A new mother has been left deeply hurt after her best friend's husband accused her of 'indecently exposing' herself while breastfeeding her five-month-old son at a barbecue she hosted. The incident, which occurred in her own home, has led to the friend being removed as godmother.
The woman, who shared her story on Reddit, explained that she had gone to the nursery to feed her baby away from guests. However, her best friend's husband opened the door while looking for the bathroom, interrupting the feed. He later left the party with his wife and sent a group message criticising her for 'exposing' herself and claiming she was not setting a good example for her son.
The mother said she felt 'quite upset' and was further saddened that her best friend had not responded to her messages. Her husband described the guest's behaviour as 'having lost his mind'. She questioned whether she should have used bottle feeding instead.
Reddit users rallied in support, stating she had done nothing wrong. One commented: 'You were in your house inside a closed room. If he felt he shouldn't have had to see you breastfeeding then he shouldn't have snooped.' Another added: 'Why on Earth was he opening random doors in your house???'
