I’m sure people would rather see a black square than look at your judgy eye holes as you squirm uncomfortably in your chair because a woman dares to nourish her hungry child. Here’s an idea: How about you go through the meeting with your eyes shut? Or you take the time and energy to turn your camera off. She told me it’s rude to talk with no video on and she has the right to feed her baby.”Īlthough it’s 2020, it sounds like some people still expect breastfeeding mothers to accommodate their personal preferences, even in the privacy of their own home, because somebody might see them and be offended. I didn’t ask publicly, I asked in private. I asked her in a private message to shut off her video during the Zoom call and she was livid. We don’t see the full boob but she doesn’t cover up. But he goes on to complain that “she doesn’t mute her mic or turn off video. His plea on Reddit continues as the self-proclaimed asshole (hey, at least he got something right) says he is aware babies need to eat (good job, moron, you get a gold star). Also, feeding your child isn’t the same as pinching off a load in the toilet or stroking your penis during a Zoom meeting, so you can chill the fuck out.

“For work” this new mother is doing what the hell she wants because it’s her right to do so. One of our coworkers has a baby and she breastfeeds her baby while we are on a video call.” “These don’t require video even if you’re talking. “For work we have morning conference calls,” this jerk said. We don’t have a lot of room for assholes like the one who took to Reddit because he was upset his female coworker fed her baby during a company Zoom meeting. Moms, especially, are wearing all their hats at once. That means family and work life are going to be mixing and mingling indefinitely, and there’s no way around it. Childcare is gone, and we now sit in front of our computers for meetings instead of at a long table or desk at our place of employment.

A lot of us are forced to work and live in new ways since the spread of COVID-19 has taken over our lives.
