Why do we have to worry what everyone else thinks while others don't. You can't have it both ways.

I think discretion is appropriate in both situations. That said, my wife and I take our kids everywhere. If they needed to be fed (when they were breastfeeding), then she did so. Sometimes that needed to be in a public place, but with some modesty. She didn't just openly fling a boob out, she kept baby close and covered. Nothing wrong and nothing more natural than caring for your child. I agree with our Euro friends here, Americans are often too uptight on this topic. Society has made the right thing to do a disgusting thing. We need to grow up.

Thats completly fine, I just can't stand when people do it in such plain view, I find it gross, If you wife covers it up I couldn't care less and thats fine, as for my x husband and I lol I'm not a huge PDA person, I don't like making people feel uncomftorable we have done it sure and if someones a real dick i've been known to do it to piss em off BUT for the most part I am very respectful to people, on a side note I don't like PDA from anyone really gay or straight, just my 2 cents
