Today, I saw a woman breastfeeding her child at the local park. That would have been just fine if the child wasn't at least 8 years-old. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I was at the mall with my young daughter. I hate pooping in public but I really had to go so I brought her in with me. Thinking we were alone, I started to go and my daughter yelled, "Good job Mommy, you're using the potty like a big girl!" I then heard laughing. FML
Today, I got a new babysitting job. Every time the little girl goes to the bathroom, she screams and cries until I wipe her. She's 7 years old. FML
Today, I realized that my 3 year-old son, who is being potty trained, has better aim standing up to pee than his 30 year-old father. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend of two years has a beautiful daughter. That's cool, except she's one year old. FML
Today, as I waited to fly home, a very attractive woman smiled and gestured towards the seat next to me. However, a hyperactive child and his mother barged past into said empty seats. The woman really hit it off with the guy behind, while I was stuck listening to a kid scream at Angry Birds. FML
Today, my mother stopped speaking to me because I won’t let her babysit anymore. Her idea of babysitting is to sit my daughter alone with a tablet and a pile of sugary junk food for 7 hours straight. FML
Today, a kid on a bike passed me and commented on my "big fat butt." Recognizing him from the neighborhood, I told my husband to go speak to his parents about the inappropriate comment. It turns out his father is the man who yesterday commented on my "big bouncing tits." FML
Today, my 16-year-old daughter handed me the picture she wants TV reports to use if ever she happens to get kidnapped. FML
Today, I witnessed a large woman pee on a pregnancy test in the middle of a Walmart parking lot, clean herself off, then wander around with the test hanging out of her mouth, waiting for her result. Where in the name of Christ do these people come from? FML
Today, an elderly man had to give me money to pay for my grocery bill because my sister broke down crying in the store as I didn't have enough money to pay for both her milkshake and cookies. She's 19. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just imagine the kids school friends walked past. Kids these days are merciless, that poor child is heading for the worst high school years known to man.

No the child is most likely home schooled if she is still nursing.

Breastfeeding in public is fine, for a toddler. not an 8 year old. wtf? Go home and breastfeed you kid.

Separation anxiety is going to kick that kid's ass when he gets older.

Nah, he's just 5, but breast feeding makes kids look a lot older. Take a chill pill!

100%legal an healthy. Normal weaning age for human children is between 4-7 years old. Chances are the kid wasn't closer to 5 or 6. My 10 month old looks like a 2 year old. Either way it's 10000000000x healthier than cows milk or artificial milk(formula).

No, it's not. Normal weaning age is 2, just as normal potty training age is 4-5. Anything above and you need to start thinking a bit harder about the health of your situation.

Nope wrong it's between 2.5 - 7 or 4 - 7...

Yeah it's 2 to 7 and 4-5 four potty training is way too late. Maybe a pull up at bedtime but that is way to old to not be potty trained.

208- potty training a child at 4-5? What child do you know that wears diapers at age 5? My nieces are potty trained before age 2. Clearly your "facts" are wayyyy off.

howd you know the age of the kid?????

I say FML for the kid. I don't see how that's an FML for OP because it's a great funny/sick story to tell to others, well unless the mother was tragically hideous then perhaps it is a real FML.

in many cultures, breast feeding up to that age is considered normal. it has nothing to do with sexuality or the mother being an enabler or the child too clingy. of course in western culture it is looked down upon simply because it is not the norm in OUR culture.
DelphiCat 17
The difference, and this is important, is that in those cultures breasts are not a sexual object. Hence why women walk around topless - because nobody cares! Because breasts ARE considered a sexual object in western society, this is why your kid will be just a little ****** up by you sticking your boob in his mouth at the age of 8. Unless you plan to somehow stop the entirety of western (and actually many asian) society (ies) thinking of chebs as a sexual object, you cannot seriously condone breast-feeding 8yr olds.

I met a woman who proudly admitted she breast feeds her 4 1/2 year old son. She got offended when I laughed said "why" and left. But 8yrs old?! Ewww Maybe its normal in 3rd world countries to breastfeed because its the only food source for them. But not in a wealthy colorado town!

Whether its strange or not, it's extremely rude for you to be scornful of someone else's choices. True, she shouldn't be feeding her 8 year old in public (simply because of his age) but that doesn't mean you should be blatantly rude.
