that's weird Sexual abuse (the real deal) seems pretty clear cut to me- after they catch every molester inserting a penis or foreign object into a child THEN they can go after the gray area of nursing- but UNTIL that day, maybe they should back off. What is WITH people- have they no sense of proportion? Apparently not.

I cringed when I saw that the babysitter was the one who brought the complaint and the child was now living with the babysitter. I wonder how disinterested her complaints were? I do think breast-feeding until age 6 is extremely weird. My sister breastfed her kids until they were 3 or 4 and I thought that was extremely weird. The kid doesn't need the breast milk for nourishment anymore. The maternal-child bond isn't going to suffer by the transition from breast-feeding to more autonomy, but of course it will change. But change is part of growing up. I'm not going to go into the particulars of my own too-clingy mothering - but I had my moments, too. It's hard to let them take the next step - even harder to make them take the next step when they don't want to. Edit: I confess, I let the kids co-sleep past the age where people would think it was weird. But I let them drag their mattresses in and put them on the floor so we all had our own beds. I guess that's co-sleeping.
