  1. I thought I had seen it all. With 9 years in the Marine Corps and being an internet addict, this has to be some of the strangest shit I have ever seen.

  3. That just seems extremely weird and has to be difficult to continue at that age.

  4. One of my cousins was still breastfeeding her kid at six, and I thought it was so strange. Frankly, if they can ask in proper words for food then they are too old. When my kids started cutting teeth I was done.

  8. Well, I didn't watch the video cuz, yeah. But I read the article. I generally think that just because what a person is doing seems unusual doesn't make it wrong. If it's better for the kids and they don't end up with some weird psychosis, then all the more power to them.

  10. Right or wrong??? man thats just gross. Kinda shatters my iconic image of a endearing mum with a sweet babe tucked at her side.

  11. This is strange but not unheard of, thats what the teat is for we have sexualised the breast to the point of making it seem dirty. It's to the point a women cant breastfeed in the mall without getting at least a couple of dirty looks. If this women is guilty of anything its coddiling her 8 year old, its like letting a five year old run around with a binki.
