Today, my husband and I hosted Easter dinner. Since I was in my own home, I breastfed without a cover. My sister-in-law stormed out in a rage, screaming that I was being obscene, and equated it to shooting heroin in front of her kids. Happy Easter indeed. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my mom visited, and I left her for a few minutes while I used the bathroom. While I was stuck taking a crap, she went on one of her religious rants, telling my children that Easter was off this year because their precious "pagan" Easter Bunny had been murdered. FML
Today, what started as a fun family Easter egg hunt turned within minutes into my mother-in-law's big chance to be a dramatic cow by screaming at my 5 and 7-year-old daughters for participating in a "vile pagan ritual" and saying that we're all going to hell. They're still bawling. FML
Today, a woman started breastfeeding her infant in a restaurant. Disgusted, I told her to take it to the bathroom, as I was eating. In response, she squirted me with milk then went back to ignoring me. FML
Today, my in-laws invited us over to dinner. I decided to help out in the kitchen and watched in horror as my mother-in-law licked every utensil, sucked her fingers while making the plates and slurped wine straight from the bottle. My husband said I was rude for refusing to eat. FML
Today, my sister in law threatened to call CPS on me because I “starved” her children when they spent the night. I didn’t starve them. I made an actual home cooked meal instead of the microwaveable or fast food crap she constantly feeds them. They chose not to eat and threw tantrums instead. FML
Today, at work, I was taking a woman's measurements while she held her screaming baby. To silence the infant, she whipped out her breast right there and started feeding him. Moments later, he puked breast milk all over my desk. FML
Today, it was my brother's wedding so my mother-in-law was taking care of my 8-month-old son. When I came back to our room to check how things were going, I saw her "breastfeeding" my child. She said it was the only way to calm him down because he didn't have a pacifier. FML
Today, my wife opted for a home birth with a nurse and her mother. Her mother is such a baby-feral, men-are-bastards, hippie feminist dragon that not only did she yell at me when I tried to be in the room, she has now pushed me out of the house. I ended up sat in my car with only one shoe and no phone. FML
Today, my husband once again thought it would be funny to rage-bait our child during dinner. There was screaming, food being thrown around, and a whole lot of running around instead of eating. I already had a headache and was already overstimulated, so I had to fend off a meltdown. All this over chicken burgers. FML
Today, I was nursing my baby in the park while my older kids played. A man stormed over and started screaming how vulgar and disgusting I was being, and how he didn’t want his kids exposed to “all that”. He and his buddies were all shirtless and playing vulgar music loudly through a speaker. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

There is nothing wrong with feeding your own child. She should have known better than to do it because she is also a mother just like you.

Is she the chairman of the Itty Bitty Titty Committy*? *Yeah, I know it’s really “committee.”

Usually women who are so aggressively against public breastfeeding are either women who were taught to be ashamed of their body and / or feel defensive because they didn’t breastfeed themselves, even if the breastfeeding mother doesn’t give a flying **** since it’s a personal choice. Some also are so insecure that they think breastfeeding mothers are trying to seduce their husband and attract attention, as if there was anything sexy about a baby’s mouth attached to a breast leaking milk, smh…

I think the main part of this that makes it FML worthy is that it wasn't public, it was in her own home, which her sister in law was a guest in.

Let me guess... you're in America right? Don't worry, there is NOTHING wrong with what you did. Ignore her.

I know breast feeding is what breasts were designed for and that you can do whatever you like but if you normally wear a cover and you weren't in private maybe asking might be a good idea. Just to avoid situations like this.

Fair point. So next time you feel hungry and want to go out for dinner, make sure to ask other people permission first in case they get offended. Also don't forget to put a blanket over your head so people don't have to see you chewing.

T1A2Z3, OP wasn't out in public. She was hosting Easter dinner at her own home.... Now OP knows whom not to invite over anymore. More food for everybody else!

OP was in her home, with family members. I would consider that "in private". And to equate breast feeding with shooting up drugs is rather demented. I admit to being a bit weirded out when I see a woman breastfeeding, but I also know that 1) society has conditioned us to sexualize women's breasts and 2) it's what women's boobs were designed to do. I can always look somewhere else.

It isn't really about the place where you feed but about the company in which you are in. If you are feeding in a public place with nobody around it doesn't matter if you cover anything. If you have a huge party at home the major point is not home but party.

Don’t welcome her back into your home if she can’t handle it.
