“Was it AITA who told my husband to shut up when he told him to stop breastfeeding?”
Me (25th floor) and my husband (26 boys) had a baby 5 months ago. We both live together. I also exclusively breastfed, and I'm not going to lie, it was hard. I have breastfed in public, but never openly. I openly breastfeed at home.
No one has come to the house since we brought the baby home. Her husband brought up that her friends were coming over again on the weekend, just like before. I had no problem with this because I get along well with his friends and he brings his friends over every other Saturday or Sunday.
His friends came over last Sunday and we were playing video games. I usually just hang out on the couch or hang out in the bedroom while they run errands. I was feeding my baby in the bedroom and I got hungry so I went to the kitchen to buy something. I can see the kitchen from the living room, but I didn't think it was a big deal since I was literally just breastfeeding my baby.
My husband and his friends noticed me, but they just looked and continued what they were doing. Then her husband looked angry and she came into the kitchen and whispered to me that she shouldn't breastfeed here and now. I told him I was hungry and there was no need to hide it because this was our home. He kept begging me to come back upstairs.
I told him to shut up. He got furious and told me it was weird to do that in front of his friends. His friends obviously heard this, and they all listened uncomfortably. I was so angry and upset that I just went back to my room and waited for everyone to leave.
Since then, my husband has been furious and said that if I did that, he probably wouldn't bring me again and that I had made his friends feel uncomfortable. I don't know if what I did was really weird, but I wonder if there was no malicious intent? I'm just breastfeeding. Ita?

His friends didn't seem to care until he said something about it.

NTA for the first time in a while. Not only do you need to breastfeed your 5-month-old, but you also need to feed yourself to keep the engine running. The two of us are eating together now. Your boyfriend is abnormal.

Not one of the Lil Friends Said:
National Tax Agency. I publicly did it around everyone under the sun: my father, my husband's friends, my brother, my stepfather, my husband's sister's boyfriend, my sister's boyfriend, my male colleague (who was actually pumping), the pastor at my church, etc. I have breastfed my three children. Our church… no one has seen me too long, they know what I'm doing and it's no big deal. Your husband is weird.
Just 4 The Spam and Eggs Said:
National Tax Agency. Your children, your home, your hunger. Unless you're walking around completely topless or something. You didn't walk into the room and yell, “Look how big my boobs got from breastfeeding!” It went into an empty part of the house to eat something, just as humans do in their own homes when they are hungry. If it bothered me that much, I should have told you later instead of making a fuss.
benevolent otter Said:
National Tax Agency. As all the science points out, breastfeeding your baby is extremely important. He shouldn't be mad at you, he should be mad at his friends who think it's funny.
Everyone was on OP's side on this one. What is your advice to this couple?
