A Family That Pumps Together Stays Together
Aahh good times. Oh, hi. You caught me looking through a photo album. Yeah, after reading some of Angelina Jolie's recent interview with Entertainment Weekly she reminded me of all the good times my family had while we sat around and watched my mother pump her breasts for milk for my baby sister. What? You didn't do this? Of course you didn't because it's insane.
Angelina Jolie has decided though that her entire family should participate when she pumps.
"They're old enough to feel included to change diapers themselves, to feed bottles themselves, like if I pump into a bottle. We're trying to find ways where it can be a fun group thing ... Everybody gets special time so we can make sure we know where they're at."
A fun group thing? When I think of family activities I think of picnics or going to the zoo. Obviously Angie Jo and I are on different pages here. How exactly does this turn into a group thing? One kid holds the pump while another massages mommy's breast while another holds the video camera while yet another goes in for leftovers? And what the hell does she mean by special time. I know there is an ellipse in the quote so I am hoping to hell though that it is not referring to something involving her pumping. How could that be made special? I'm not sure I really want to hear the explanation though.
Well, at least you can say they are a close family just like mom and their uncle.
