurant?  I did not read the specifics but once again, "WHAT was she thinking?"  It's a restaurant, there are other people trying to enjoy their meal and they might think that's gross, unhygienic and embarrassing.  I've been there, potty training is hard.  That is why my Mother finished potty training our son when she came to stay with us for a week.  It takes discipline, focus and attention so STAY HOME or invite your Mom to come stay with you for a week.  I don't know what to say about this one.  Have people lost all sense of dignity?  What if the poor child ends up not being able to go to the bathroom unless she is in the middle of a restaurant or in public?  That will cause problems later in life--I'm just sayin. 

AND another thing--can you believe that New York banned the sale of super size soft drinks?  Why does government think it's their job to fix us?  You can't protect people from themselves.  If I'm a fat ass who doesn't want to exercise or change my eating habits that my problem.   This is not only a personal rights/choice issue it's also a capitalistic issue.  You are limiting a business' opportunity to increase sales.

It's really SO ridiculous.I'm sure there are other stories out there and don't get me wrong I've definitely done some embarrassing people in public but my fodder is people I don't know or people I do know.  I try not to call myself out and my coping mechanism is memory loss.
