My family spent last weekend at the lake. There were hundreds of people there, this was a state park. My dad, my sister, and my wife and I (no kids yet) drove together to meet up with my brother and his wife. When we got there we all unloaded and started carrying things down to the picnic table where my sister in law was nursing my niece, boob fully out and everything. We all awkwardly set down the kayaks, and other stuff and then headed straight back to the SUV to see "what else" there was to bring down aka give my sister in law some time.
There was some privacy in that the picnic table had trees around it, but if you were on our side of the swim area you could definitely see it all. Tonight we were all watching a movie at my parents' and I turned towards the couch and saw that my sister in law was breast feeding again with no cover (though the lights were off). We had previously said that she could use our room if the baby was hungry.
This just really weirded out my wife and I - and I'm pretty sure my dad and maybe my sister, though I haven't talked to them about it. If someone wants to breast feed with a cover in public that doesn't really bother me, what really did it was that her shirt was more than half way off and you could pretty much see everything, breast, stomach, whatever.
Is this the new cool thing? I mean, I'm just getting to the point where some of my friends and family are having children, so have things changed that much since I was a kid or is this just inconsiderate?
I just don't like the feeling that I'm randomly going to see my sister in laws boobs whenever we see family. What if I was attracted to my sister in law? That would be really bad. Fortunately I'm not, but I don't want to see her partly naked either.
