A Los Angeles-based mother, Elisha Wilson Beach, shared a photo of herself breastfeeding her 11-month-old daughter in the bathroom. Would you call it ‘gross’? Well, I wouldn’t!
If you’re a hands-on mother and are trying to do ten things at one time, especially if you more than one child, then you’d be pkay and smiling away looking at this picture! Fixing dinner while checking emails, eating a plate of leftovers while doing homework, or even going to the bathroom while breastfeeding at the same time is all part of the job description of being a mother!!
Her husband, Mike Beach, captured the moment to share on social media. According to Today.com
“I thought it was a cute moment to remember, It was funny. I loved it.”
So she decided to share it on Instagram, captioning:
“This is motherhood and it ain’t always pretty. What’s your #momtruth? #motherhood #motherhoodaintpretty #tmi #confessionsofamom #ididthat #iamnotsorry.”
And that’s when she opened the flood gates to a huge wave of offensive comments.
Comments poured in, calling the photo “distasteful,” “unsanitary” and “disgusting” because it took place in the bathroom.
Well, do you find this photo to be offensive? I do not! All I see is a mother in the privacy of her own home taking care of her child’s needs! While the first look at the picture, may make you feel its ‘ unhygienic’, but, if you’re a mother, and that too a super-busy one, you would’ve totally understood the picture!
