Rachel - Glad to hear that your impression of LLL Leaders has been favorably changed! I spend a fair amount of my time trying to undo the negative stereotypes that some people have of LLL. And yes, Leaders do vary widely in their experiences and ways of handling situations - just as we all do in most areas of life. I am usually both pleased and saddened when I hear from someone that they were surprised at how welcoming and accepting our LLL Group is - I wish all Groups would really strive to meet moms where they are. I do have to tell you, your comment about perhaps being uppity because you were breastfed for more than six months concerns me, since my two long-term BF daughters really don't need any more reasons to be uppity! : ) Karen Pogge, MD, LLLL in NY *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
