Parental opinions can really weigh in heavily.
My Mom rants about how GROSS it is to breastfeed past 6 months-12 months of age. 12 months of age is "really pushing it" according to her. She really made me feel poorly. She went on and on like this for so long (while trying to conceive) that I finally told her, "Either you keep your different opinion about my breasts to yourself, or I will sit completely topless in your living room breastfeeding any future children I may have." She knows I am quite serious and I haven't heard any negativity directed at me since then!

: She has opinions about everything, though, and I find them to be quite irritating and the exact opposite of how I live/do things.
