Fun on the Matterhorn

Some people of other cultures will still breast-feed their children till they're sometimes 8 years old. My brother-in-law's wife breast-fed their daughter till the little girl was 3...but they're not of another culture, they're just Canadian (the wife is anyway). :P

But, um, it IS seriously disturbing. Breast-feeding after a certain age (like 2) is kinda creepy and there's a fine line between mothering and just plain child abuse there after that. Seriously. *shrug* But to each their own I guess? I dunno....

I can probably shed some light on to why she still breastfeeds him.
There is a, essentially, a breastfeeding cult. I don't know what their name is (and no, the Militant Breastfeeding Cult isn't really a cult), that believes in breastfeeding for many years, usually not pass the age of four; they believe this is the only way to keep their children healthy and "intelligent"

(I believe there was a line in a Married with Children episode, where Al never lived, and Peggy breastfed Bud till the age of 9)...

Anyways, these people are crazy; treat them as if they were extremely dangerous! Because when my fiancee was still pregantnt, we'd attened childbirthing class, and this is where I discovered the teacher was one of these, so called, "Nipple Nazis"...freaky stuff
