I did urinte [sic] in the washroom this morning, and by chance I looked down. I felt a fair amount of smahe [sic] at my own audacity.

I was feeling embarrasment [sic] and smahe [sic] for staring, laughing and pointing at myself. Perhaps I’ll report myself to the manager.

Good grief, sean! If you’re going to be an advocate, at least take the time to use the spell-checker.

Kimberly said: If an official letter exists prohibiting breastfeeding, it would be outdated and perhaps illegal. I donâ€t know about Canadian law, but many U.S. states have codified the right to breastfeed (some states have restrictions - some allow recourse if a mother is prohibited in any way). Hereâ€s a link to a web site that summarizes each stateâ€s legislation:" Just because they pass legislation to make it legal to breastfeed in public doesnt mean we should cross a certain line and not feel the smahe and embarrasment. I mean The United states could pass Legislation to make it perfectly legal to have sex out in public or urinte-defacate in public, but that doesnt mean i would do that. Even if they pass laws that make it legal to public breastfeed is still not gonna change some people who will stare, laugh, point and make complaints about this to a store or restaurant manager

Every ward I’ve been in has a lounge, usually too small and too close to the toilets for breastfeeding.

However, the lounge is totally necessary for primping in between classes.

I would educate myself about the laws of my jurisdiction to prepare for any discussion with church leaders

though I need to clarify that I appreciate and love the priesthood as I receive all the blessings of it without the responsibility of holding it. My responsibilities lie in other, related areas.

Oh well, since the guys get the priesthood the least they could do is give the ladies a lounge, huh?

nope, they can’t go in the mother’s lounge. They use the foyer usually.

Ah. I get it.

Men who are also caring/feeding their babies go to this lounge too, right Mary?
