WHEN YOU JUST NEED NOT SAY ANYTHING!

This is the shit that makes me crazy!

"Remember how Gisele Bundchen said that mothers who don't breastfeed their babies should be shackled and thrown into prison for the rest of their lives? And remember how you drove by Gisele's house last night and threw out a titty balloon full of spoiled milk with a note attached that read "Breastfeed on this so your bitch ass can shut up already!". Remember that? If you don't, you should go suckle on a bottle of Ginkgo, because this happened yesterday so your memory might be going. But I'm disgressing all over the place again!

Gisele went on her blog last night to clarify the "there should be a worldwide breastfeeding law" comment she made to Harper's Bazaar UK. Gisele wrote:
My intention in making a comment about the importance of breastfeeding has nothing to do with the law. It comes from my passion and beliefs about children. Becoming a new mom has brought a lot of questions, I feel like I am in a constant search for answers on what might be the best for my child. It’s unfortunate that in an interview sometimes things can seem so black and white. I am sure if I would just be sitting talking about my experiences with other mothers, we would just be sharing opinions. I understand that everyone has their own experience and opinions and I am not here to judge. I believe that bringing a life into this world is the single most important thing a person can undertake and it can also be the most challenging. I think as mothers we are all just trying our best.
The next time Gisele doesn't LITERALLY mean something, she should use the word LIT-TERALLY in front of it so we know not to take her statement seriously.-DILISTED

Take a look at what Giselle has to say about breastfeeding, and then retracting her statement because she sounded like a total ASS! From the beginning I have always said my blog was going to be about me, but that I would also try and be somewhat subjective, when necessary; whatever works for you kinda thing...but what I cannot tolerate is rampant rants about things that might not work for everyone. I mean, she should obviously stick to modeling, she's got looks but that does not necessarily mean she's got the brains!

Here's the thing, Giselle, biselle, miselle whoever the hell you are...you have a right to take a passionate stance re: breastfeeding. You can believe it in, feel it, live it, breathe it, but that does NOT mean you can be intolerant of those who do not shares your same sentiments. I think there's a fine line to be crossed in that regard and many people cross it without realizing what it is that they are saying. Why is it that the breastfeeders can't condone the non-breastfeeders, but the formula feeders don't say (or typically do not) negative things about the breastfeeders? Or if they do, they certainly do it quietly...I know I do:)

I think I finally know where I stand on this issue...I believe and condone both behaviors. It is not contingent on what I "believe" to be right, more so dependent on the mother and the child. Who am I to judge someone who decides it is indeed the best thing to do, given the proven medical history they are probably correct. On the other hand, some chose not to do it just because, some literally are not able to, and some try and it just does not work out for anyone...

In conclusion, watch your mouth! Words are powerful especially when it comes to women who are pregnant, post pregnant breastfeeding, etc. What is good for you may not be good for others and that's just what makes the world more colorful. It is such a controversial topic I doubt it will ever go away, but maybe one day we will live in a world where the breastfeeders can share the same general space as a formula feeders, and live in perfect harmony!

Awwww, the joys of pregnancy...NOT!
