"I know that in your opinion a school aged child nursing is harmful to that child's well-being. And you are certainly entitled to that opinion. I haven't seen anything to show that it actually IS harmful, though. And until I am persuaded that there is some actual harm involved, my opinion will continue to be that it is a matter of choice for the families involved."
"I think there are a few people on this board that don't seem to be able to discuss their reasoning behind their opinion and provide evidence when logical. These are the same people that don't understand the difference between making a statement that applies only to them and one that they have applied across the board. Shrug."
My thing is when i ext b/f i had private time with my three year old, i should have weaned her B4. i did, i gave her what she wanted, shrug. my only girl. There is no need for "private time" to suck your mothers nipples to feel better about yourself at eight years old.
I would like to see a link that states that A eight year old child need "private" time with their parents. Im all for quality time. Or one on one.
Mine also spit out a pacifier each one befor 2 weeks. None of them suck their thumbs. They all nursed but we also always used bottles b/c dh wanted to feed and i insisted he was a part of their lives at 2 weeks he is responsible for feeding them. :)
anyway, I tried to understand your responses to me when i told you i dont understand AND i still dont get what your saying after explanation...sorry. I think i have been quite clear, how i view nursing babies who enter elementary school and why. I also have been VERY clear that i think it is harmful to nurse a eight year old and why.
You asked me what civilized means to me, reclaim from a savage state.
I could not disagree more, if you actualy research this board the ppl who insist on repeat back up, have not benn able to back their own views or do not back their own views.
