Why does this bother me? (re - breastfeeding)

I have actually had a fair number of conversations about this over the years
while NIP, particularly as my babies got into the toddler years. You'd never
believe the number of women I've encountered who guiltily confessed to me as
I nursed my 1+yo that they had nursed until their children were 2, 3, or
(shocking!) even more than 3yo. I always enjoy these conversations during
which I unblinkingly own to having nursed my oldest for 3y2m and to knowing
quite a number of moms who nursed until their kids were closer to 5yo.

I am finding that also here lately(not just with nursing,
either...co-sleeping has been a big "discovery" lately). The fact that
this happens also relieves some of the stress of nursing in public (my
toddler hates nursing without pushing my shirt up, it's about
impossible to be discreet in any way)...for any negative comment or
look you may get, think of all the mothers who "secretly" nursed their
tots that long. The person with the comments has no clue. kwim?
