Club Breastfeeding Mums

mrswongtuition:

Don't be surprised that there are such FEMALES around...

Cos I had a boss that told me on my first day at work,\"I'm also a mother and I brought my kids up without sacrificing my career. Since I can do it, so can you. So don't tell me if you can't do or attend anything because of your family issues.\"

honestly, if i had a \"whiff\" of what the boss is like during the interview, i wld have snubbed the job. there r plenty of jobs around with bosses who treat others like human beings.

mrswongtuition, i'm curious. what was your reaction to your boss? i wld have told the boss off - \"every mother has a choice in what kind of mother she wants to be. i will try but i may not have (ie. a heart of stone) what it takes to be the kind of mother you are.\" (followed by a really sheepish and patronising smile)

personally, unless the quality of work is affected, it is unreasonable for employers not to allow staff to take leave to care for their sick children/ for other situations that may arise from time to time. depending on the job nature, the mother may choose to work from home or continue to work after office hours to finish up the work. of course, i'm assuming the mother has chalked up enough \"brownie points\" to justify some favour from the bosses.

such females probably just farm out the childrearing to whoever, maid, inlaw, husband etc totally just to focus on career, and spend v little time to be personally involved

agree. and could b those who dun like children but have children only for the sake of family pestering so no choice den focus on job and throw every responsibility to whoever la

cos for those who love children surely wont say or do such a thing to discriminate others who are doing it

DD2 came over to my side while i was BFing the lil one..

It will always be a question from DD2 when she's near.. :roll:
This time her question was, \"Mummy, shiok issit when you
breastfeed baby?\" \"Why do you ask that?\" I countered.
\"Ohh.. cos it's not rock hard ie. engorged... and you sure
look relaxed..\" So i replied, \"Hmm.. ok lah if you say it in
that sense, yes belly shiok!\" That garnered a big laugh
from her and she left me to my feeding.

talking abt return of menses, my boy is 20 mths liao and still feeding. i have not been having menses till date and many around me asked me to go for checkup saying something is wrong there, should come after a yr or so.


any of you whom had been feeding non stop for 2-3 years same like me menses free?

fed my girl till 20 months, but menses returned after 9 months...

i have a friend who fed her boy till about 18 or 20 months, and stopped because wanted to conceive #2 (upon gynae's advice). but even after stopping for quite long and trying regularly, it's been about a year and no luck. she went to see gynae but can't pinpoint a problem... she's not too old either. barely 30-31....

awww, she really sounds like a child raised the attachment parenting way! :love: pray she remains so sweet, thoughtful and compassionate! u really brought her up very well, she is probably emulating the love that you have shown to the people around you
