Please… Just Don’t!!
Why do people take their sick kids out in public? Are people just clueless? Thoughtless? Ignorant? Do they just not care about anyone but themselves? I just don’t get it.
One Sunday I went to nurse my newborn baby in a mother’s lounge, and as I entered two mothers in the room who were also nursing [...]
