It seems MK needs a lactating room! I am really surprised with their silly philosphy about family they wouldnt accomodate women and small babies. That would be supporting and enriching!

Oh I haven't been to a meeting in over a month now, and I can't express how good it feels. I feel like it's really my business I'm running for the first time because I'm not held to the challenges and hype of my director. It's so nice. . .

OK, So I was nursing my 5 month old and was worried about him not wanting to nurse when I got back. (This year's Seminar.) The cronies told me "Do it for the baby". Beam What??? "He'll thank you in the long run when your business is a success and you are still home with him." I actually went to Seminar, hated it, pumped while I was there (in the middle of the night, in the closet on the floor) so as not to disturb my roommates. What a crock!!! Thank God my little boy nursed like crazy when I got home. Love My milk supply is still great and I'm still nursing, he's 9 months old. But I can't believe I went to that. I didn't really fall for their motivation, but I knew my year was up soon and I wanted to see if Seminar changed my thinking at all. Otherwise I was selling my inventory back. Guess what? I sold it back yesterday.  What a TRUE blessing to now see the light!!! angel |

Truly awful -- I'm just remembering how sleep-deprived and hormonal I was when I had a 10 week-old. My top 2 priorities became taking care of the baby and whatever sleep I could get. All non-essential activity was expendible. Amazingly, the world still managed without me.
Love Love Amen to that Kylaboo. A bunch of singing  's were the last thing that I even cared about seeing 10-weeks postpartum. Not to mention my body looking or feeling good dressed up in pantyhose and tight clothes! |

Thank you, all of you, for your support!! I was seriously very torn about going, but they kept pushing and made the impression that it would really change my business. Well, they were right about that. M'bye-bye!! wave It DOES make me mad thinking about it. >:( I sent my director an email telling her I sent my trash back (well, I said inventory). I wonder if she'll want to know reasons why I quit!!! There are so many...where do I begin? That would be a funny comeback. I tracked my packages earlier this morning. All 4 boxes were "Out for Delivery" in Dallas! Woo-hoo!!!  Thanks guys, you make me feel better. |

I tried taking my hand pump with me to pump at the convention center but there was -nowhere- I could do it. And, because they had us running like cattle from sunup to way past sundown, I only got to pump in the hotel room twice a day... I was miserable, and feeling guilty that I was risking my child's food supply for MK... It was the beginning of the end !!! |

I handed out some nursing karma for you gals as well. I read this post when it first went up and was so sick I couldn't even reply. I nursed my daughter and she never took a bottle. I couldn't imagine being pressured to go to Seminar while nursing, and the whole suggestion in the e-mail is ludicrous and SICK! It makes my heart ache to picture you guys at Seminar trying to pump and missing your babies.  I used to go to this breastfeeding support group and there was a woman there who was in the military. Her unit had been deployed to Iraq and she did not have to go with them. Guess why? She was breastfeeding her 4-month-old. Our country lets you GET OUT OF WAR DUTY TO NURSE - but in MK? You need to abandon your child, risk your milk supply and bonding with your child to attend a freak fest. It still makes me so mad, and I'm mostly not mad anymore, and that makes me mad!!!!!  |

Pink Beehind: Although I don't have a baby, I went to retreat for the same reason, to see if it would change my mind. I had already paid (nonrefundable of course) and was being pressured like CRAZY to go. Despite my best friend being in the hospital, I was getting calls about how I just couldn't miss it! My friend stabilized so I went, spent money, and wanted to leave the minute I got there. It was AWFUL! Just wondering, did you happen to call dh late at night and cry over how badly you wanted to bail? I actually considered leaving in the middle of the night (and driving 4 hours on no sleep) to get away from those women. I hate Kaybots
